This session will focus on how academics at University of Huddersfield (UoH) are using their iPads for academic practices. It will also focus on the reported benefits and limitations of using the iPads for academic practices as well as provide a list of popular apps used for academic practices.

The findings are drawn from data gathered via an online survey which was completed by 84 academics as well as semi-structured interviews conducted with 22 colleagues.

This session will be of interest to academics and learning technologists using or planning to use iPads as well as other tablet devices.
