Abstract
This action theory research study examines a faculty perspective on iPads used in one-on-one strategic support sessions for adult students with disabilities at a Western Canadian College. Each academic strategist was provided an iPad to use during the study. Weekly collaborative sessions supported the exploration of apps for strategic support for students with disabilities. Qualitative data was collected from seven academic strategists over a three-month period using reflective practice, and weekly sessions. Carr and Kemmis (1986) describe action research as being about the improvement of best practices, of understanding and of knowledge. This brief paper will confirm the importance of identifying the purpose of the technology prior to applying a tool or app for strategic supports. Based on informed best practices, professional reflections will be shared about the apps identified and the strategies applied for using an iPad as an assistive technology.
