Do you have a feeling your students might be doing something on their mobile devices during class other than sanctioned course activities? If you are tired of competing with the cell phones, iPads, and laptops, the solution might be to use them rather than fight them. Engage your students where they already are—on their devices—with LectureTools this summer and fall.
Try LectureTools at no cost to you or your students through the end of 2012. To find out more, go to the LectureTools instructor page, and to get started, follow the link on that page to Create an Account.
Free yourself from the confines of the podium computer and use an iPad to deliver your lectures. Learn how one professor did this in a free iBook.
For further instruction on how to use LectureTools and take part in the free trial, view this 15-minute video, register for an upcoming Webinar on July 10 or August 1, or contact the Digital Union at digitalunion@osu.edu.

What hardware do faculty and students need to have to use these lecture tools? thanks
Hi, Joel! I sent your question to Jason Aubrey of LectureTools, and he responded, “Instructors and students need either a laptop (with any of the following browsers: IE 9+, FireFox 4, Google Chrome 10+, or Safari), a cell phone with texting, a web-enabled smart-phone, an iPad, or windows tablet.” If you have other questions, or if you are interested in participating in this trial, please feel free to contact me directly (tornwall.2) or Jason Aubrey at support@lecturetools.com.
