Over the last few years HP has done a phenomenal job at encouraging the use of Tablet PCs in the classroom and supported school pilots thorugh a grant program. Jim Vanides is taking a open look at the initiative and on his blog has an invitation for those in academics to post suggestions. He writes:

I’m going to take a risk by posting the following invitation: Help me design a worldwide grant initiative for higher education.

As a college or university educator, your feedback is valuable to me. After all, the fundamental purpose of our grants is to increase student success, a goal we all have in common. HP’s approach is to support innovations in the effective use of technology that enable the transformation of teaching and learning.

This is, of course, easier said than done. Hence, the invitation.

I’m not asking you to fill out a complicated survey – just post a comment and share your thoughts about what a grant initiative needs to include in order for it to truly support your goal of improving teaching and learning on your campus.
