"2835","Wireless Handheld Computers in the Preclinical Undergraduate Curriculum"," This report presents the results of a pilot project using wireless PDAs as teaching tools in an undergraduate medical curriculum. This technology was used to foster a transition from a passive to an interactive learning environment in the classroom and provided a solution for the implementation of computer-based exams for a large class. Wayne State Medical School recently provided model e570 Toshiba PocketPCs® (personal digital assistants or PDAs), network interface cards, and application software developed by CampusMobility® to 20 sophomore medical students. The pilot group of preclinical students used the PDAs to access web-based course content, for communication, scheduling, to participate in interactive teaching sessions, and to complete course evaluations. Another part of this pilot has been to utilize the PDAs for computer-based exams in a wireless environment. Server authentication that restricted access during the exams and a proctoring console to monitor and record the PDA screens will be described in this report. Results of a student satisfaction survey will be presente","http://cogprints.org/2835/","Ganger BS, Anand C. and Jackson Ph.D., Matt","UNSPECIFIED","       <span class=\"person_name\">Ganger BS,  Anand C.</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Jackson Ph.D., Matt</span>     (2003)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/2835/\"><em>Wireless Handheld Computers in the Preclinical Undergraduate Curriculum.</em></a>       [Journal (On-line/Unpaginated)]           ","","2003-02"
