“…Students perceive that faculty use of TPCs has improved their learning. 10 Both library and health sciences faculty now recognize that there is a significant learning curve for becoming comfortable with the TPC. Because of this learning curve and the time required to become proficient, librarians adjusted their approach to supporting faculty use of these devices.…”

As the result of taking on the management of a health sciences education building, librarians developed a leadership role and working partnership with health sciences faculty. Librarians identified the Tablet PC (TPC) as an innovative teaching tool and initiated a TPC pilot project with the goal of training librarians and faculty to effectively use this tool to update presentations and to deliver course content. A TPC class was developed and taught as a result of the pilot project. After two years of TPC utilization, an assessment of faculty use and student response

“…In educational environments IWBs are now being slowly replaced in popularity by Tablet PCs as they are more mobile, cost effective and versatile (Sheehy et al, 2005). Tablet PCs have also been shown to aid in collaboration and interaction between students and the teacher, as well as to promote interaction amongst and between students (Bonastre, Benavent & Belmonte, 2006;Berry & Hamilton, 2006). Laptops and mobile phones are rapidly being replaced by smartphones and Tablet PCs in organisations since the recent gain in momentum in the bring your own device (BYOD) movement by which employees take their personal mobile devices to work and use them to carry out their work activities (Technology Evaluation Centers, 2013).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate approaches (techniques and technologies) for the coordination of collaborative tasks using synchronous gesture manipulation. Business Process Modelling (BPM) tasks are often performed in teams of modellers who need to collaborate with each other in order to coordinate and integrate their individual contributions into the various process models in a co-located environment. These collaborative BPM tasks were used as a case study in order to develop the artifact (the BPM-Touch approach) as a proof of concept. The BPM-Touch approach allows for the coordination and collaboration of BPM tasks in co-located modelling teams using synchronous gesture manipulation approaches. The Design Science Research (DSR) methodology was used and several cycles of developing and evaluating the artifact took place. This paper reports on the last cycle and set of evaluations. The proposed approach was implemented in a BPM software package in order to provide empirical validation. Usability evaluations of the software were undertaken with both students and BPM professionals as participants. The empirical results of the evaluations revealed that the participants found the approach to be effective and rated the usability and satisfaction of the collaboration and gesture manipulation aspects of the software positively.

“…While that is not regarded as a feasible option at AUT at this time, the continuing development of technologies and reduction in costs may see this as an option in the future. There are a range of collaborative software tools that support the use of these tools and enable changes in approaches that further encourage student engagement [41].…”
