mobile apps for universities
Hi All - My doctoral class is doing a collab course, and our project is mobile app development for the university. Just started background research, and I'm wondering if anybody knows of any interesting apps that universities have developed for their students to use? Thanks kindly. @tracyannkosa tracyann.kosa@uoit.ca doctoral candidate in CS
Not exactly what you asked for but here's a list of "portable" applications I put together for use in the often very restricted environment. I did take some liberty in my definition of portable application. If it can be run without an admin level install, I called it a portable application. Charlie Charles V.

The University of Maryland implemented a mobility initiative in which student (and faculty) were invited to use a mobile portal, with specific educational and social applications, that was created by the university. More information about the imitative can be found here - http://mobility.umd.edu/features.html ~ Dana ---------------------------------- Dana Rotman PhD candidate University of Maryland iSchool On Sun, Mar 14, 2010 at 4:47 PM, Charlie Balch <charlie@balch.org> wrote:

I know some universities (maybe Umich and NyU) have class registration or just course schedule listings via Iphone apps - try searching on an Iphone for university Our university has a map app (so does Umich and a couple other universities) for Iphone. On a related note - various certification exam preps are available in Iphone app form as well (type cisco, for instance, in the iphone app search) r Radhika Gajjala Professor of Communication Studies and Cultural Studies Interim Women's Studies Director 2009-2010 233 Shatzel Bowling Green State University Bowling Green, OH 43403 http://personal.bgsu.edu/~radhik

Hi Tracy, One good place to "browse" is the Chronicle of Higher Education ( http://chronicle.com/ ) and search for iPhone ... you will catch a large variety of mobile application news ... about 400 articles for the last two years ... Gerry McKiernan has a mobile libraries blog, listserv, and fan page on facebook ? - http://mobile-libraries.blogspot.com/ On my own iPhone, I have apps for - DukeMobile (Duke University) - iStanford - iTexas (developed by students, not the university, running into TM issues !) - UC Berkeley (The Daily Cal, a student run newspaper) as well as - myTown Not all university applications are developed at universities ... aside from packages like Blackboard and Moodle, there are several commercial sites that provide campus like portals ? e.g. - http://www.campuslive.com/harvard - http://www.campuslive.com/mit - http://www.campuslive.com/ucla --- There's also a set of middleware called "StudentForce" that data mines institutional databases and repackages it for students and their parents ? grades and GPA, term bills, banking transactions ("Send money!"), meals and meal plans, tickets, ... http://studentforce.ning.com/ http://sites.force.com/appexchange/listingDetail?listingId=a0N300000016aUcEA...
