Chinese Language creative writing instruction in Singapore has been unable to shake off traditional teaching routines because teachers fear that students to go off-topic in examinations. The Singapore Centre for Chinese Language and Nanyang Girls’ High School launched a year-long school-based research project in 2012, using iPads to supplement creative writing. Results indicate that the iPad strengthens the connectivity of knowledge and obtains seamless learning results, beneficial to the teaching of creative writing in the Chinese Language and students’ creative thinking abilities.

在新加坡，指导华文创意写作始终无法摆脱传统教学方法，因为老师过于担心学生会在考试时偏题。2012年，新加坡华文教研中心和南洋女子中学展开了一年之久的校本研究项目，采用苹果平板电脑来补充创意写作。研究成果显示苹果平板电脑加强了知识连接并获得无缝学习成果，有利于华文创意写作的教导和学生发展创造性思维能力。
