Digital decisions: cost-benefit analysis
- The wide range of factors that appear to influence participants' decisions suggest that these decisions can be complex and may require students to adopt a cost-benefit analysis when making decisions.
- Nine participants talked about their decisions being influenced by time considerations
- six participants mentioned cost as a deciding factor and two mentioned perceptions of risk.
- Time however, seems to be an incredibly important factor particularly in relation to decisions made regarding use of assistive technologies and social networking applications.
- Participants are aware of the benefits or pleasures that use of these technologies might bring them, but are having to making a decision about whether the benefits (learning or social) outweigh the costs in terms of time, where time is predominantly mentioned in relation to taking time away from study.
