Two face to face classes in S1: STA2300 (n 12) and MAT1008 (n 12) One external class in S2 (n = 20) Students volunteered Students signed an agreement Technical support Workshop on how to use the student tablet (face to face) An online discussion group set up for MAT class (S1 & 2) Just in time support Regular Journals (structured and unstructured) End of semester survey

MAT students in the TELL lab One 2 hour tutorial per week Students sent in journals Participant researchers sent in observations

One external course MAT1100 – Foundation Maths (n = 20) Students sent in journals at set times

 Being light & portable  Physical size of unit  Battery life  Internet Connectivity  Save paper “It has been very helpful as i have just had a baby so when sitting on the couch feeding i can put the tablet on my lap as well and do my work. I have also started to put the tablet in the nappy bag so it goes everywhere with me and therefore i can do some form of work on it at all times.”

“The touch screen games are AWESOME, i really like to chill out and amuse myself with them. =)”  Being able to annotate slides in the lecture  Note taking in journal  Recording what they are doing (potential)  Use PDF annotator  Save paper (digital writing)  Didn’t need to bring books along  Bling & entertainment factor

 Resistive screen  Screen size  Small stylus  Speed  Keyboard size & functionality  Hands on support  For external students – need a longer lead-in time “Also find that the keyboard is very small for my big fingers!” “I also find my writting is very hard to understand on the tablet. I normally have neat handwritting but I can not get the tablet to convey this.”

 Recording for learning (students)  Memory capabilities (electronic texts)  Classroom Collaboration software (on campus)  External collaborative interaction  Larger and faster netbooks or similar pen enabled technologies “I love this little laptop and I don’t want to have to give it back  ”

 Questions or Comments (time permitting)
