One of the new initiatives in IR is a mobile application for the University. In collaboration with PR, IR will be planning and implementing a mobile presence for the University in the near future.
Over the summer, an IR Mobile Applications Team, led by Tim Meade, did some research on mobile applications in higher education and discussed implementation with two sister institutions. As a result of this report, IR is looking for a middleware solution for the University’s mobile presence. Blackboard Mobile has already been on campus to demo, and other vendors under consideration will be on campus to talk with the Mobile Applications Team in October.
I’ve asked to sit in on the demos to represent the Library and TAG – updates forthcoming.
