Led by Anne Nortcliffe (ACES) and Andrew Middleton (IPD) this workshop reflected on findings from a recent survey of academic staff (n.242 responses from 1410) and ACES students (n.174 responses from ~5000) who have registered their smart phones and tablets for use on campus. In both cases respondents reported moderate to high confidence in using their devices. Both reported using the personal technologies for organising themselves, communicating using a range of media, using and creating content independently and collaboratively, storing and sharing content. The workshop considered a range of 'Apps for Learning' and how they can enhance and transform teaching and learning.
