Some Northwestern professors are banning technology in classrooms
Original: Some NU professors are pulling the plug on technology in classrooms
Some Northwestern University professors are removing technology from their classrooms, going back to basics like pens, paper and spoken discussion. The move is a response to growing concern about laptops and phones distracting students and weakening engagement in lectures. The change is drawing attention to a wider debate in higher education over whether digital tools help or hinder learning, with other universities watching how the policy works in practice.
Why now: Debates over screens, distractions and AI in higher education are current, making a professor-led tech ban newsworthy.
