|Provide a brief description of the technology requested*: |

|We are requesting iPads to use for the purpose of creating more iPads classes in our social work program. Currently, classes with multiple sections can offer one section as an iPad class, since students would be |

|required to provide their own iPad. However, classes with only one section offered cannot convert to an iPad section unless the program has iPads available to loan the students. Additionally, because the iPads will|

|switch hands and accidents happen, we are requesting the 3 year iCare agreement for each iPad. This is an additional $99 per iPad. However, this will be very cost effective should something accidently happen that|

|would require replacement of the iPad or parts. |

|Briefly describe how the technology will be used (function)*: |

|The iPads will be loaned out to students for the semester they are enrolled the iPad class. This will enable students to use highly engaging apps to enhance their learning in the classroom. It also enables |

|students to work together on projects and offers new ways for students to present their work to classes using the rooms with AppleTVs. Students will be required to purchase their own apps. This can be |

|accomplished by having the faculty member require an iTunes Gift Card for the class. They can purchase the gift card using their student loan money or financial aid in the same way they purchase books. The apps |

|used are very engaging enabling students to take a more active role in their education. |

|Provide a rationale that Tech Fee funds are appropriate for this request*: |

|The iPads will only be used by students enrolled in iPad classes and provides an opportunity to enhance learning through the use of multiple technologies. There are an ever increasing number of applications |

|available to support learning. Also, students will have access to other iTunesU courses providing access to additional materials to support learning. If everyone in the class has the same technology, it enables |

|the use of the technology to be smoother as well because the instructor won’t necessarily have to be familiar with PC laptops, Droid Tablets, MacBook, and iPads. This will equalize the access to materials. This |

|also supports an initiative within the university to advance student use of technology through the development of iPad classes. |

*Keep in mind that the committee members come from a variety of educational backgrounds and may not be familiar with department specific language. Please use concise, common terminology so that committee members reviewing this form will be able to fully understand the request.

• If you are submitting a request for computers, printers, scanners or software, you must consult with College Computing and the technology staff, to acquire a quote and to make sure that this equipment/software is supported by UT and compatible with existing technology.
