This document summarizes the largest iPad rollout at UWSCollege involving teachers and students. It discusses providing iPads to teachers in 2012 to familiarize them with apps for mobile learning. Based on student surveys about using technology, the college planned to rollout iPads to students in 2013. Learning pods with iPad charging stations were set up. While there were initial concerns about workload and sharing, the culture transformed. Students were given tips on using apps like Corkulous and GoSoapbox for engagement. An iPad film festival competition among student groups was a success. The future involves converting workbooks to iBooks and an innovation called Culture on Demand app.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Pathways feed into Bachelor Courses at first year and second year level
- UWS College- Fist Year Specialists- providing pathway programmes that feed into the University at first and second year levelmajority are local school leavers12% are internationals studentsfirst in their familyHigh levels of disadvantage
- Point 1: Over 50% are first in familyPoint 2: It has the largest number of students from lower socio-economic backgrounds of any university in AustraliaPoint 3: Representing over 150 nationalities (Western Sydney is one of the most diverse communities in the world)Point 4: 6.4% are from non-English speaking backgrounds, compared to 3.6% across the sector (maybe say UWS has double the sector average)
- Represents approx %450 growth in 5 years
- In 2012 UWSCollege Board embarked on developing an E Thinking Strategy
- UWSC was well positioned to lead the way in what a colleague of mine our Deputy Dean, Dr Greg Whateley refers to as B ManagementThe College surveyed staff and students and found that there was indeed a mandate to use technology to enhance learning.College took the extraordinary next step of rolling Ipads out to all teaching staff.
- Every teacher accepted the offerA pool of Ipads were allotted to Sessional Teachers who were able to articulate in a page how they would use it to enhance their teachingStaff trained in useful apps such as Nearpod, GoSoapBox, Explain everything and Prezi
- Scaffolding is mportant- break down lectures into main concepts/ideas/outcomes they need to know
- These ‘nuggets of gold’ give students an overview of what they need to know. A synopsis of key points in a lecture or tute and can be used for revision
- In October 2012 UWS announced that it would roll out Ipads to 13 000 first year students in 2013.One of the biggest and most ambitious rollouts ever- certainly the biggest in Australia
- Having already rolled out the Ipads to Staff- UWSCollege were well positioned to roll out the Ipads to students ahead of time in 2013.The University faced the challenge of issuing Ipads to their staff at the same time as students.UWS and UWSCollege undertake to dedicate 10% of learning space to ‘Learning Pods’Ipad Champions allowed the most innovative academics from both institutions to come together before semester one and discuss ideas on how to use Ipads in teaching
- We want to be able to run this strategy for as long as possible- significant investmentChallenge as this was halfway through our teaching semester- used time to orient students to changing culture
- Wanted to teach students group dynamics- using their Ipads. Also wanted to create a buzz around the UWS College Film Festival
- Innovation- Best lessons with Blended Learning- use of apps put on a repository for all to access. Prizes awarded to creator of lesson of the month
- Link App back to strategy- building cultural awareness for students through TEL
- 3 articles written by Dinesh Poorun and Dr Greg Whateley on the topic of Mlearning and Flipping the Classroom
