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.
