Summary/Abstract: This exploratory study analyzed students’ perception of a paperless English classroom to identify participants who successfully used the paperless environment. The participants (n = 179) were tasked to answer a questionnaire. Results only showed a significant difference in the amount of time the participants used their PCs to work on their assignments; however, PCs’ prior use was not a factor. The transition from a traditional paper-based classroom to a paperless one cannot be taken for granted. Sufficient instruction on how the digital materials can be accessed is necessary for some learners to embrace a paperless classroom.
