As we consider mobile learning at ACU, we are researching educational applications that will change the way we learn. What sorts of applications? Here are some examples.  

Academic Applications

We see mobile devices becoming a standard tool for classroom interaction among students and faculty. These "integrated backpacks" will also minimize the number of academic tools students must carry with them - iPods, clickers, calendars, calculators, eBook readers, etc. - easing the burden for students.

Social Applications

Though academics are important, we know that much of a student's success in college also depends on building and being part of a community. Mobile devices can help by making social and academic communities more accessible, offering access to friends, peers, and workgroups. Connecting to courses and campus-wide information is an added bonus, helping students feel more comfortable and more connected.
