This page lists all of the applications used within the 2012-2014 tablet pilot projects. Applications are grouped into four categories: core applications, professional applications, departmental applications, course-specific applications.
Intended Audience
WSU instructors interested in past faculty experience with tablet devices in the classroom.
Overview
Many applications were tested during the pilot process. As nearly as possible, this is an exhaustive list of the applications that were used. This page does not include reviews of the applications themselves but does include links pages that describe the pilots that used each.
The applications are broken down into four categories:
Core applications include apps that are of general interest independent of the course or program area. There are specific categories of applications that fit into the core category including note-taking, calculator, productivity, audience-response, and ebook-reader apps.
Professional applications are of interest across several or all colleges but perhaps not to all students. This includes apps for movie editing, podcast creation, interview conductors, graphing calculators, and anatomy analysis.
Departmental applications are of specific interest to one college or department. This could include a drug-interaction app in nursing, a drawing app in art, or an assistive technology app for special education.
Course-specific applications are used only in a particular course or section. Examples of course-specific apps include a waterflow-analysis application for a watershed science course or an app containing paintings from the Louvre for an art appreciation class.
Following each application is a list of the course numbers corresponding to the pilots that employed it. Click on the course number to learn more about the pilot.
