Abstract

This paper describes the design approach adopted for creating authentic iPad activities for use in classroom settings with the aim of increasing student engagement. The challenge of this task was to also ensure equity for learners by designing learning activities that can be completed with or without an iPad. A pilot implementation of the learning design approach in a classroom setting was received favorably and this has led to plans for a formal study trialing a range of learning designs. In theory, the results indicate that iPads can be used successfully for engaging students in authentic digital creation activities related to the content they are studying. In practice, a sequential process for the development of these learning activities was needed for implementation. A five-step approach for adapting traditional learning designs to include iPad activities is outlined.
