Article from February 2011:

Last month, Jon Landis, Development Executive from Apple, shared his iPad app recommendations for higher education with UD faculty and staff. We've highlighted a baker's dozen here. Even if you're not wielding an iPad, the list offers insight into the capabilities of the current field of tablet products.

  1. Annotate: Allows you to highlight, take notes, and mark-up PDF documents.

  2. Blausen Human Atlas: A dynamic medical atlas of the human body that contains 3-D images, medical information, and a cross-searching medical term glossary.

  3. Conference Pad: Allows one iPad (teacher) to control what images other iPads (students) in the room see. Each image is downloaded to the student's iPad.

  4. Dragon Dictation: An easy-to-use voice recognition application powered by Dragon NaturallySpeaking that allows you to speak and instantly see your text or email messages.

  5. DropBox: A Web and app-based service that allows file organization and access across all your electronic devices.

  6. Evernote: A cross platform program for note taking. Syncs notes with your phone, iPad, and computer and supports pictures, Web clips, and audio.

  7. Goodreader: Opens a large number of file formats for viewing. Great file management, searchable text, notes, highlighting, and full integration with DropBox.
