Teaching teachers to teach with tablet PCs

Library faculty met weekly to learn and teach one another how to use TabletPCs and how to train faculty in their use in the new health sciences education building. The new health sciences education building at the University of Utah provides a modern, state of the art, student focused, teaching and learning center that integrates the most recent advances in information technology to improve teaching and information dissemination. Health sciences faculty early adopters each received a Tablet PC for teaching in their classes and met monthly for sharing and instruction sessions. Feedback from the pilot was used to develop a one-hour faculty-focused Tablet PC course ensuring health sciences faculty familiarity with technology in the new building.
