iPads

TLED has since expanded iPad use for both teaching and learning. Faculty can request classroom sets, apply for the iPad in the Classroom Fellowship, and access articles in the Teaching & Learning Knowledge Base.

How to check out iPads for your classroom

The Office of Academic Technology maintains a limited number of classroom sets of iPads for in-class projects, activities, or assessments. Sets are typically checked out for one class meeting and then returned. Extended checkouts may be considered case by case. Classroom sets are student-facing and come preloaded with Blackboard, Google Calendar, Google Chrome, Google Docs, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Slides, and LockDown Browser.

To request a classroom set, complete the faculty iPad classroom set request form. Submit requests at least seven business days before the devices are needed. After you submit the form, we will contact you within 24 hours (Monday–Friday, excluding weekends and holidays) to confirm and discuss your needs.

Apps

ACC provides a number of free apps for course use. A complete list is available here.

Premium (paid) apps may be requested as funding allows. If approved, TLED will purchase the app and make it available only to the requesting instructor’s section(s).

To request apps (free or paid) that are not already available, submit a request.

Apple coaching sessions

Faculty can book one-on-one sessions with an Apple Professional Learning Specialist—former educators who can help with instructional design and deeper learning experiences using Apple tools. These sessions are free. Email appleprofessionallearning@apple.com to get started.
