Abstract
This study examines students’ use of technology for learning (accessing the course Web site to
download PowerPoint slides for note taking and exam preparation) relative to more traditional
learning methods (reading the textbook and taking notes in class and from the textbook) and
the effect of their learning strategies on exam performance and class attendance. Students
who were categorized as high on use of technology and low on traditional learning methods
or low on technology and high on traditional learning methods exhibited higher attendance
and performance than those students categorized as high or low on both technology and traditional
learning methods. Results suggest that there is more than one path for optimal exam
performance.
