Prof. Glenn Okun and Chief IT Officer Anand Padmanabhan on using the XanEdu iPad app at NYU Stern

Excerpt from Bloomberg Businessweek -- "Okun unsheathes the alternative: an iPad (AAPL) edition of the same course materials—a feature NYU introduced last year. In each digital case study, students can highlight material in fluorescent colors and take notes. A tap on the screen allows them to skip to an exhibit at the end of a document, and then follow the menu back to where they left off reading—with no virtual or actual page-leafing required. All the features work offline." Additional coverage appeared in US News.
