Tablet to complete assignments at UTA's RN TO BSN online

Has anyone been able to use their tablet to complete their assignments online? and if so which tablet did you use? I work full-time and would love the flexibility to complete assignments during my down-time at work.

You cannot complete assignments on a tablet. Mostly, you cannot open assignments because you need Microsoft Word/Office and flash players. I have an iPad and it is totally useless for online classes, including general courses. The best thing I have found is a good notebook.

amyrnfa is correct, you will need something that has the full functionality of a computer. A netbook or ultrabook might prove to be more portable than a traditional laptop.

An example of a netbook would be the Acer Aspire One. They are miniature laptops with the full functionality of a PC, but are extremely light and have very long battery life.

You can try this: OnLive Desktop - Simple PC App Access from Anywhere

if you have a good wifi connection on your Ipad this app creates a virtual windows environment that has flash and Microsoft office. I have never tried it at UTA but hoping to soon ;)

Thank you Jbrody, my iPad works wonderfully with the NURS3645 online class. I'm able to watch the videos and complete all the assignments. I am truly amazed. I used the app that was recommended by jbrody.
