"Students were especially anxious to attend class and to be personally involved with the magic of technology. They rooted as a group for class answers to be 100 percent correct and were especially delighted to observe their presentations on screen at an instant," Coleman said.
Coleman anticipates the opportunity to provide tablet PCs as learning tools for students. He believes that the "instant replay" feature is key because it forces a student to practice the conceptualization of the problem before coming to class.
"Many of my students tell me that CPR-L has helped them understand chemistry in a new way," Coleman said. "In high school, some of the teachers show the kids shortcuts to solving the problems. They show them how to pass tests, but they don't always ensure that the students actually have a full understanding of the concepts."
Dr. Clyde Montgomery, acting vice president of academic affairs, is proud that a Langston faculty member has created such a beneficial program. He said he sees application opportunities for CPR-L as limitless for any discipline, since students might be given "instant replay" assignments that involve sentence construction and vocabulary building to support communications skills building, as well as sketches or artistic inserts that involve movie clips that can be used to develop and enhance presentations.
