To enhance experiential learning aspects for undergraduate and graduate engineering students during class lectures, an Extended Classroom facility was developed to provide the same classroom experience for local and remote students, whereas all involved (teachers and students local and remote) could hear, see and otherwise interact with each other. In real time, all local and remote participants could annotate their personal versions of classroom activities, being recorded into searchable multimedia files that they could take home to review and modify. This feature was particularly useful for courses requiring students to remember elaborate software operation procedures that competed for their attention away from the actual engineering concepts being delivered. The instructor could also perform live demonstrations using remote networked equipment that served as brief activities to help students remember content. A Tablet PC was used as an electronic chalkboard within this environment to annotate PowerPoint slides and prepared text documents, as well as to create adhoc handwritten or drawn materials during reviews or consultations. This facility had been used to teach Java Programming, Systems Simulation and Applied Machine Vision courses with overall favorable assessments from students. Particular assessments about Tablet PC effectiveness are presented herein.
