  • It can focus on building great software. The iPhone's revolution was its brilliant software which made using the phone a pleasure. (The iPhone's software serves as the base for the tablet, according to a report from Boy Genius Report.) It can get the user interface right. So far, tablet computer has either been a bad extension of an operating system built for a desktop computer, or has required an awkward input device, such as a stylus. Apple's multi-touch "gesture" based user interface may be a breakthrough. It can also redefine the tablet computing ecosystem. The Wall Street Journal reported a bunch of details about the tablet last week. The essence of the report: The tablet is supposed to be a new way to consume media, not just a touchscreen edition of your laptop. Apple can complement its hardware with digital movies, TV shows, magazines, books, music, games, third-party apps, and other media -- which prior tablets haven't done.

    This is another university using apps to connect the students to everything going on at their school.  This certain one is about Stanford's class teaching how to make an app and also is about the school app they have currently.  Very interesting!

    simSchool is a simulated classroom that supports rapid accumulation of a teacher's experience in analyzing student differences, adapting instruction to individual learning needs, gathering data about the impacts of instruction, and seeing the results of their teaching. This is a place where instructors can explore instructional strategies, examine classroom management techniques, and practice building relationships with students that will translate into increased learning. The results are highlighted below and are proved to be real and measurable.

  • But for ancillary materials—all of the research and items that go with the textbook—students prefer digital,"
  • Hall recalls this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where he had to meet with employees and be accessible to clients on the trade room floor. He had a case study to read, but an open laptop would have been rude and standoffish, he says.
  • Although students could take notes, highlight, and use a dictionary function, some said they were frustrated by the Kindle’s file management system and by an inability to easily skip back and forth between text and exhibits at the end. That’s a far bigger problem when dealing with dozens of case studies—which have numerous exhibits—than with a handful of text books.

  • Learning analytics promises to harness the power of advances in data mining, interpretation, and modeling to improve understandings of teaching and learning, and to tailor education to individual students more effectively. Still in its early stages, learning analytics responds to calls for accountability on campuses across the country, and leverages the vast amount of data produced by students in day-to-day academic activities. While learning analytics has already been used in admissions and fund-raising efforts on several campuses, “academic analytics” is just beginning to take shape
