Using Tablet PCs and Pen-Based Technologies to Support Engineering Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several experiences and results of the Tablet PC adoption have been reported, mainly in American universities. Although the benefits seem to be highly interesting, it is not clear if they are replicable in developing countries. In order to try to understand the impact of Tablet PCs on engineering education in Chile, the authors conducted several experiments at the two traditional Chilean universities. This paper reports the experiences and the obtained results, comparing them with those obtained in American universities.

متن کاملCreating a participatory learning environment in large lecture classes using pen-based computing
Although large lectures are a reality of formal learning organizations, particularly in nation’s research universities, limited research looks at how we can improve learning within them. Most learning sciences research focuses on small or medium classes or informal learning leaving a gap in our understanding of learning related issues in large lectures. In this paper we present a theoretical in...
