Bringing iPads to the Classroom

The Active Learning Classroom

Do Students Understand?

Cheat-proof, Paperless Exams

Does It Work?Assessment1. Indirect

2. Direct

3. Pedagogy

4. Ethnography

“The in-class iPad assignments made sure you were paying attention.”

“I loved how it saved paper and space. All the information for my course was saved in one little iPad.“

“I was able to actively draw things in class which helped with my understanding of the material.“

Student Comments

“We could make notes on the instructor’s PowerPoint slides, which allowed us to get more out of the lectures.”

“The worst part was that I had to buy an iPad right after I’d purchased my Samsung tablet.”

Not Without Challenges

“The teacher didn't use the iPads. The lectures were not interactive. It was basically pointless to have one except for the tests.”

What Did Tablets Help Students Do?

Access course material more effectively - 78%

Study "on the go”- 72%

Engage more with the course material - 65%

Learn the material better - 63%

preparation, attitude

Challenges Thus Far• Tool, not a panacea – iPad use has to be

thoughtfully deployed and assessed• Faculty want time to redesign their

courses for effective tablet teaching and learning

• eTexts are fastest route to cost recovery but require time and raise questions about RTP

• Requires expanded wi-fi in the myCSUNtablet classrooms

Next Steps

• Expand classes in existing majors• Add two new majors• Expand faculty training and support• Continue with faculty incentives to develop more

eTexts • Explore options to become tablet-agnostic • Continue to focus on assessment
