Our experience introducing iPads into medical education at the undergraduate level demonstrates significant augmentation over the traditional learning medium and manifests a digital platform enabling previously-unforeseen learning benefits. This study uses Puentedura’s SAMR model of technological intervention to describe and categorise these benefits, as well as to illustrate the pleasing successes possible through an experimental and innovative approach. Key words: SAMR model; mobile learning; feedback; formative assessment.

Tolman's notion of a cognitive map can describe the mental map a medical student creates as she learns the systems of the body (1). Traditional anatomy teaching includes studying bodies in the dissection room (DR), or studying photos and drawings. These are necessary but have limitations to support students' formation of an anatomical formative map. Our study examines whether and how

Long line of workers, 1st machinist, 2nd machinist, overlocker. All paid the same rate so if worked quicker could earn more money. Some jobs more skilled than others,, therefore 'bragging rights'. Pay was generally confidential and each employee argued their own corner ie. if new skills acquired. Union existed and were represented in the facory, most people were members, but they were not that strong. Not all factories has trade union reps. Women were not generally in the same jobs as men, usually there were clear divisions. Some asian men working as machinists towards the end of Corah. 9mins 10 secs

Using virtual reality (VR) to virtually experience encounters with patients, diagnostic discussion, interruptions, sounds, and all the pressures that occur in clinic before actually going into the clinic should provide richer and more effective learning than traditional methods of reading or hearing about clinical cases. VR-enriched learning may help medical students to empathise more with patients as well. This study will examine: 1) Are students who learn about a clinical case through virtual reality able to document a patient using the SOAP method better than a student who learns about the same clinical case through traditional methods of reading text? 2) Are students who learn about a clinical case through virtual reality able to react more empathetically and/or confidently than students who learn about the same case through traditional methods of reading text? The study involves 360-degree filming of mock-yet-authentic clinical scenarios and supplying these to 2nd year medical students to watch via Google Cardboard devices. Other 2nd year students will receive information via traditional text methods. All students will then participate in live simulation of a clinical scenario, asked to document the patient and also asked questions regarding their confidence in the situation and their empathy with the patient. Responses between the two groups will be compared.

It was decided to give first-year undergraduates a full-size iPad; this was repeated autumn 2014. Students were instructed to download pdf workbooks from the VLE (Blackboard), annotate using Notability & Dropbox, and bring the iPad to every session. Students responded by pioneering ways to capture, correlate, curate, research, share, and organise what they were learning. This action research explores students' use of iPads within theoretical frameworks of technology-enhanced learning, and proposes next steps to solve students' learning issues. Method: Online surveys were administered to approximately 240 1st years three times during 2013/14 (N= 125, 88, and 105 respectively) and twice in 2014/15 (N= 49 and 53) and longitudinal qualitative and quantitative data analysed. 114 messages and images were gathered through an email survey May 2014. Learning activities on iPad were grouped and mapped onto Laurillard's Conversational Framework of E-learning Technology (Laurillard, 2002). Focus group discussion was examined for fuller picture of pedagogical iPad use and synergies with other data. Learning issues arising from these are feeding into next academic year's plans as an iterative action research process. Results and discussion: While studying with iPads is very positively received, some students indicate preference for paper, difficulty typing and switching screens, and need for more guidance when iPads are issued. Plans for such guidance are underway including creation of staff-student tech-enhanced learning group, as well as enabling more personalised feedback from instructors and professional communication with practitioners in a community of practice (Wenger, 1998). Learning activities currently reported by students include:
