New uses for the tablets

We're beginning to look at ways in which the tablet computers can be used to support other elements of the MScs in IT and Statistics, so that students can become more familiar with them when we begin the research methods curriculum work again in semester 2 (Feb 2009), and also to try them out for different aspects of the wider curriculum. For example, students can work together on creating work in the IT lessons, and then upload this to Sharepoint and continue collaboration both inside and outside the classroom. They will be using the tablets this semester for both IT and statistics curriculum work, so we'll keep this blog posted with comments, discussions and descriptions of the work.
