I’m excited to report that the University of Richmond’s Center for Teaching, Learning and technology has accepted my proposal to use iPads in my spring 2012 Principles of Economics course. Students will be issued school-owned iPads for use throughout the semester. This course is being presented to non-traditional students in the School of Professional and Continuing Studies. While there is a great deal of information regarding iPad use in K-12 and traditional-aged college classrooms, research is limited on non-traditional student iPad use. I am currently putting the finishing touches on the course and I will be sharing further information here over the next six months. Check in often and feel free to ask questions or to share your experience with iPad use in the classroom!
