Getting Connected with ACU Mobile
As ACU launched its mobile learning initiative this fall, we wanted to lay the foundations with a true learning hub, bringing together tools already familiar to students and faculty with some new ideas about mobile teaching. Our new portal, ACU Mobile, provides this essential foundation. In response to questions about how students and faculty were using these new web apps and interfaces, we developed the following podcast walkthroughs. Narrated by William Rankin, English professor and Director of Mobile Learning Research, each illustrates how existing systems were integrated in new ways to connect students with the people and resources that could make them successful.

Connected: The Movie
What might a university look like with a fully deployed program of converged devices like the iPhone? Connected is one possible vision. This fictional day-in-the-life account highlights some of the potential benefits in a higher education setting when every student, faculty, and staff member is "connected." Though the applications and functions portrayed in the film are purely speculative, they're based on needs and ideas uncovered by our research - and we've already been making strides to transform this vision of mobile learning into reality.
