“For us, it was an alternative to touch-boards. We’re able to replace a $2,000 projector and board with an iPad and software,” said Phil Harding, Technology Integration Coordinator.
The move to 1:1 initiatives was captured by a Campus Technology article titled ‘Standardization Is a Driving Factor Behind Goshen College’s 1:1 iPad Initiative’. Goshen College embarked on a 1:1 iPad initiative and was the perfect launch pad to stimulate innovation in the classroom and broader curriculum.
“We believe that technology is a strategic tool for improving the way we teach, learn, deliver services, and operate the college. And Splashtop Enterprise gives our professors the best user experience”, said Michael Sherer, Director of IT Services.
