The latest is that OCU will also do iPads. As I understand it, they already issue iPhones to students now. They plan to issue iPads with the $477 cost being included in the tuition. If anything, the use of iPhones and iPads is a great way for the campus to keep students informed about situations. If a professor moves to another classroom, cancels a session, weather shutdown, or even a campus threat can be relayed to students better than any other system. OSU and most other schools have a program that students and employees log in their cell numbers and e-mail addresses. And a few years ago when I took a class, I was always getting e-mails with class updates and information. We were always getting handouts, but how easy it would be to get sent the handouts by e-mail to either read on the iPad, or print out.
