iPad Class-set Loan Program
The Collaborative Learning Center has a set of 20 iPad2s (16GB, WI-Fi-only) available for instructional use. Instructors interested in using the iPads need to submit a proposal describing how they and their students will use the iPads in support of a Yale College course. Preference will be given to proposals that involve regular, semester-long use of the tablets.
The successful applicant will be provided with pedagogical and technical support to assist with the development and implementation of the proposed activities. Purchasing assistance will also be provided for proposals requiring specialized iPad applications.
Successful applicants will be expected to participate in evaluating the iPad-supported activities and share the experience at an event in the spring.
To submit a proposal, please send an email to clc@yale.edu with the following information:
- Your name
- Course number and title in which the iPads would be used
- Semester in which the course will be offered
- Estimated number of students in the course
- A brief description of the proposed use of the iPads
