iPod Proposal Goal: Have Post Bach students better prepared, more organized, and well connected the appropriate academic resources upon entering WSU School of Medicine in 2010. Objective(s): Use handheld technology to: -‐Teach time management skills to include prioritization, follow up, and task management; -‐Demonstrate performance indicators of the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) that include: creativity and innovation, communication and collaboration, technology operations and concepts, and critical thinking, problem solving and decision-‐making; -‐Direct students to appropriate academic resources for medical students; -‐Test the functionality of previous PDA resources with the iPod The Academic Skills Counselor will teach a time management class to the Post Bach students entering WSU SOM in 2010. The class is designed to incorporate handheld technology to enhance student productivity. Previously, the SOM previously had supplemental academic resources for PDAs. These resources have gone unused when a variety of companies stop making affordable PDAs in 2007. These resources have untapped potential for student success. This pilot program would also explore the functionality as well as the conversion of those PDA supplements with the iPod. Students will be given iPods with a $50 iTunes gift card to load a specific list of educational productivity tools related to medical education. Students will use the iPod in the time management skills. In addition, students will also learn how to use the educational productivity tools. Resources Needed: 15 iPods-‐32G 3rd Generation $4,485 ($299 x 15) 15 iTunes Gift Cards $ 750 ($50 x 15) $5,235

Student iPod touch Project The School of Medicine has committed to exploring the use of mobile devices to enhance teaching and learning. As our “Early Student Adopter” group, your willingness to explore and share your experiences using the iPod touch is essential to the success of this project. The primary purpose of this iPod is to enhance your productivity and time management skills. My signature below indicates that: •

• • •

I understand that this iPod is Wayne State University property and for my use while a student in the Post Baccalaureate Program and as such will use this device in a responsible manner and in accordance with University policies. I will not sell, rent, or trade the iPod. If lost or stolen, the SOM will not be responsible for replacing the iPod. I will take appropriate steps to protect the iPod and data against loss or theft, including but not limited to the following: I will not leave the iPod in any public place; I will not leave the iPod in my car, unless the car is locked and the iPod is hidden from view; I will not check the iPod in luggage. I will protect the data on the iPod with a password and will follow all other security requirements. I agree to fully participate in collaborative activities that promote the exploration of iPod usage for research and learning including posting presentations on VoiceThread. I understand that the School of Medicine will be evaluating the use of the iPod and other mobile devices for the purposes of improving the educational program. I will participate in this evaluation.
