Titan Partnership – iPads Study:Final Report

The Titan Partnership piloted uses of iPads in four schools (10 iPads in each of two primary and two secondary schools) in 2012. The Titan Partnership provided training sessions for teachers involved in the pilot, prior to their main uses of the iPads, between May and December 2012. The Centre for Technology Enhanced Learning at Lancaster University was commissioned to evaluate this pilot, and this report presents evidence gathered, findings and conclusions.
