Abstract This study assessed the impact of iPad and tablet-based activities on students' attitudes towards technology, engagement levels, and perceived learning outcomes at the University of Cyberjaya, examining the relationship between the frequency of iPad use and these educational metrics. A cross-sectional study was done among 369 undergraduate students using iPads or tablets at the University of Cyberjaya from 2023 to 2024 collected data via online questionnaires on demographics, feelings about technology, performance expectations, perceived learning, and engagement. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics and regression analysis, were used to analyze the data. Most respondents were female (63.4%), Malay (40.9%), MBBS students (54.5%), with high frequencies of daily technology use (61.5%) and in-class tablet use (51.2%) reported. Significant percentages indicated positive feelings about technology (86.7%), high performance expectations (80.5%), perceived learning benefits (82.7%), and effectiveness in meeting course objectives (88.6%). Regression analysis confirmed significant but weak correlations between iPad use and attitudes towards technology, perceived learning, and engagement. The study underscores the positive impact of iPads on students' educational experiences, highlighting their role in enhancing engagement, learning outcomes, and attitudes towards technology, though the impact on aca-demic performance may still be influenced by other factors.
