iPads for Academic Staff

The iPad initiative will assist academic staff in the delivery of learning and teaching as our curriculum evolves, and we continue to develop our Blended Learning Strategy.

All ongoing, permanent academic staff members are eligible to receive an iPad in 2013.

Distribution

We have a large number of iPads to distribute to staff across all UWS campuses so the rollout will be phased. It is expected that most iPads will be delivered by the start of Autumn session.

Deans, Deputy Deans and School Managers have been assisting with prioritising the distribution, including ensuring that staff teaching first year units receive their iPads as soon as possible.

The process for iPad collection varies between Schools. Eligible academic staff will be advised by their School Manager of the iPad collection point for their School.

iPad training

Initial staff iPad training was held in February.

Further training events will be held over the next few weeks and we will notify staff as training is scheduled. There will be a broad range of training options during the year, including a series of School or discipline-specific workshops between March and June.

In addition to face-to-face training, you can access a beginner's guide to using your iPad, as well as other blended learning resources at http://www.uws.edu.au/qilt
