Abstract

Tablet PC's have several unique features that lend themselves nicely to the academic environment-both for faculty use and for student use. Faculty in the College of Technology at the University of Houston have used Tablet PC's (TPCs) for the past year. This paper will describe those experiences and the possibilities they provide for new ways of teaching and learning.
