Kevin Kirk to Present at ACICS Annual Conference

TULSA, Okla. - Oct. 1, 2013 - PRLog -- The Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) today announced that Kevin Kirk will be presenting a breakout session, "iPad Mini Initiative Engages Both Faculty and Students", at the 3rd Annual ACICS Conference and Business Meeting.

Is a tablet truly an effective teaching and learning tool? Do faculty members feel more engaged when given an iPad for teaching? What are some measurements of the iPad's success as an instructional tool?

At one private career college, faculty received iPad Minis and numerous training sessions during a two month period before the tablets were issued to on-ground students. The required, introductory Career and Life Development (CLD) course was redesigned to heavily incorporate mobile technologies. Students were issued iPads at the start of the CLD course and the CLD instructors provided in-depth training for students.

"Learn.Connect.Refresh" is the third professional development conference to be presented by ACICS, the largest national accrediting organization of degree-granting institutions. The conference will focus on reinforcing the connections between educational quality, institutional effectiveness, and student success, and is open to all ACICS members and leaders of the postsecondary education sector.

"We are very excited to have Mr. Kirk present at the conference," states Jeanine Ford, Vice President of Administration at ACICS. "His presentation will be beneficial to our members and something to add to every education professional's institutional toolkit."

The conference will be held November 7-9, 2013 just outside Jacksonville, FL at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort and Spa.
