Tablet PC's in Engineering and Computer Science Education  

Tablets are particularly well suited for:

  • full-expression note-taking (annotation, scribbles, diagrams, …and text); not limited to keyboards and alpha numeric information
  • collaboration and peer-review
  • the creation of after-class reference materials (your own notes, team notes, annotated faculty lectures…) enhanced, real-time feedback – going beyond multiple choice clickers to open ended, graphical responses that provide insights into students’ conceptual understanding
  • learning beyond the classroom – even in neighborhoods where English keyboards do not thrive
