Davism1993 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Hi All, My name is Jason Davis from Sheffield Hallam University. I am currently writing a dissertation regarding tablets in education and I am currently writing a dissertation entitled: 'Investigation into the development of a framework to support schools in the process of selecting a Mobile Platform for tablets'. The framework is designed to aid schools in choosing the tablet platform that is best from them based on the schools needs. Please if possible fill in the following questionnaire, of which contains a link to the framework for your perusal: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1KSaBDGP4L4IiT2vE6u-GtFK5mGkH4akqCX3YJT1hlL4/viewform?usp=send_form Kind Regards Jason Davis
elsiegee40 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Looks interesting, I will spend some time reading you stuff! 1
ITBadger Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 An interesting read. I did note that deliverable two has a process repeated in the flow chart - "Will this replace teachers work laptops?" appears twice. I've completed your form, good luck with the ongoing thesis. 1
Davism1993 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Thanks to both of you who have replied. @daveleonard - Ill check over that now thank you, I should put a dyslexia not on the end. @daveleonard the section in question has now been updated. A silly mistake, it should have said 'Would you prefer a customisable display or a simplistic one?' Thanks for spotting this Regards Jason Edited February 17, 2015 by Davism1993
Marshall_IT Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Looking at deliverable 1 there are a couple of additions I'd make. Ios con, Apple ID age requirement of 13 Also, the latest android systems don't natively support flash like you say, but there is a browser for its , puffin education, which allows flash plugins to work and restricts the content the education sites only. Some of the other browsers that support flash do so by loading the website on a server and serving this back to the device, this can bypass filtering out in place. Taking the above statement into account you would need to alter deliverable 2. 1
digone52 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Hi Jason. I think that what you've done is great. At our school we have yet to go down the tablet route, but I think that your chart would be really valuable when we have to come up with a choice. I did try to fill in your questionnaire, but fell foul of the "Which device platform did the framework suggest for your school" bit, as you are forced to say what your school chose - which ours hasn't done. 1
Davism1993 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 Hi @digone52, The section "Which device platform did the framework suggest for your school", is in regards to the tablet platform which following the flowchart suggests you. If its the question; "If 'No' which device platform did your school choose?" that caused an issue I have just added an option for you to choose which is 'No tablets yet'. Im sorry this caused and issue it would be great if you could fil in the questionnaire again please as this would be brilliant feedback. Thanks again.
Davism1993 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Thank you too everyone who has responded to the questionnaire so far I will be taking the questionnaire down from receiving responses at 5pm GMT on Tuesday the 24th, so that I can conduct my analysis of the result. If you haven't already filled in the questionnaire, please do your feedback will be greatly appreciated and will help shape the future of this framework, which I plan on expanding upon in the future. Kind regards Jason Davis Edited February 19, 2015 by Davism1993
elsiegee40 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Unfortunately, it's half term this week and EduGeek is quite quiet. If you can hang out for replies until, say, Tuesday then I think you will get more. 1
Davism1993 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 Thank you, that makes sense, I've changed the closure date now to Tuesday the 24th at 5pm.
Davism1993 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Hi guys i'm just bumping this post up, please if you have time look through and answer the questionnaire in the first post. Thanks.
elsiegee40 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 One last bump from me to ask people to complete the survey in the opening post of this thread 1
Davism1993 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone whom have filled out my questionnaire.
