The document discusses the technology usage of students and challenges faced by higher education institutions. It notes that most students own multiple mobile devices but many schools ban or discourage smartphone use in class. While students value technology for academic and career purposes, most schools do not provide remote access to resource-intensive applications needed for programs like engineering. This limits students to using such apps only on campus computers. The document proposes that mobile workspaces can provide students and faculty with secure, on-demand access to applications from any device to better support modern, flexible learning.
