N2 - After receiving 10 iPads, the library staff at Winston-Salem State University wanted to increase the devices' usability as a supplemental instructional tool, specifically for digital literacy, and let the campus community know about the new technology available in the Information Commons. A project that involved students in the Hearing Impaired Studies Program learning to use and navigate the iPad with the Sign4Me application aimed to accelerate and facilitate their learning of American Sign Language. The Sign4Me application and the iPad helped students learn and adapt to under-represented communities, in this case the hearing impaired/deaf community.
