Increasing numbers of studies are starting to evaluate the usefulness of Tablet Personal Computer (PC) devices in teaching and instruction (Weitz et al., 2006, Hulls, 2005, Mock, 2004, Theys et al., 2005). In some instances Tablet PC use is combined with ot her mobile technologies (suc h as laptops ) to support classroom interactivity in computer science course s (Berque and Thede, 2006). This paper presents the results of one year of data collection and analysis undertaken by the School of Computing and Intelligent Systems, Faculty of Computing and Engineering, Magee Campus of the University of Ulster, Northern Ireland. This study investigated student and staff perc eptions of a Tablet PC initiative. The theoretical lens of situated learning theory (Lave and Wenger, 1991) is used to interpret these findings, which indicate that staff and student e ngagement in the School’s Tablet PC initiative has been generally positive, and enhanced teaching and learning both inside and outside of the classroom.
