Piloted in 2006, the SDSM&T PC Program has evolved from a program of 25 pilot-users to its current all-student participation format. The evolution of the Tablet PC Program has depended heavily on student and faculty input. Many student-suggested solutions have been implemented into the Tablet PC Program.
Use of Tablet PCs, inside and outside the classroom has expanded the diversity of teaching methods used by many professors and given students greater active learning opportunities.
Tablet PCs offer the same features of a traditional laptop with the added convenience of a convertible screen. The Tablet screen pivots and folds down into an electronic notebook, virtually eliminating the need for paper class notes. Writing is done with a stylus. All data written on the screen can be captured and saved. Wireless internet connectivity is available across campus so students can be connected to the Web inside a classroom or outside in the quad. Most importantly, since Tablet PCs are leased to the student by the institution, SDSM&T is able to provide students with expensive software necessary for their course work.
All students attend an Orientation meeting at the beginning of each semester. During Orientation, incoming students receive their Tablet PCs, learn more about its features and are introduced to the technology services provided by SDSM&T.
The semester fees for leasing a Tablet PC are set by the South Dakota Board of Regents and are calculated into student tuition. The tablet fee for the Fall 2009 semester is $372.45 Register for a mandatory Tablet Orientation Session online.
