| Sumario: | Two professors at Kansas State University are supplying their students with top-of-the-range personal digital assistants, thanks to a grant provided by Hewlett-Packard. Physicists Dean Zollman and Sanjay Rebello have found that the communication tools boost classroom interaction and textually reinforce auditory information. Given that the system is Web based, the students can also use their own laptop computers or Web-enabled cell phones to participate in class. In addition, the professors can quiz students in real time, determining how effectively they are absorbing information and changing lesson pans accordingly.
