Notes
- "Spring 2005."
- "This volume of New Directions for Teaching and Learning is the first major publication on teaching with laptops in the classroom. Its primary purpose is to show that university instructors make pedagogically productive and novel use of laptops in the classroom. As the chapters illustrate, laptops indeed offer rich new opportunities to make classes more student-active, thereby enhancing student engagement and learning. Moreover, these benefits can accrue without compromising the quality of student- instructor interaction or increasing the student workload." "This volume also has timely secondary purpose: to advise institutional leaders on how to make a laptop mandate successful at their university. Some of the more creative and effective laptop faculty are showcased in this volume. They address not only positive outcomes for student attitudes and learning but also the challenges, glitches, and extra energy required in teaching with laptops."–BOOK JACKET
