Assumption College Warwick is a co-educational Catholic secondary school in Queensland, Australia. In 2018, the college replaced their previous iPad case solution with the Brydge 9.7 keyboard and Otterbox uniVERSE case.
Background
- Assumption College felt they weren't getting the most out of the iPads in their classrooms
- Students were hunched over their desks using the iPad, negatively impacting their posture
- Students were tapping at the screen and not learning to touch type
- The on-screen keyboard covered half the screen causing a loss of efficiency
- The iPads needed protection as students often dropped or caused damage to them
Solution
- The patented hinges of the Brydge keyboard allows students to adjust the iPad to any angle, just like a laptop
- The full keyboard allows students to view the entire screen when typing
- Students are learning to touch type and are increasing their typing efficiency
- Combined with the OtterBox case, the 100% aluminum Brydge keyboard provides superior protection against drops and rough use
The Brydge keyboard has been extremely well received by the students, parents, and staff as it allows the students to see more of the screen and their keyboarding skills and efficiency have improved."
