Dental Assisting iPad/Livetext Project Evaluation

October 21, 2013

• 
  Yes. I enjoying having the iPad. Livetext helps me identify what I need to improve on, with such quick access to my grades.
  
• 
  Yes, it is a pleasant bonus that I was unaware of when applying to the Dental Assisting Program.
  
• 
  Yes, it has definitely met my expectations because I have used it so much for many things in and out of the classroom.
  
• 
  Yes, the iPad meets my expectations. I enjoy using the iPad because it helps prepare me for class, lets me follow along with the instructor during lecture, study, and it has helped me work on my portfolio by taking pictures as I learn new things.
  
• 
  Yes. The use of the iPad meets my expectations. It is a big help in learning. The Livetext is easy to navigate and it gives us an idea of how we are doing in our classes.
  
• 
  Yes, for those who uses Livetext on a regular basis we know what grades we’re getting. iPad, I love it helps so much with homework and doing research in class
  
• 
  Yes! It has the latest software to ensure it works perfect. It has never froze, malfunction, and long battery life.
  
• 
  Yes, I am a new user to Livetext so I have some “getting used to” to do, but I do enjoy my iPad and Livetext for learning purposes.
  
• 
  Yes both the iPad & Livetext have met my expectations because having all the programs books on the iPad makes reading & studying so much easier to be able to always have all your books with you with one simple iPad.
  
• 
  Yes it does because I’ve never had and iPad or an account that I’m able to view my grades within minutes. Makes learning easier and convenient.
  
• 
  Yes, it has meet to my expectations. Livetext allows me to access my grading material (competencies) and keeps me updated in what has been completed and what needs to be done assignments.
  
• 
  Yes, the use of the iPad/Livetext exceeded my expectations.
  
• 
  Yes, it’s a big help especially the iPad. We don’t have to carry books because we have our iPad all the time.
  
• 
  
  

• 
  Yes, the iPad/Livetext has enhanced my learning because I am able to use my iPad during class. I can read my books, read the Powerpoints, view the rubrics for competencies, and take photos for my portfolio.
  
• 
  Yes, having an iPad makes lectures so much easier to follow along by going online and downloading the Powerpoint in which the instructor is going over that day!
  
• 
  Yes, it has improved my learning because I can follow along with my professor’s Powerpoints /lectures and my eBook is just a click away on my iPad.
  
• 
  It has made studying on-the-go a lot easier now that all of our textbooks are located in one light weight device.
  
• 
  The iPad has improved my learning because it is lightweight therefore we are able to do researches in class instead of carrying a laptop
  
• 
  The iPad has enhanced my learning by researching information when needed. Livetext I’m in the middle because I’ve only used it to look at my grades
  
• 
  Yes! We are able to follow along with the teacher, exchange notes easily with other students. We can pull up the syllabus or any other teaching aids
  
• 
  Both have definitely improved my experience as a student. I’m able to easily access my study materials whenever I want.
  
• 
  Yes both the iPad & Livetext has enhanced my learning because with the efficiently of having all your school information in one location makes learning so much easier and at your fingertips. Also being able to keep up to date with Livetext on grading to see what needs improvements is very helpful.
  
• 
  Yes because my books are always available and if the teachers make comments on my work I can read them and improve myself.
  
• 
  Yes it definitely does. The iPad alone allows me to access internet, email, Livetext, and my e-books where ever and whenever. As for Livetext, it allows me to view my grading assessment my instructors have given me at all times.
  
• 
  Yes, the iPad improved my learning style because I found it convenient to have access to all my e-books and to the internet when studying.
  
• 
  Yes, because having the iPad and Livetext makes it easier for me to use my books online and look up rubrics for a specific project on Livetext.
  

 What were the advantages of the iPad/Livetext project?

• 
  There are many advantages of the iPad/Livetext project such as being a portable study device, follow along in class, read textbooks, and view the rubrics so I understand what will be expected of me.
  
• 
  Learning new technology, and putting it to use every day, to improve my educational needs.
  
• 
  Advantages would include being able to get instant feedback after certain competencies in lab on Livetext, going through Powerpoints/lectures on the iPad in class, taking photos and videos for the program portfolio, airdropping files to classmates, having internet access in class for in class projects, and having the eBook on the iPad to look up during class as well.
  
• 
  I love e-books, access to the net, and Airdrop.
  
• 
  The advantages of the iPad is that it is lightweight, we can download our eBooks, download other apps that can help in our learning. Also, we do not have to share it with other students. The Livetext allows us to receive feedback from our instructors.
  
• 
  Advantages iPad: use it to take notes, research, take pictures for our portfolio
  
• 
  Advantages of Livetext: able to view competencies, grades, notes teacher’s telling us for certain assignments
  
• 
  We can take pictures to help with studying or projects
  
• 
  The immediate feedback I received from instructors soon after a competency or presentation. The iPad made all my reading and researching very easy.
  
• 
  The advantages of iPad/Livetext project are the ability of taking all your books with you. Wherever you go to be able to study and research projects right on the spot with the iPad. The advantage of Livetext is to get up to the moment progress in each class instead of finding out at the end of the year, when it’s too late.
  
• 
  Easy access to books and grades.
  
• 
  Internet access capabilities, emailing, airdrop (allows us to share pictures with our peers), take pictures for our end of the year dental assisting portfolio, and access our performance grading on Livetext.
  
• 
  iPad: portable, faster than a laptop, airdrop (easy file sharing among classmates), viewing digital content very fast, basically a computer that is fast and portable and convenient.
  
• 
  The advantage of having iPad and Livetext is that you have the two main things to improve my grades, study for exam and quizzes and look up the things I need to improve on by going to Livetext and see my grade on my homework and presentation.
  

 What information, features, programs, if any, would you like to see added to future iPad/Livetext projects?

• 
  For the Livetext I would have wanted to learn how to use the program much earlier in the school. There was a little confusion in the beginning.
  
• 
  It would be nice to have some kind of symbol or alert showing when a professor adds comments on Livetext.
  
• 
  Notifications when new items are uploaded/ available on Livetext.
  
• 
  A feature I would like to see added to future Livetext projects is a notification alerts that let us know if we receive a feedback from our instructors.
  
• 
  I did not like using Livetext. It would be nice if there was notification when a teacher left notes.
  
• 
  At this point, I am very impressed with all the programs and resources we were provided and have no other suggestions thus far.
  
• 
  Not sure yet, but know this is definitely been helping in my Dental program and since using this I see it has been an added tool for success at school. Now can’t imagine how people can do without this in school, it simply does add to your learning.
  
• 
  A notification on assignments that have comments from the teacher on Livetext. Instead of having to open up every single assessment.
  
• 
  I am not sure what else needs to be added in the future but keep up with the improvements; will be looking forward for them.
  
• 
  I would like to see an official Livetext app for all apple devices. Livetext: a more friendly organized User Interface design.
  
• 
  I would like for the iPads to have Microsoft word application.
  

 What could be improved in the iPad/Livetext project?

• 
  It’s great just the way it is!
  
• 
  I appreciate what we currently have and can’t think of any improvements.
  
• 
  It would be nice to have some kind of symbol or alert showing when a professor adds comments on Livetext.
  
• 
  Maybe by adding a tutorial in how to use the features when they are issued.
  
• 
  The Livetext would be improved by having a “grade book;” that shows our grade and progress in class.
  
• 
  It was nothing but useful
  
• 
  Nothing at the moment
  
• 
  It all has been working good for me so nothing as of yet
  
• 
  Nothing that I can think of.
  
• 
  Hopefully, on Livetext add a grading section to see where an individual stands overall.
  
• 
  iPad: perfect Livetext: more organized content and a mobile application.
  
• 
  In my opinion the iPad/Livetext project is such a big help and I can’t complain anything so far.
  

 Did you encounter any problem with your iPad? If so, please explain.

• 
  No (3)
  
• 
  No, I didn’t encounter any problems with the iPad.
  
• 
  No, I have not encountered any problems with my iPad.
  
• 
  I have never had/used much Apple products before, so it was just a matter of learning the system.
  
• 
  No, the iPad is great and definitely useful.
  
• 
  When looking in Laulima sometimes the Powerpoints or charts won’t show up
  
• 
  No, it has been perfect
  
• 
  I have not yet encountered any problems, and probably won’t.
  
• 
  No problems so far.
  
• 
  Sometimes the iPad glitches with certain programs but nonetheless it is sufficient.
  
• 
  None so far.
  

• 
  10!
  
• 
  I personally haven’t used the tech support but the tech support at the school and the speaker that came to the school were helpful.
  
• 
  I would give the tech support a very high rating.
  
• 
  10/10 (2)
  
• 
  From 1-10, one being least I would say an eight.
  
• 
  I have not had to use the tech support yet.
  
• 
  Good.
  
• 
  10/10, very helpful.
  
• 
  5/5 (2)
  
• 
  I would rate it 10
  

 Would you like to see the iPad/Livetext project continued next semester? Why or why not?

• 
  Yes, it is such a huge help within this program.
  
• 
  Yes, I like to continue the iPad/Livetext project next semester because it has had many benefits so far and I think it will help me continue to learn in my program.
  
• 
  Yes, the iPad has been such a great addition to the program because it allows us to access certain things in class, take photos and videos needed for the program, and the use of airdrop (sharing files) with my classmates. It is my first time using eBook and it is very convenient to have that stored on the iPad as well. We all feel very fortunate to have the iPads for this program because it has been very beneficial.
  
• 
  Yes, it has been a GREAT resource thus far.
  
• 
  Yes, because they will definitely help the future students of the program.
  
• 
  Yes, it helps a lot for our eBooks doing homework and projects
  
• 
  Yes! It would really help future students
  
• 
  Yes, I would. It allows me to access my Livetext courses and see my grades or progress
  
• 
  Yes, for sure this has been a great improvement in education and learning to be able to have access to your books as needed and to be able to research projects when needed. Keep up to date with your class through Livetext has been very beneficial.
  
• 
  Yes. Having the iPad makes it so much easier to access our books. Plus when we’re doing our work on the computer it’s easier to look at the iPad rather than switching tabs or continuously minimizing your work to read your textbook. And the screens are small on our computers to be reading the textbook. Another couple benefits of the iPad is, it is easy to take with you to read and you don’t need internet to access your textbooks.
  
• 
  Yes, it has been very helpful for me. Keeps me updated at all times with school and instructors.
  
• 
  Yes, because I find it more important in my daily life because I always use my iPad to do homework with.
  
•
