But some of its engineers attended sessions, and it benefited from the success of the students' apps.
Earlier this morning, Google announced that it would stop scanning students' Apps for Education accounts to target ads at them.
And for high school students, apps like Anatomy 4D create 3D renderings of the human body to give students a hands-on anatomy lesson directly from a tablet.
Did students' app performance correlate with their academic performance in the unit?
Based on the students' app engagement, various data was collected through the app's analytics centre, including the speed of student responses to quiz prompts and the number of attempts it took a student to get the answer right.
After measuring the relationships between students' app usage and their engagement, retention, and academic achievement in the subject, they show that all these measures are positively correlated with the app usage.
The decision was reinforced by the immediate availability of analytical data generated by the students' app use as well as the relative ease of accessing aggregate student data on retention and academic performance.
This study's focus was on correlations between students' app usage and their academic performance in the unit, however causal relations between these variables would need to be gauged further through future in-depth studies of student experience.
After measuring the relationships between students' app usage and their engagement, retention and academic achievement in the subject, it is suggested that following the app's introduction, student retention rates and academic performance increased, and there was a positive correlation between students' scoring highly on the app and achieving higher academic grades.
That's why there's StereoBot.com, a new service that allows filmmakers, students, app designers, and presenters to buy licenses to innocuous-sounding music for use in projects.
