Abstract

In this paper we present our experience using tablet PC to support the pedagogical needs of the engineering classroom as well as typical engineering group collaborative environments. We applied this novel active and collaborative learning framework to undergraduate students from a fundamental database course in order to analyze the role of pedagogical use of tablet PC. Then, this educational test was satisfactorily received by students and conclusions deal with getting student assessment about their experiences in this experimental course and promoting use of next-generation pedagogical collaborative learning applications using tablet PC as a presentation
