iPad Project
What is the iPad Project?
In the fall of 2011, the Office of the Provost provided funding for an iPad pilot project. Three faculty members had the opportunity to distribute a number of iPads to their students to use throughout the initial semester. As of Spring 2016, a total of 65 faculty have participated in this project.
Each semester, faculty may apply to participate in this project. The CTLT will email faculty each semester to inform them of how and when to apply to participate in this project. Participants in this project are asked to provide a formal presentation to all faculty the following semester.
Below is a video of the most current presentations describing how these faculty integrated iPads into their classrooms. Archived presentations from previous semesters are located at the right.

Fall 2011
This initial "pilot" group included three faculty. They presented their findings to campus the following semester.
- Ann George, Teaching and Leadership
- Irene Zegar, Chemistry
- Chris Huitt, Graphics and Imaging
Ann George - "Lessons Learned from the Use of i-Pad Technology to Meet Practicum Requirements"
The purpose of this presentation is to describe a pilot project that implemented i-Pad technology to achieve practicum requirements. During the Fall 2011 semester, seven practicum students were assigned University i-Pads that they used to complete assignments, instruct students, video lessons and participate in instructional coaching sessions. As a result of this project, many lessons were learned and these experiences will be shared with attendees. A simulated instructional coaching session, using face-time technology, will also be demonstrated along with examples of i-Pad, i-Pod and i-Phone touch apps that can be used for differentiating instruction.
Irene Zegar - iPads in the Chemistry Classroom
Chris Huitt - "Ipad Pilot Project: Connecting the Classroom"
Review of student experiences using the iPad in their university classes. 24 students were issued iPads for a semester and observed on how well they could use them in all of their classes. Discussion will be on the most beneficial apps and software for both viewing and creating content for the iPad. Survey results and overall observations discussed, along with future applications in the classroom.
