Welcome to the "eTools for Learning" Project

Clarion University of Pennsylvania
 
In Fall 2003 a select group of faculty at Clarion University participated in a pilot project in collaboration with Learning and Technology Center staff to examine handheld technologies in education. We hoped to provide valuable resources for faculty as they investigate the use of handheld technology in their curriculum.

An SRI International report (2002) found that "handhelds were seen as having positive effects on student learning, on teaching practices, and on the quality of learning activities."

Handheld technology promotes student collaboration and communication as well as inquiry-based activities. The eTools project will enable faculty to think about how these new technologies can be used and be able to design curriculum in collaboration with other faculty and instructional designers.
