Still with CADE: The authors presented the design and evaluation of this project involving the use of PDAs (specifically, IPAQs) to deliver accounting courses at Seneca College and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. Interesting - though not surprising - was the result that PDAs did not really improve student learning. Shocking was the fact that Bell would have (had they not sponsored the trial) charged each student an average of $13,000 in wireless connectivity fees for the course. Click on the 'pilot project' link for more info; results should be available on the site shortly.
