Georgia Tech, Professor Jim Foleyhas been testing whether students listening to face to face lectures, or reviewing lectures on laptops/iPods learn better. Using class test results, the laptop/iPod group seem to perform 10% better.

I’ll admit that I’m skeptical regarding the Georgia Tech study. My guess is that the students did better because they were early adopters who were more interested in or familiar with the technologies they needed to know to do well in the course.
Chuck, I tend to agree; these sort of surveys only work over huge sample sizes.
