Innovations in Engineering Education using Tablet PCs - Panel Discussion with Four Institutions

Abstract

This panel discussion will highlight emerging best practices in the use of Tablet PCs to transform learning and teaching in college and university engineering and computer science related courses. Faculty from four institutions will share their experience in redesigning a key course to improve student outcomes, and demonstrate how their innovative use of Tablet PCs has enabled new approaches to collaboration and real-time feedback, improving student achievement and engagement. Through this session, the audience will become participants and experience first-hand how classroom interactions are being redesigned and more learner-centric through the effective use of technology. Presenters will engage the audience by modeling the technology-enabled pedagogy being implemented in their classrooms.
