Student Attention vs. Time Attention 10 20 30 40 50 60 Time 4

What will the higher education classroom look like …    If all students have computational devices  Laptops, Tablets, Ultra light tablets, PDAs, Cell Phones, Gameboys . . .

If the devices are all connected If the devices are integrated into classroom instruction

Wide range of potential classroom applications         Presentation Demonstration Simulation Accessing external resources Note taking Feedback Active learning Peer communication

Classroom Technology Vision Classroom Pedagogy Student Centric Applications Sustainable Device Deployment

Classroom Presenter

Classroom Presenter      Distributed, Tablet PC Application Initial development, 2001-2002 at MSR Continuing development at UW Collaboration with Microsoft CP3 Released August 2007     Simple application   Ink Overlay on images Export PPT to image Real time ink broadcast UI Designed for use during presentation on tablet Presentation features    Instructor notes on slides Slide minimization White board

Key Classroom Presenter Scenarios    Presentation  Support digital ink for flexible presentations Distance Learning  Distributed display synchronized across sites Classroom Interaction  Students devices for active learning

Classroom Activity Mechanics    Construct slide deck for lesson including activities When activity reached in slides     Introduce activity Student work period Review Solutions Display Solutions to class Review results after class

Student Submission Pedagogy  Most important point   Understand pedagogical goal of classroom activities Anticipate responses  Have plan for use

Pedagogical goals      Discussion Artifact Collective Brainstorming Discovery Problem Introduction Challenge Problems

Discussion Artifact    Use student generated example to explore different aspects of a topic Assess overall understanding Diagnose misconceptions

Discovery Activity  Have students derive a concept from an example

Topological Sort  Given a set of tasks with precedence constraints, find a linear order of the tasks 321 322 401 142 143 341 326 421 370 431 378  Label vertices with integers 1, 2, . . ., n  If v precedes w, then l(v) < l(w)

Find a topological order for the following graph H A C E D G I J F K B L

Collective Brainstorm    Generate student ideas for discussion Build a list of ideas Analyze and evaluate responses
