📝 Abstract
Pen computing tools such as Tablet PC, Tablet Monitors and its various supporting software tool offer another dimension to enhance our today's digitally integrated and connected classroom learning environment. This paper first reviews the various state-of-the-art pen-computing hardware and software that have been applied in the classroom setting to introduce student-centric learning, collaboration and making annotations and designing classroom activities easier. We then propose a new classroom environment which is fully equipped with Tablet devices and the supporting software tools for the goals of 1) easy electronic ink annotations with least constraints; 2) enhanced active learning with timely feedback; 3) enhanced student collaborations and 4) lecture recording. The classroom has been put into practical teaching and learning environment as a pilot project in our higher learning environment. After overcoming the initial learning curves, the environment received positive feedbacks from the teaching faculties as well as from the students.💡 Deep Analysis
