Nothing sinister about this – I’m curious. We have some iPads for teaching this year and I want to make the best use of them. The “hive mind” might think of more stuff than I.

I think that we *need* to look at tablets as a tool for teaching – just not only Ipads. I suspect that in the future students will be coming out of secondary school where they will have done a lot of their learning on tablets and that will be how they are used to learning…
agreed – it’s just we happen to have iPads at this stage. We have a small Samsung tablet but the elearning strategy here has been heavily Apple influenced, hence the iPads. As far as the library is concerned, we’d be prepared to be device agnostic, but many of the useful apps for libraries are still only available for iPad/iPhone.
There is literature out there on using tablets etc for teaching course content but most focus on the use of specific content based apps. My interest lies mainly in more general teaching uses based on the affordances of such devices like geolocation, photos, mobility etc etc.
