abstract = "Mobile devices have been widely used by higher education students for learning purposes. This paper explores the students{\textquoteright} typical usage of mobile phones, tablet devices and notebook computers in different learning activities, based on the online surveys conducted to the full-time undergraduate students in the Open University of Hong Kong over the past three years. It is revealed that, besides e-mail access and internet browsing, mobile phones are often used for social networking. They were not usually used for reading e-books and doing assignments. Tablet devices are often used for reading e-books, connecting to learning portal and internet browsing, but not for doing assignments. Notebook computers are frequently used in almost all learning activities, especially for doing assignments. The results affirm that the usage depends on the nature of the learning activities and the technical features and limitations of the devices.",
