READ MORE
Universities are starving for empowering web resources. Students, staff, and faculty have unlimited access to the internet, yet are constrained to monolithic enterprise tools like Blackboard. Social tools like Facebook, brightkite, etc. help users connect after hours, but there is a drought of educational communication applications. The stage is set to develop intuitive tools that connect students with faculty, promote collaboration without constraints of space, and prune the university paper trail.

The growing horsepower of next generation mobile devices and the increasing speed of mobile networks allow us to do away with technologies such as WAP. Mobile devices can now easily view websites, as well as create and playback media as if on a desktop or laptop. Does this mean web applications don’t need special considerations? When you have an always-on connected device that is aware of it location and most and always with its user, a whole new paradigm of connected, social, and location based experiences emerge. With Rich mobile Internet Applications on the horizon, what are the possibilities and the potential considerations when designing and developing next generation mobile applications?
