TechDis have approved my bid for technology under the HEAT scheme. The project aims to investigate the use of the Nintendo DS and Brain Training package as a study support tool to assist students requiring help with numeracy skills during the autumn term. This will hopefully broaden out to provide a case study of how a handheld technology tool for gaming can be put to use in an HE environment as a study support device which could aid students.
