BREAKOUT SESSION
The Tablet PC and Digital Ink Technology as a Tool for
Teaching, Learning, and Research
Heidi Nickisch Duggan, M.A., and Barry G. Timms, Ph.D. The
ABSTRACT:
This breakout session
proposes to provide a forum for medical educators to gain a greater
understanding of and to share their experiences with the Tablet PC and digital
ink technology. Discussion will center on the use of the Tablet PC in a
wireless environment, as a teaching and learning tool, and its use in the
research environment.
The Tablet PC allows
for annotations and drawings directly onto imported documents (Word,
PowerPoint, etc.). These annotated documents can easily be saved as web archive
files and read using a browser or viewed on a desktop PC using the free Windows
Journal Viewer.
Microsoft OneNote, a
note-taking and management program, is exceptionally well-suited for the Tablet
PC; weíll discuss how it can benefit you and your students.
BENEFIT TO PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING SESSION:
This session will
provide participants with an introduction to the Tablet PC and digital ink
technology, and an opportunity to discuss how this updated technology can be
invaluable in teaching, learning, and research.
