TOURS

Initial tours done in other universities relied on student’s personal devices to scan the QR barcodes.

When iPad 1 came out we waited for 2. Knew that a camera would be on it.

Tour has become very popular. Students like being able to tour at their convenience.

144 iPads to check out for class sets

Keep those for a semester

HOW THEY ARE CIRCULATING IPADS

Critical reading over the traditional textbook

iThoughts HD for Concept Mapping

They are very physical, very tactile

Not a whiteboardNot a mouseThey are in the

student’s hands

PDF AnnotatorsThink about how

students read and annotate

Dropbox and Evernote are very big

Tagging and how students tag is very interesting as well

HOW ARE THE PADS BEING USED

Professors are using audio features for grading

Penultimate lets professors write note to students.

Speak Notes and other apps let you record notes to students

E-reader usageMBA program at

Virginia Tech, every student gets an iPad
