iDo or iDon't ‐ Using Tablets in the Classroom - Course Technology Computing Conference
Presenter: Lucy Parker, California State University, Northridge
myCSUNtablet Initiative is a partnership of California State University, Northridge and Apple, Inc. that seeks to reduce the cost and increase the quality of learning materials for students. Participating students will use iPads and gain immediate access to e-books and related e-learning materials in a suite of courses in select majors. Participating faculty will receive an iPad and help from professional course designers who understand the relation among effective teaching, creative use of authoring tools, and accessible design. Why CSUN? The academic plans and IT Vision@2015 have anticipated a widening deployment of portable devices and cloud technology for teaching and learning. Faculty already are using such strategies to engage students with different styles and paces for learning. CSUN students are urban commuters, tech-savvy, and on tight budgets. Portability, cost control, and media-enriched content that can be personalized are their common expectations. Why Apple? Many companies make tablets; several produce and solicit applications but few have thought as holistically as Apple. They are sensitive to users’ preferences and have created a system that integrates devices, applications, authoring tools, repositories, and consultation. We at CSUN can benefit from progressive, coherent thinking as we re-think course design and delivery. Why now? At CSUN, the largest college has issued iPads to the faculty, as have departments in other colleges. The device has become the industry standard in nearby K-12 and helping professions, with whom we place interns and graduates. And the governor signaled in the budget an interest in supporting technological solutions for persistent problems in access, cost, and completion in higher education. Finally, the surge in hybrid courses and e-books that our faculty author indicates that CSUN has reached a tipping point for strategic change. An iPad-centric curriculum also offers some exciting possibilities to transform information delivery as well as student participation. Like all pedagogy, it can be a positive and even progressive form of education. Or not, depending on how the actual curriculum is designed and implemented. Professors need to change their archaic views on attention spans and realize that students and society in general are integrating the digital world into the real world. For better or worse, it’s inevitable and professors need to play along. This lecture will discuss TOP (10-20) iPad uses in the classrooms but also discusses concerns on standards of teaching and learning and if low-cost faculty-generated etextbooks are a real match to top quality publisher generated traditional books/ebooks.

Students want more choice and flexibility, but technology moves so quickly. What can institutions do to offer the best possible student experience through technology whilst remaining relevant and cost-effective? Rather than investing in ‘the latest innovation’, a student engagement platform that continuously updates with the latest technology (such as voice activation digital assistants or AI) means you don’t have to back a single tool that could become outdated within a couple of years.
This interactive workshop discusses the links between students’ digital expectations vs reality and what universities and colleges are doing about it. There will be contributions from student experience directors, sharing their experience of creating the conditions necessary to enrich the digital lives of students through open, integrated and future-proof technologies.
Most importantly, please share your experiences and the strategies you’re employing or looking to employ to ensure you remain in touch with your current students and those thinking of studying with you.

Research Study: The Impact of iPads on Student Learningmatthewlipstein
Over the course of the 2012-2013 school year, research and data collection were conducted at St. Gabriel’s Catholic School in Austin, TX to gauge the impact on student learning with the introduction of iPads in Grades 2 through 5.
The Consortium on Chicago School Research (CCSR) conducted a recent analysis on the extent to which students in CPS are using technology for school and whether factors such as school culture and the use of technology by their teachers and principals contribute to this. CCSR has identified a number of key factors that influence students’ in-school technology use. In this CPS and CCSR joint session, we will explore the key findings from this study and provide concrete suggestions on how you, as a leader, can support and increase student’s in-school use of technology within your building.

How are students actually using technology? EMEA Online Symposium 2020Studiosity.com
At the EMEA Symposium 2020, Sarah Knight, Head of data and digital capability at Jisc, delivered a data-focused insight into how students are actually using technology in further and higher education. Here are some key findings:
- Office for Students predicts that over a million digitally skilled people will be needed by 2022 whilst 24% of HE students said they never worked online with others
- 70% of HE students agreed that digital skills were important for their chosen career but only 42% agreed that their course prepared them for the digital workplace
Here are the key recommendations that, now more than ever, can practically help your students:
- Raise awareness of the importance of digital skills
- Ensure they know what digital skills they need to have before they start and provide opportunities to develop these only online
- Encourage collaboration to emulate business practices
- Embed digital skills through curriculum design
This year's EMEA Studiosity Symposium was hosted online on 1st and 2nd April 2020.
Presentation discusses the challenges and opportunities that organisations are facing in moving to the next generation of eLearning. We discuss Social Learning & DIY in Part II.
Introducing the iTILT projects on IWB & Tablets in Language EducationTon Koenraad
Presentation for an iTILT workshop on the use of tablets and interactive classroom technologies presented at the Dutch annual Good Practice Day at Leiden University.
Tablets run the risk of being gimmicky or misused for the likes of Facebook without a well-structured learning activity that has a defined output. This activity needs to relate to the lecture/seminar and the output then needs to be fed back to the tutor/rest of the class to create a meaningful learning experience. This presentation shows seven ways that tablets can be used with free Apps or web-based resources to encourage engagement and interaction in teaching sessions. The screenshots use an Android tablet, but the Apps are also available on iPads.

Based on data form a range of ACODE Surveys over the last 12 months, and other industry data, there have been some distinct trends emerge that suggest that institutions are taking a fresh look at how they conduct teaching and assessment, longer term. Much of this has been predicated on what was necessary to deal with lock-down situations due to COVID-19, but more recently this has allowed institutions to consider the longer-term advantages in accommodating different forms of assessment, those that have traditionally fallen out of what was considered ‘normal’, most notably the ‘exam’. This shift in thinking has also extended to what institutions considering different forms of delivery of their core content, with there being a distinct shift away from what has been the mainstay for centuries, the ‘Lecture’. This shift has allowed for more authentic forms of delivery, ones based in more collaborative and active approaches. This presentation with provide a summary of some of the key data and share some examples of how some institutions are approaching the next few years, as uncertainty around the short-term future of in-person learning and teaching persists.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

iPad owners are six times more likely to be
wealthy, well-educated, power-hungry, over-
achieving, sophisticated, unkind and non-altruistic
30-50 year olds!
7. Why now?
• Largest colleges issued iPads to the faculty
• iPad is industry standard in nearby K-12
• Governor signaled in the budget an interest in
technological solutions for access, cost problems
• Surge in hybrid courses and e-books that faculty author
• CSUN has reached a tipping point for strategic change

accessibility
• App liaisons identified
for each program
25. Tools for the Collaborative Classroom
Nearpod
Learning Catalytics
Socrative
26. eTexts
• Can be Adopted, assembled or created
• 19 Faculty - converting print text into digital format
• 7 Faculty - creating eTexts from scratch
• Electronic versions are lower cost from publishers
• Creations are free or low cost
• Interactive, modular, multimedia
27. eTexts
• Three Tools used :
–iBooks Author
–Softchalk
–PDFs
• FTC work with Library to help faculty with
Copyright issues
• Some profs wish to make their work public for no
charge
28. Distribution of Apps
In Spring 2014, CSUN plans to test the newly
released Apple program whereby Apps can
be purchased by departments and
“loaned”, making it possible to take
advantage of volume purchasing.

practices
31. Direct Assessment:
Impact on student learning outcomes
Conducted by identifying “Signature Assignments”
Assignments carefully designed to identify the unique contribution of
iPads to student learning outcomes
Three courses were studied
Two in Biology and One in Journalism
•BIOL 106 - 97 students
•BIOL 106 - 112 students
37. There’s An App for That
App Category Examples
Collaborative newsroom Google Drive, Box
Audio and note taking WavePad, AudioNote,
Notability, Soundcloud
Social media Twitter, Facebook,
Instagram, Storify
Writing and story ideas Pages, Inspiration Lite
Video/photo Snapseed, iMovie, YouTube
Capture, Video Transfer
Plus, UStream, flickr
38. Journalism
TRADITIONAL
Students study examples of good
and bad paragraphs, then practice
writing and turn them in
iPad
Faculty used Nearpod App to push
out exemplary paragraphs;
students were then asked to
practice writing and editing
paragraphs on their iPads
Results:
Inconsistent and Insignificant
The quality of writing did not improve
systematically!
The Instructor noted a benefit of being
able to commandeer student’s attention
40. Use of iPads
Accessing the internet 94%
Take a quiz 92%
Visit a course in Moodle 90%
Use apps 84%
Process email 76%
Take pictures 76%
Take notes 75%
Take an exam 75%
Annotate slides 68%
Read an eText 66%
Watch a video 62%
Draw pictures 60%
41. Student attitudes towards iPads:
Instructor relied enough on the iPad in teaching the course to
make it worthwhile
75%
Apps Cost reasonable 75%
Happy with the way iPads were used in the course 61%
iPads should be adopted in teaching more broadly at CSUN 60%
iPad Help me save money in the long run 51%
42. Specific benefits of iPads
Use less paper 85%
Access course material more effectively 78%
Study “on the go” more 72%
Engage more with course material 65%
Learn the material better 63%
Improve my grades 58%
43. Variation by Instructors:
Instructors who used the iPad
extensively and for a variety of activities
received significantly
higher evaluations
from students than those
who used iPads for
one or two activities
52. Next Steps
1. Faculty to design more signature assignments
2. Faculty discovery of existing digital materials via Open Education
Resources
3. Faculty-authored eTexts
4. Faculty to Increase professional development
5. Faculty be allowed time to Redesign their courses & be up to speed
quickly
6. Holistic adoption of tablets, consider going DEVICE NEUTRAL
7. Funding for significant wireless enhancements

The results of the first two methods are shared here
Faculty taught a learning module (10 PP slides) without the iPad and gave a Quiz 1Then taught the same material without the iPad and gave a second Quiz 2Quiz 2 was similar but not identical to Quiz 1Student scores were compared using a paired t-testThe test was conducted in TWO sections- Oct 2013 Results: The average % on Quiz with Standard deviation increased by 20% in Section 1 and by 38% in Section
Faculty first evaluated baseline knowledgeTraditional: Static PP slides in class and in LMS. Students were not asked to take notes or draw.iPad: Used ipad as Whiteboard to draw process of mitosis. Students did same on their iPads and were asked to upload their pictures to Moodle. Faculty was teaching in an untethered classroom and was able to check in with students as they tried to figure it out.Results: Quiz after each method to assess student comprehension of the material.Non iPad case: 36% of students got the answer correctiPad Method: 92%
Take notes Answer polls & quizzes Draw diagrams in real-time & send them in Allows instructor to alter strategies on the flyCustomized teaching materials they made Record/edit lectures Create/deliver multimedia eTexts Utilize Apps that bring materials to life through interactivityReceive immediate feedbackInstructors can use the feedback to adjust instruction real-timeFree or low-cost Apps do not always work Trouble accommodating hundreds of studentsDigital books not always available or still costly
The challenge of the cost: how many textbooks have to be offset and for how long? How much do the tablets have to be used (and how) for the cost to be worth it?The problem with the publishers
CSUN students were to bear the cost of iPadsHigh expectations for value-addedResentment when have non-iPad devices or laptopsTime to learn Apple ecosystem of AppsFile-management & Cloud Storageintegration with LMSeTextsTeaching untetheredAdministering examsTools for collaborationSimultaneous use of ipads required increase in Wi-FiChanges were made in 3 classroomsEventually enabling students to go untetheredRequire significant investment and controls to avoid screen hijackingFaculty prefer untethered teachingRequires reconfiguration of wireless networks
Are Law Books upto this change? Some books will be around for a long time! Average student spends $200 per course for textsBreak even after THREE classeseBooks are $12-$15 but some $100 or more?If the Profs. design and furnish FREE course text
