About this article
This article includes information about the Tablet PC model available for faculty only. It is intended for faculty who participate in the e-Warrior Digital Life & Learning Program.
Why is there a Tablet PC option for faculty only?
The e-Warrior Digital Life & Learning Program has always offered students and employees a choice between a comparably-configured PC and Mac laptop. In 2004, we decided to offer as the PC option a Toshiba Portege M200 Tablet PC with a rotating screen and stylus. We saw the educational potential of the tablet platform and digital ink, but the idea was just a little ahead of its time and campus reaction to the convertible laptop was largely negative. While we switched back to a standard PC in 2005, we continued to offer a Tablet PC option to those faculty, particularly in the College of Science and Engineering, who really liked the convertible and its digital ink features for teaching purposes. Since then, we have expanded the e-Warrior Digital Life & Learning Program to include a handheld tablet in addition to a standard laptop, which provides everyone with a pen-sensitive surface. However, we continue to offer a Tablet PC for those instructors who prefer it over a standard laptop model.
