AB  -                         Tablet PCs in the College Classroom: Impact and IssuesAbstract: The proposed paper will present the results of the first semester implementation of usingtablet PCs and the Inksurvey software in a statistics course at the university. Inksurvey was designed inthe physics department at the university for use with tablet PCs and has the benefit of supportinganonymous student-teacher interaction during instruction. Using InkSurvey, an instructor can ask aquestion to which students may electronically respond. The instructor can then view the anonymousresponses and provide formative feedback during class. Prior researchers have found that colleges thatincorporate technology, such as tablet PCs in engineering and mathematics courses, have positiveresults in terms of student attitudes and learning. In the current investigation, the opposite was found.In this investigation, a pre and post attitude survey and a pre and post statistics concept inventory wasadministered to students in six sections of a probability and statistics course for engineers. Fiveinstructors taught the various sections using different approaches, all which included the tablet PCs andInksurvey. The various approaches will be described and compared in detail in the proposed paper.Across sections, the students’ attitudes became more negative towards statistics over the course of thesemester and, based on a statistics concept inventory, there was no evidence to support that theirunderstanding of the subject had improved. This paper will explore the many potential explanations forthese bleak results. These explanations include the nature of the content presented, a general negativeopinion of students’ with respect to statistics, an inadequate preparation in the use of the tablets andthe software itself for both the students and the instructors, and a general inexperience of theinstructors in using technology for instruction. Each of these factors is being considered and addressedin the implementation of a follow-up investigation which is currently underway.
