Updates on the research so far

| 2 Comments | 0 TrackBacks
This week we completed the third set of interviews with undergrads in technical writing. We'll be asking similar questions of the instructors in the pedagogy class next week. This round of interview questions involved students' reactions to the textbook on the eBooks environment, their writing habits on the iPad, and their general reactions at this point in the term.

We're recording these interviews, but probably won't get to transcribing them until the winter break, and won't really have complete data until the end of the spring, when we conduct this process again in Patricia's technical writing course and Stuart's graduate level courses next term.

My students have written many blog posts about their experiences with the iPads, and I'll try to write a post sharing some of their commentary within the next few days.

Are the students using some sort of tag that we can aggregate via PSU Voices?
