DyKnow was used in engineering and thermodynamics with a Tablet PC to facilitate problem solving. Classes of 20, 10 machines, students working in pairs.
Students found that the tutors/teachers were more prepared using DyKnow, so the students felt more supported.
BUT… students didn’t really use the replay (but this was posted on blackboard and students didn’t have their own machines)
Students that used the tablets were happier with the learning, enjoyed the subject matter (thermodynamic) and overall student assessment results were significantly higher. (9 out of 25 tutorial groups used tablets, up to 20 students in a class)
Evaluation was done with PPI surveys, interviews with tutors and students.
