N2  - The author examined the literature regarding college students' use of smartphones during class time. Findings included the following: Students believe they are capable of multitasking with smartphones, but they are not and earn lower grades as a result; students misperceive that their peers use smartphones during class time more than they do to text other students, surf the Web, and visit social sites; and professors' policies regarding cellphone use vary greatly, but they agree that campus wide policies regarding smartphone use would enhance learning. Gaps in the literature are identified and areas for future research proposed
