iPad for Learning LAB:
We’ll be doing immediate testing on the “affordances” for learning that may be created by this new device. Jonathan Kayes (our CLO), Lauren Boughton (our Producer), Tom King (MASIE Fellow for ePubs), Erin Anderson (our recent college graduate editor) and Elliott Masie, will do a series of immediate experiments on the iPad. We are looking for affordances such as:
* Learning Apps: What might a $3 or $20 Learning App look like and accomplish?
* Media Shifts: How could one develop a module that deeply leverages multi-touch?
* Learner Expectations: What might devices such as these do to learner expectations for content and interaction?
* Marketplace Disruptions: What is the equivalent of the iTunes Song for 99 cents in learning?
* Missing Capabilities: Explores the role of video-conferencing, flash and other elements currently absent from the iPad.
Some of you are a bit hyper and will get your iPad tomorrow. Some are waiting. And, many are seeing too much hype and buzz. If you would like to follow and participate in our MASIE Center LAB tests and experiments, you can go to:

This is a free and vendor-neutral blog that will take a deep look at the Learning dimensions of the iPad. Feel free to add your thoughts, experiences and questions.
Yours in learning,
Elliott Masie

“Even though the iPad looks like an iPhone built for the supersize inhabitants of Pandora, its ambitions are as much about shrinking our laptops as about stretching our smartphones. Yes, the iPad is designed for reading, gaming, and media consumption. But it also represents an ambitious rethinking of how we use computers. No more files and folders, physical keyboards and mouses. Instead, the iPad offers a streamlined yet powerful intuitive experience that’s psychically in tune with our mobile, attention-challenged, super-connected new century. Instant-on power. Lightning-fast multitouch response. Native applications downloaded from a single source that simplifies purchases, organizes updates, and ensures security.”
From DSC:
From my perspective, the iPad will usher in more interactivity, more multimedia-based content, more end-user control, more choice about the type of media one consumes (even on the same article/topic), and the ability to quickly “drill down” more deeply into a topic.
