Abstract

The use of the iPad as a mobile learning tool in post-secondary set-tings with students with disabilities is an area still relatively unstudied. This research study investigates how 2 post-secondary students with disabilities participating in a university course, used iPads in their studies. The study examines: how students used the iPad; if the iPad, the course materials on the iPad, and the apps helped to support students in their course work; what issues arose and how they were addressed; and what kinds of supports the students needed to use this tool effectively in their studies.
