Enhance active learning; promote interaction; improve opportunities for collaboration.
Literature review – how are tablet PCs transforming the learning experience in higher education. Starting pool of 144 papers on the use of tablet PCs in education; papers were selected if they were in a university context; use of TPCs in the classroom; contained sufficient detail for current purposes.
38 papers used for the review.
Activities were classified using Chi’s 2009 taxonomy of learning activities.
| Chi’s def | Tablet def | |
| Interactive (dialoguing) | Involves “dialogue” with another person (peer, expert) or system – instructional dialogue; joint dialogue | Submissions (poll or slide) – instructional dialogue, formative feedback, joint dialogue – verbal or working on shared slide |
| Constructive | Output goes beyond what was presented – e.g. self-explanation, drawing concept maps, making predictions | Note taking with T’s annotations – individual worked examples, tracing, concept maps, creating graphs |
| Active | doing something – e.g. searching, underlining, copying, summarizing | Teacher making annotations, highlighting, copying |
Why introduce a tablet PC
- didactic to interactive teaching
- Specialist software
- flexibility/mobility
I need to get the slides from this talk – I got caught up listening and didn’t take good notes! ooops!
