The use of tablet and related technologies in mathematics teaching

Abstract

This paper details some of the ways Tablet PCs and related technologies have been used to foster good teaching and effective learning for students in the early years of university study independent of whether they are in large groups, small groups, in individual consultation situations, in classes or remote from a teacher in distance learning situations. It will focus on the teaching of one-to-many, one-to-few and one-to one, addressing 'stuck places' and online synchronous teaching drawing on investigations and research conducted by the authors since 2004.
