Annotated and organised notes
“It’s a lot easier to carry around just the iPad. Keeps all my lectures and notes
well organised”
Group work collation and development
“In group work, discussing oedema and venous return with members of my
group. Using internet and Notability”
Student-made flashcards and
quizzes“Using the iPad to display lecture slides and workbooks in the lecture; using this information to make flashcards… right
there and then…”
Handwriting and drawing
“Make tracings of muscle anatomy … I learn anatomy by drawing it, as it really helps me to visualise how
everything fits together….”
Advantages of a flexible platform
• No built-in obsolescence
• Quizzing and polling apps - Nearpod, Socrative
• Use in group work sessions
• Students sharing work and ideas - Airdrop
• Facebook groups, iMessage
Flexible platform gives us leverage for new challenges
• Challenge 1: Feedback
• Challenge 2: E-Assessments
The Case for Electronic Assessments
• Examinations in smaller spaces than computer laboratories
• Online or offline
• Electronic examinations for detailed and fast feedback
