Oklahoma State University to offer students in certain courses iPads

Business and media students enrolled in select courses at Oklahoma State Unviersity will receive iPads to use in the classroom this fall, OSU President Burns Hargis has announced.

“This pilot initiative will provide valuable insight into the research benefits of the Apple iPad in the classroom,” said Hargis in a news release.  “The iPad has had an amazing impact since it was introduced last April and we are excited to be able to put this powerful and creative tool in the hands of students and faculty and see what happens.”

There’s even talk that by doing this, the students will save money on textbooks.
