LIU began issuing iPads to all incomming students this semester and about 3,500 iPads were handed out. Now, the program is being expanded.
After a $100K investment in its wireless infrastructure, the University will be issuing iPads to all its students – not for free but at a discount resulting in a $250 price.
According to the article in Campus Technology:
The university said the program is designed to help students “connect with classmates, faculty members and advisers; organize, store and share files, assignments and presentations; access their academic and financial aid records; download digital books; take notes in class; and conduct research online.”
