library and places him or her in an ‘on-site’ setting or situation
that enables close coordination and collaboration with
researchers or teaching faculty.”

“ In general, the iPad lends itself to collaboration in ways that a laptop doesn’t, which fosters a great deal of sharing. The pilot has also created an exploratory climate on campus—as teachers, students, and administrators learn at the same time how to use the iPad and what it will mean for their teaching and learning…When we all, students and teachers alike, ask these questions and become learners, we become real partners in this thing called education.”

”I think the most transformative part of the process is how the newness of the device created a climate where all of us were learning together — that created a more democratic learning process for our campus because everyone was thrust into the position of “learner.” It was like starting a new school in that sense. We have work to do and hurdles to deal with, but it will continue to be a collaborative learning process, and that’s the shift that has been most significant.”

Tips for Success
• Start with a pilot program and make changes based on an assessment of that program.
• All collaborators should have a clear understanding of each other’s roles and responsibilities; at the same time, be willing to adjust those roles and responsibilities in response to the needs of the learning community.
• Start small
