Does Digital Handwriting of Instructors Using the iPad Enhance Student Learning?

Transitioning to the “new normal” of learning in unpredictable times: pedagogical practices and learning performance in fully online flipped classrooms

“…It helps me develop a better understanding of the topic. Digital writing on an iPad can help learners see the progressive development of the subject content (Hulls 2005 ), and follow the instructor’s cognitive process better than pre-prepared PowerPoint presentations (Lee and Lim 2013 ). Writing on an iPad can also enable an instructor to immediately adjust his or her instruction in response to the students’ needs.…”

“…Writing on an iPad can also enable an instructor to immediately adjust his or her instruction in response to the students’ needs. Using digital writing can significantly improve students’ understanding of conceptual knowledge when compared to PowerPoint-based presentation lectures (Lee and Lim 2013 ). In addition to varying the presentation media, an instructor should also use different activities, including guest speakers, during the online class session.…”

The impact of an iPad-supported annotation and sharing technology on university students' learning

“…However, tablet computers have allowed for wider uptake of the screen-based input of touch or stylus, which supports handwritten annotations. Within education, handwritten digital annotation has been widely used in the delivery of materials such as that of the Khan Academy (https://www.khanacademy.org/) and also by instructors in live lecture delivery (Lee & Lim, 2013). The ability to digitally annotate any document and then share this document wirelessly has been found to be useful in teaching mathematics (Fister & McCarthy, 2008).…”

“…This aspect of handwriting is hard to be taught in an optimal and adapted way at the class level as the hand movement's analysis need to be investigated for all children. Several recent studies propose to tackle this problem by using graphical tablets that allow the display of additional visual information to provide adaptive feedback and instructions to the learners [26,38].…”
