Can you briefly tell us about yourself and types of Distance Learning courses you are familiar with?

I have done a majority of my classes online, I have done all of my math courses up until this quarter, done all of my english classes, introduction to film, philosophy, poetry, accounting, and now I plan to take economy next. I am very familiar with distance learning and wish more classes were made available.

What are you most excited/impressed with when using the iPad and the Blackboard Mobile application?

I am most impressed with the order of things, like how easy it is to access my class, go to course material and look at my assignment and then go to my announcements with convenience and speed.

What do you hope to get out of this pilot?

I hope to gain an experience and to be apart of helping other students to be able to enjoy the same experience of convenience like for those who are always on the go and need to be able to access their classes in a few seconds. I hope we are able to make this application the best it can be by adding input from the user side and blackboard adding the new features that will help the student to have everything at their disposal that is necessary for their productivity and success academically.
