This faculty learning community is designed to explore the potential for mobile technologies (iPads in particular) in college learning environments. This learning community has a three-fold purpose: To explore the possibilities of integrating iOS-based new media into the writing intensive college classroom by reviewing both trade materials and academic research on iPads in education; To explore practical possibilities for mobile technology in education by piloting instructor use of iPads to enhance engagement with students -- both in the classroom and for mobile office-work utilizing space around campus; To share findings with each other as a working group in brown bag sessions and with the larger community through a working group wiki.
