2 What are your recommendations
for administrators and instructors at
universities and other organizations
with mobile technology in classrooms?
My recommendation is to explore the
untapped resources of web-based apps,
websites, and content that can be downloaded
on all devices. The majority of
the web-based apps and tools are free.
Plus, it is easy for instructors to create
their own web-based mobile apps.
3 Which technologies, mobile devices,
and apps do you think tend to
be underused in universities and other
adult learning environments and if
integrated more, could help with student
engagement and retention?
I highly recommend a couple Web 2.0
Technologies that we have piloted with
great success:
NearPod (www.nearpod.com)
Nearpod—Create, Engage, Assess
through Mobile Devices
