Bring Your Own Device Trial
Jun 30, 2015
The City of Leicester College ran a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trial with a Year 8 (aged 12-13) tutor group of 23 students. The scheme involved the students using iPad minis in lessons and at home – working with staff to investigate the ways in which the device could add value to the learning experience.
