| Research Abstract |
As an approach to utilize tablet computers for education, iPad application software and video learning system for specific engineering education have been developed in this research. Three prototypes of application software have been developed; 1) word-match exercise, 2) grammar learning, and 3) teaching material development software for iPad. In addition, 43 video programs have been produced and they are published on the website. Some of them are also produced as digital textbooks. The results of a questionnaire survey given to students shows that making and using digital textbooks and application software has to some extent efficacy in terms of interactivity. On the other hand, its plausibility is questionable considering its cost and time efficiency at this point. Further research, software evaluation and implementation needs to be explored.
