Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 - Industrial design education innovation

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet has supported the innovative teaching and learning stategies of the new Monash University Master of Industrial Design program in Suzhou China.

The light weight portable tablet is ideal for sketching demonstrations that bring the demonstration to the student at their workstation. The wifi cababilty allows the demonstration to be shared via large screen data projection or LCD screens in the studio.

Student engagement and learning is enhanced as the staff circulate whilst demonstrating and providing feedback on work in progress. The result is an enhanced studio workflow and higher productivity by students in class.

'The MADA Wacom Lab provides students with advanced individual workstations and the wifi Samsung tablets for each staff member allow students to work more productively' said Program Director Ian Wong.

The MADA Wacom Lab has been established at the Southeast University - Monash University Joint Graduate School (Suzhou) as a key laboritory for the Master of Industrial Design program.

Students are provided with a workstation that includes a Wacom Cintiq 22HD and a large screen HP monitor. This setup is state of the art for teaching and learning for industrial design and students were quick to take advantage of the resource as classes commenced this week.
