Known issues on iPads?

[Andee Rubin]

In an implementation of an OpenSciEd biology curriculum, we have several teachers who use iPads.  We hear that “CODAP doesn’t work on the iPad.”  Do you happen to have a list of “known issues” for CODAP on an iPad that I could use to help these teachers solve their problems?  (And if not, I can certainly get more input from the teachers…)

Hi Andee,

Below I’ve pasted a list of known problems. It’s worth noting that if you use an external keyboard with touchpad, many problems disappear. I use CODAP consistently and effectively on my iPad Pro. But it is harder than with a mouse!

• Can’t click and drag to select multiple rows
• Sampler on iPad: Sampler tabs are inaccessible once the model is locked
• Marquee select of points on map doesn’t display the selection rectangle. (But it does select points.)
• When attempting to use the calculator, the virtual keyboard comes up and can get in the way.
• Double tapping on the graph does not zoom the graph in
• iPad: Soft keyboard covers the formula editor
• Cannot reorder categories on a graph with touch (no problem with touchpad on attached keyboard
