It’s been a few weeks since my last blog post, the advent of the summer holidays and the completion and submission of my PhD has been the immediate priority. More to come on my relief that my PhD is now done and dusted, just awaiting the viva date!
However today I wanted to write about something a little different. In this blog post I want to talk about my own anecdotal experiences on the key advantages and disadvantages of buying everyone in an organisation iPads.
A few years ago the Dean of the Business school purchased for every employee an iPad, which at the time was a significant investment. It was not an off the cuff purchase, there was a clear implementation plan and all staff were fully trained on how best to utilise the iPads as part of their workflow.During the implementation phase and just after the training phase I monitored the usage of 10 academic members of staff to try and understand how they have benefitted from using an iPad.
