A push by Ohio State University to enhance traditional classroom material with digital elements will benefit the general public as well.For example, OSU students — or anyone for that matter — soon will be able to watch short videos on climate change on an iPad and then use an app to manipulate 3-D molecules to see why some are greenhouse gases and others are not. OSU officials think that more than 90 percent of students own a laptop, smartphone or tablet — with many having all three. “They already have the tools, so why not use them to fully immerse the students in their studies in ways we’ve never done before?” said Michael Hofherr, OSU’s senior director for learning technology.
