Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) such as laptops, smart phones, tablets etc. have become an integral part\r\nof almost every higher education student�s learning toolbox. In this study, the faculty and student perspectives on\r\nthe effectiveness of the use of PEDs during classes are collected and compared using surveys done at Southern\r\nPolytechnic State University. Faculty openness and reservations, policies, student temptations and complaints are\r\ndiscussed. While the PEDs can be a source of distraction, they, if used carefully, can also provide an opportunity for\r\nengaging students.
