An observational study

2. Explore the role of education professionals on iPad®
3. Application use
4. Determine potential research needs
• the participants used iPads® and applications for a variety of
purposes
• there was considerable variability regarding whether or not the
application was used consistent with its intended function
• presence of an education professional and the type of application
impacted the variability in functional use of the application.
