The Graduate Program in Life
Sciences (GPILS) in partnership with the University of Maryland, Baltimore
Graduate School is announcing a two year pilot program which will provide all
incoming, full-time, GPILS PhD students that are to enroll in the GPILS Core
course with an iPad. Current GPILS
students access their course readings, lecture outlines, PowerPoint files and
supplemental lecture materials from a Blackboard site in advance of their in
class meetings. Within a few hours of
the conclusion of a lecture, students are able to access both video and audio
recordings of the lecture via GPILS’ iTunes University website. These practices, paired with our desire to
promote greater use of e-resources, discussion boards, in class, anonymous
polling to assess our students’ understanding of topics in real-time, the
growing availability of e-books, and a wealth of relevant “apps” made the
determination to expand into mobile devices.
