iPad for every student?

1. iPad for every student? Tan Jieh Her (Desmond)

2. Agenda • What’s the problem here!? • Setting requirement • Stakeholders & their concern • Risk? • Technologies involve

3. What’s the problem here!? The dean of the school has expressed an interest in issuing every student with an iPad. He wants to have an iPad app to help every student manage all aspects of their courses, bills and payment with the school, and be able to access all textbooks, course materials and even perform assessments with their iPad. You would need to interview all of the key stakeholders (by their function) and briefly describe what concerns each may have. Also, list what key systems and technology infrastructure you believe will be involved.
