The American college Maryville University began providing every student in 2016 iPad Pro a Apple Pencil. "We are leading a revolution and changing the entire model of higher education," said university rector Dr. Mark Lombardi. The university currently owns 3 iPads, 600 Macs and 350 iPhones. All textbooks are in electronic form, so students learn from iPads. They even do their notes and homework on iPads.

About 94% of faculty use iPads in their courses. The school conducted a survey and found that iPads were used 73% for student work, 68% for student presentations and 68% for school presentations.

However, Apple tablets have competition on school grounds from Google, which is Chromebook with operating system Chrome BONE. ChromeBooks allow teachers to control what a child is doing on the computer, for example, they cannot play games when they are supposed to be working. ChromeIn addition, e-books are much more durable than iPads, which suits many schools, especially elementary and middle schools, better.

However, college students need powerful devices like this one. iPad Pro. College students are no longer as clumsy as elementary school students, so universities are not afraid to provide students with expensive Apple tablets. Students will use the iPad Pro to make Apple Pencil notes, or they can buy a keyboard and turn the iPad into a laptop.
