iPads, Twitter, Google Sites, and Next-Gen Distance Learning: Interactive Technologies for Active Student Engagement
Jude A. Higdon, Nichole M. Kulinski, Amy L. Pittenger, Christene M. Jolowsky


In this session, several projects utilizing collaborative tools will be described for experiential, classroom-based, and research applications, including an iPad evaluation, social networking, "next generation" student response technology, web-based collaborative writing tools and a range of distance learning strategies for engaging learners. Program will include active participation and panel discussion.


During this session, learners will:
• Identify ways in which our students found iPads helpful -- and not helpful -- to their learning activities
• Articulate ways in which social tools, in particular Twitter, may be used to help build scholarly community among students
• Learn about and engage with emerging, cloud-based, device-neutral student response systems such as ChimeIn
• Explore the use of web-building sites such as Google Sites as a way for health professional students to demonstrate content mastery
• Describe how collaborative writing with tools such as PB works can enhance learning
• Identify techniques for engaging distance learners

Inkling iPad Textbook

I was recently given the opportunity to review a chapter of the upcoming 8th edition of "Pharmacotherapy:  A Pathophysiologic Approach" on the Inkling platform for iPad.   I was quite impressed.


There is a video demonstration of Inkling on the iPad at All Things D.   


What do you think about the idea of students having textbooks on the iPad?   "Wave of the future" or "flash in the pan"?
