Overview

iPad has started to appear in classrooms recently. Studies show that the tablet computer engages students in learning and improves student performance. On the other hand, Wikipedia attracts many attentions in education field as well despite of worries about credibility and reliability. Authors have developed a prototype of interactive Map-like Wikipedia Visualization in an earlier research project. In order to test the feasibility of such a new technology in classrooms, authors conducted an explorative study which combines the usage of iPad, Wikipedia and the visualization in a high school in Macau S.A.R. This paper presents the design of this study and the result authors observed.
