Number of Courses and Students Involved

iPad Project, Fall 2014

iPad Project Overview IT Services will continue our iPad program for the fall 2014 semester. For each course selected for the program, the College will provide an iPad (generation 3) to the instructor and each student in the course to keep for the entire semester. We’re looking to support courses in which students use iPads to enhance learning, both in and out of class. The goal of the program will be to assess the value and effectiveness of iPads in the classroom, and for student use.

Faculty and students who participate in the program will be asked to participate in online surveys and other assessment of the use and effectiveness of the iPads.

Number of Courses and Students Involved We anticipate supporting three courses each semester, utilizing 60 iPads total. We’ve not set a maximum course enrollment for the program, but given these limits, it is unlikely that we could support a course with an enrollment much above 20 students.

Proposal Review and Selection Proposals will be reviewed by IT Services, the Technology Advisory Committee, the Dean, and Division Chairs. We will notify the faculty of which proposals have been selected by the end of November.
