ABSTRACT

By bringing Tablet PCs, projectors, and software such as MessageGrid and Ubiquitous Presenter into both our Liberal Arts Math courses and our Calculus courses, instructors are able to communicate with more students during one class that they thought possible, and they are better able to gauge student understanding at the time it is being taught. Students normally reluctant to raise their hands now participate and results of small group problem-solving can be presented to the class efficiently. Electronic copies of this classroom interaction, as well as the class lectures, are available for review by students outside of the classroom.
