Developing an Interactive Learning Network Using Tablet PCs in Sophomore-Level Engineering Courses

DESCRIPTION

This study focuses on how Tablet PCs and wireless technology can be used 
during classroom instruction to create an Interactive Learning Network (ILN) that 
allows real-time student assessment and assistance. The ILN is designed to 
enhance the instructor’s ability to solicit active participation from all students 
during lectures, to conduct immediate and meaningful assessment of student 
learning, and to provide needed real-time feedback and assistance to maximize 
student learning.  This interactive classroom environment is created using wireless 
Tablet PCs and a software application, NetSupport School, that allows various 
levels of interactions between the instructor and the students during lectures, 
thereby enhancing the instructor’s ability to systematically monitor and control 
individual student progress, assess their understanding, and provide immediate 
feedback and assistance through the wireless network.  This study documents 
the positive effects of an ILN on performance and student engagement.
