Abstract:
The university teaching is currently immersed in a process of changes encouraged by the establishment of the ICTs, which lead us to suppose that there has been a revolution of the idea of teaching-learning. Upon the arrival of that aforementioned technology we overcome the difficulties that the undergraduates affected by ADHD may have to cope with, making the integral development quite more feasible at a personal level as well as in the academic circles. By means of the use of the iPad in the teaching room utilizing the Airserver connection, that allows the projection of the content that is being viewed in the already stated device through a projector as well as the simultaneous projection of the same content in another personal device and accompanied by two powerful tools, such as iAnnotate and uPad, the student life is expected to improve and to be made easier not only for those with ADHD, but also for the university population in general, considering that this use will allow a better organization of the information, as well as a more thorough appeal and the highlight of the most significant ideas.
