The iPod touch and iPad educational project at Kochi National College of Technology was supported by the Programfor Promoting University Education and Student Support under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science andTechnology in Japan from 2009 to 2011. Through this grant, all 905 students have been supplied with iPod touch units and66 teachers with iPads. The existing campus-wide wireless network provides numerous services and Internet access to allof these devices. In this project, we developed several iPod touch advanced learning support applications for all Kochicollege students. The applications include "Handout" for electronic file distribution, "iRollBook" for recording andverifying attendance records, "iCOCET" for learning English vocabulary, and "eTotal" for automatic counting and realtime display of student responses in classes. From 2012, this advanced mobile wireless device learning support project hascontinued by the project group of the computer center staff without grant funds. This paper describes the educationaleffects of this leading-edge project on college students over a period of 4 years.
