These presentations were a collaboration with Asmalina Saleh. The initial version of the talk was presented at the IU iConference 2011, where we briefly described some pilot activities that aimed to integrate the iPad into our graduate and undergraduate teaching as part of the IU iPad FLC. In the second, extended version of the talk which was presented as part of the iPad FLC workshop in May, 2011, we expand upon the framing of the activities, the activities themselves, and briefly discuss the various apps that we used as part of these experiments.

Jenna McWilliams, one of my students, is a HASTAC scholar this year. She is also deeply interested in openness and helped put together a HASTAC forum on the subject. Oh, and she also invited me to be a guest participant. So, I’m throwing my hat in the ring and offering my own special brand of thoughts on the subject by trying to change the nature of the conversation. Have a gander at the full conversation here. However, I figured I’d also cross-post my initial post here for any who are interested. Enjoy:
