Tablet computers have the potential to transform the college classroom, whether in Communication Studies or any of a variety of academic disciplines. We propose a pilot section of Introduction to Communication (COMM 1306) that tests the effectiveness of iPads as the primary tool for classroom pedagogy and administration.

 This proposal encompasses the following:

 Course: COMM 1306.01 – Introduction to Communication

 Semester: Summer II, 2012

 Enrollment: 10

 Faculty: 1

 Equipment: 11 iPads (iPad 2 model, with apps)
