"An educational institution that does not keep pace and does not engage students within the technological world in which they already live will quickly find itself on the periphery," states Tim Flood, senior technology consultant at Stanford University.

With mobile platforms evolving rather rapidly, professionals are trying to understand how best to leverage those applications for higher education. The key is creating mobile experiences that prompt consistent engagement with your audience, not simply replicating static web pages. This seminar offers lessons learned from iStanford, mDuke, and other campuses about the mobile experience and its application to the profession.
