World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education, in Montréal, Quebec, Canada ISBN 978-1-880094-98-3 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Chesapeake, VA Abstract While there are augments on whether or not iPad should be adopted in higher education (Murray & Olcese, 2011), several research indicated using iPad to improve reading skills (McClanahan, et al, 2012) , to promote collaborative learning in the classroom (Ron, 2012); and to support faculty teaching in higher education (Venable, 2012).
Essay on use of iPad by academics. If there is anything that I have learned in the course of using an iPad, it is how much I love my computer.
Two years ago I wrote a column for Inside Higher Ed entitled “The iPad for Academics.” Now, two years and two new models of iPad later, it seems time to revisit some of that original column: How well does it stand up, how did my predictions turn out, and what have I learned since then? The answers are, roughly, "good" "O.K. " and "a lot. " When I wrote my column, no one was sure what the future held for the iPad, and there was serious skepticism about the more apocalyptic predictions. In fact, somewhat boringly, Apple's release of the iPad did what most Apple products do -- change the world, sell millions of units, and alter our information ecosystem irrevocably -- but it didn’t end the world. In the two years that I’ve had the device, it has indeed become indispensable to me. But it’s not a laptop, and it never will be. And then there’s the interface. Study Finds Benefits in Use of iPad as an Educational Tool.
Thanks to Simon Thomas of 9ine Consulting, who reached out last week to share this exciting report. 9ine Consulting worked with NAACE (a.k.a.
“the ICT Association”) to produce this study. The study looks at the use of iPads at the Longfield Academy, where a large scale 1 to 1 iPad program was implemented last year. A brief overview of this groundbreaking study is provided below. Some Background Longfield Academy in Kent, England is a recently built school covering years 7 through 13 (ages 11 to 18). At Longfield, they strive to provide a cutting edge learning experience incorporating a high level of technology integration in the curriculum. The implementation was driven by an iLearning Group led by the school’s Principal and comprised of a group with “a range of responsibilities, experience and confidence [with the technology]”.
The full study report can be found here. Below are a couple of slides that shed light on how the iPads where being utilized in the academic setting. Burton-teaching-ppt. Watson. Lewis-pybus-ppt.

Primary UITS contact: John Gosney Last update: May 1, 2012 Description: The primary goal of a faculty learning community (FLC) is to explore a specific topic area or theme as it relates to best practices in teaching and learning.
This goal is achieved by providing safe, supportive communities wherein members can engage in research, scholarship of teaching and learning, and service to explore new approaches to teaching. Faculty learning communities will convene during the fall 2010 semester on both the IUB and IUPUI campuses to explore innovative uses of the Apple iPad to address these diverse goals. Outcome: This FLC includes a specific focus on how mobile tablets, specifically the Apple iPad, can enhance teaching and learning across a wide variety of disciplines/areas of interest. An Educause Learning Initiative (ELI) brief, describing the work of all three faculty learning communities, has been published.
Milestones and status: Examples of early projects on the IUB campus include: E.J. Articles about Pepperdine's iPad Study. Technology and Learning. In 2010, Pepperdine University's Information Technology staff members worked with Pepperdine faculty to assess the effectiveness of the iPad as a learning tool.
Exploratory research began in fall 2010, and continued in spring 2011 and ended with an quasi-experiemental design in fall 2011. The study compared student learning outcomes in the control and experiment sections for each course. The iPad research team reviewed feedback from faculty and students involved in the study and assessed the impact the iPad has on learning. The research team worked to answer two specific questions: Do the iPads have the potential to enhance students' performance on course learning objectives?
