Seminar in Information Science
Topic: iPad Implications and Applications
Fall 2010
Jeremy W. Kemp and Steve Sloan.
Description: Forward-looking libraries deliver innovative services through handheld devices. Apple Inc.'s iPad media appliance promises to deliver even more flexibility with eBooks, digital collections, textbooks and dynamic media from the iPhone/iTunes content ecosystem. And now children, teens and working adults access hundreds of thousands of mini-applications written by social media entrepreneurs. Is this a Kindle Killer? Will it sidetrack Adobe's Flash? Is Apple's device more accessible? Let's explore this together in a highly collaborative 10-week schedule. The first half teaches students about developing Web pages and interactive applications for the iPad -- based on existing iPhone and Touch coding techniques. The second portion tackles the e-book trend and implications for digital collections and the media. The class is team-taught by experts in new media, instructional design, Web 2.0 and scripting. It will feature custom-created podcasts and video lecture content. The class requires participation, two brief papers, two technical projects and a culminating presentation designed to meet several of the SLIS ePortfolio objectives. You will succeed and enjoy the class if you assume the posture of an active course co-facilitator rather than as a passive consumer of technical training.
