Winona State University (WSU), a laptop mandate campus since 2003, migrated to convertible tablets in fall 2005 deploying over 7500 units. A common application of digital ink by instructors is the markup of student work submitted in digital format. Although adopted quickly, this application is instructor-centered and does not take advantage of the fact that virtually all WSU students have Tablet PCs. In the current study, each of 29 students used their Tablet PC during every meeting of an undergraduate statistics class. Each student composed and submitted all 12 weekly homework assignments using digital ink in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Journal, or Microsoft OneNote. Results indicated an increase in the use of digital ink by students as the semester progressed and a weak, positive relationship between the use of digital ink and academic performance. Although students used Microsoft Word more than either of the other two applications, their evaluation of Microsoft OneNote was more positive than the other two. Instructionally, OneNote offered the best solution for the assessment, management, and reuse of multiple written assignments for both the students and the instructor.
