Implementing Wireless PDA Technology in the IT Curriculum - David R. Rawlinson and Kimberlee Bartel, Educause Quarterly
Requiring students in an introductory course to use PDAs taught the IT department how to implement them in the curriculum. Colleges and public universities must stay abreast of rapid changes in the application of information technology, typically on very limited budgets. Additionally, students increasingly expect faculty to apply bleeding-edge technology in the classroom and integrate it into the curriculum. This article briefly notes prevailing literature related to wireless technology use in the classroom (see the sidebar) and examines the processes and methods used to successfully integrate wireless personal digital assistant (PDA) networked technology into the IT curriculum at a public university.
