Mobile initiatives ‘breaking down the walls of the classroom’ at Abilene Christian U — from campustechnology.com by Dian Schaffhauser

Excerpt:

Small private college Abilene Christian University has entered the fourth academic year of its mobile education initiatives, and the program’s momentum and influence is still growing. The Texas institution, which has added the Apple iPad to its list of devices made available to students and faculty, along with the iPhone and iPod touch, recently hosted a Connected Open House, with attendance by people from dozens of other schools. The university is also running numerous mobile-oriented research projects among its faculty and recently opened three new mobile research centers sponsored by a sizeable grant from AT&T.

A common theme is emerging from Abilene Christian’s multiple programs, said Director of Educational Innovation Bill Rankin.
