The story so far

We received the equipment from HP towards the end of 2007 and our colleagues in ITS set about installing the UWE builds on them. We began using them in the classrooom in earnest at the beginning of semester 2 in 2008. To be honest, I think we were all rather nervous about it - so much could go wrong. The network might not work, the computers might not be reliable, the students might not like them, the RO might not be relevant in the classroom etc etc! But, all of these fears truned out to be unfounded. The computers have been fantastically reliable, the local wireless network has worked fine, the students have generally taken to the tablets very well and the RO has worked very well as an aid to learning in the classroom. Sure, we've had a few glitches and problems, but nothing major and, most importantly, nothing that has disrupted the classes.
