Resumen de “Old school” meets “new school”: Using books and tablets to improve information literacy and promote integrative learning among business students
Colin Mang, Natalya Brown, Linda Piper
This article discusses the use of Common Book and Tablet programs in post-secondary business education. We highlight methods by which each program enhances information literacy and integrative learning. We demonstrate how these programs can enhance students' communication and collaboration skills and enhance employability. We discuss classroom activities that both a Common Book and a Tablet can be used for as well as ways in which the programs offer mutual reinforcement to provide additional benefits during implementation. The article concludes with a discussion of obstacles to implementing either a Common Book or a Tablet program and methods to overcome those obstacles.
