Revolutionary, this has changed the way I approach a class, I feel totally prepared as, I get the lecture slides without having to print them, take notes , record, reference and if necessary look things up, all in the palm of my hand... WOW University of Leeds University of Leeds 27. I really enjoyed the neuroanatomy practical class as I felt the use of iPads cleverly appealed to the students whilst allowing us to revise in a new and effective way Made finding information really easy - when you have a question and can't find the answer using the iPad you can find it yourself instead or leaving without knowing Neil Morris, University of Leeds; CC-BY-NC-SA Neil Morris, University of Leeds; CC-BY-NC-SA 28.

Students perceptions of changes in study habits Access to learning resources: Well Ive got the access to internet in lectures. I think the main thing Ive used it for is cos its portable and easy to carry around and stuff, so Ive always got access to you know the internet and VLE wherever I am, I dont have to get a computer. Accessibility is probably the main thing its changed. Organisation and time management: I feel more organised, like before I was always the person asking other people when assignments were due, but it took two minutes to set up and Ive found it really useful Ownership: I think I could get used to it but being aware that Id have to get it back, I dont want to get too used to it. It would be good if you were to actually get one for real. Then Id probably use it more. 32. Images University of Leeds; 33. Embracing openness CC 34. Cormier, D. (2010) What is a MOOC? YouTube.
