- 24. Overall course evaluations 2012-2013: 50% use the Course App and iPad daily 90% found iPad to be ‘useful’ or ‘very useful’ part of the study pack 61% use the Course App more than Blackboard …even though Blackboard is required
- 25. Student comments: Being in the military I needed a course I could study literally anywhere. The innovation of Leicester in taking distance learning forward into the 21st Century made it an obvious choice. The course App is easily accessed, it is pre- structured and organised. I find it a logical progression and a great guide to complete a unit by using the course app. If it was not available I would use the blackboard as opposed to print, again as it easier to access view. I travel quite a lot for work making the use of Ipad ideal Course tutor’s comments: “…Absolutely fantastic. Aside from it being so intuitive, the way students can access materials, it’s just so lightweight; the amount of stuff they get, it doesn’t take up much room. “ “… In the field, they’re not going to take their laptop, they may not have access to computers… but they’ve got their iPad, so they can look at the material.”
