Deploying iPads as Exploratory Learning Devices - Sponsored by Apple and furniture provided by Herman Miller, An EDUCAUSE Silver Partner

The advent of the iPad, with its unique computing format, has stirred faculty excitement and interest in mobile computing on our campus, and we have been encouraging faculty to experiment with iPads as learning and productivity devices. We will describe our experiences supporting short-term and semester-long iPad loaner programs for faculty and students in varied disciplines, building a campus-wide user community focused on iPads in teaching, managing iPad loaner program logistics, and evaluating the impact of iPads on teaching and learning. Attendees will be able to try out some common teaching activities on an iPad during the session.
