Starting in autumn 2018, new first-year students at the Columbus and regional campuses will receive an iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard as part of the Digital Flagship initiative. But students and faculty are already using the technology in a series of pilot courses for the new program.

The Digital Flagship initiative is more than using devices, and iPads are only one part of the collaboration with Apple. An iOS design laboratory on the Columbus campus will support faculty, staff and students in the development of new apps and new tools in the Swift coding language. Swift workshops are already underway at Ohio State.
