”[…] benefits of iPad use in military training, and any learning experience for that matter, is a decrease in the amount of classroom time required when using the right app for the situation, decreases in costs associated with publishing training materials, and the mobility the iPad offers can transfer learning to any environment.”
Engaging students behind enemy lines, it’s great to see the iPad making waves in education. As colleges begin adopting the device too, I wonder if student performance will see similar increases in the classroom?
