1 What are some of your favorite
apps for university instructors and
students and why?
I am known as an Appologist. A title
that I coined to indicate the curation
and evaluation of mobile apps for education
and workforce programs for
teaching, learning, and training. I coordinate
a team from around the world
(i.e. discipline experts) to determine
the content, ease of use, interactions,
cost effectiveness, and most importantly,
student outcomes such as attention,
retention, time on task, and alignment
to curriculum standards.
I have been curating apps
from all devices and disciplines since
2009. Owing to so many dynamic apps,
I created a site called Appapedia’ (www.
appapedia.org) dedicated to educators
for mobile apps that have been tried by
other educators and students, in which
you can search for mobile apps by
over seventy-five discipline areas from
PreK-Workforce Careers and by devices;
educational levels; and a new category
of searching by disability.
