Abstract

This chapter provides details of two educational research projects utilizing the iPad to engage students in the learning process. The iPad served either to provide access to deaf students in the classroom through video remote interpreting services or as a learning tool for interpreting students. The authors analysed data from two complementary qualitative studies. The first study examined the implementation of on-demand interpreting services, and the second study looked at interpreter training; both via iPad technology. The studies included data from spoken and signed languages in higher education in the United States and Australia. The findings reveal how technology can greatly influence the way in which trainers support learning in the classroom either by providing access to interpreters or by utilizing student-led, problem-based methods in interpreter education.
