From June 9-12, ITS team members will put on four presentations at the CANHEIT 2013 conference, which promotes Exceptional Ideas in higher education IT (click here for a full introduction). Each week in anticipation, we will give you a sneak peek of what’s to come from our great presenters!
On Monday, June 10th, Ben Schmidt, Melissa Manocchio and Charlotte Bradley will team up to tackle the use of iPhones and iPads in the workplace. The presentation will focus on the benefits, challenges, and solutions towards using tablets and smartphones as productive work tools. From the CANHEIT 2013 program:
When provided with iPads, we have found many staff members challenged in leveraging their PC experience to the productive use of post-PC devices. Where are the cursor keys? Do I need a stylus? How do I copy & paste? Where are my files? How do I edit Word documents? What apps are missing and how do I get them? Can I connect to a projector? How do I print? etc…
In this presentation, we share our experiences with a low-cost, high-touch “iPads in the Workplace” support model.
We’d love to tell you all about the presentation, but to find out more, you’ll have to attend the conference! Visit the CANHEIT 2013 website to register for full attendance or virtual attendance.
