Description:
PDAs are showing up all over campus. Their use is becoming well established in schools of medicine, and applications in instruction and research continue to grow. As the devices become more powerful and wireless access becomes more prevalent, what impact will PDAs have in colleges and universities? Will these small devices become vital in education, or will they just serve as another distraction in the classroom?
