Reengineering Education

23. The key message from me is…….
Institutions, policy makers and educators alike must
understand the difference between acknowledging the
existence of tablets, and actively designing and
implementing an educational environment that can
benefit from maximising their usage. Just because the
institution down the road bought some is never
justification for your institution to follow the same route
and implement the same model using the same devices.
