As an addendum, a study at Oregon State University is described in: Stritto, M. and Linder, K. (2019, January 10). Uncovering Student Device Preferences for Online Course Access and Multimedia Learning. https://er.educause.edu/blogs/2019/1/uncovering-student-device-preferences-for-online-course-access-and-multimedia-learning? Considering the emphasis that is sometimes put on use of phones and tablets, a useful finding (which has come up in previous studies) is that "A key finding in this study was respondents' overwhelming ownership and use of laptops. As shown in figure 2, 73 percent of the respondents preferred laptops for accessing their online course via the learning management system (LMS). Majorities of respondents also preferred their laptops for viewing video content and learning with simulations and games."
