iPadding the Start of the Biology major

The Biology major switched over to requiring iPads in Fall 2013. iPads breakdown many past constraints. We can present material that is rich in color photographs, videos, interactive widgets, and even little games. In a lecture class, students can quickly upload images and be quizzed in real-time. Apps as well as widgets can be produced that make learning the material more visual and engaging. In addition, we are taking the opportunity to redesign so as (i) to make the information more up to date, (ii) to take full advantage of campus organisms, and (iii) to have the students learn via doing small projects.
