EDUCAUSE Mobile Computing Webinar

現在持有行動裝置(可上網)的人越來越多，DIGITIMES Research預估2011年智慧型手機將佔整體手機市場的28.4%，相信再過幾年校園裡的學生會是人手一機。EDUCAUSE 調查發現有85%高等教育IT單位需要更多資訊來推動他們的Mobile Computing(行動運算計畫)，因此在4月底一連5天舉辦了幾場Mobile Computing議題相關的web seminars。

點擊每日的主題可以連至當天的網頁，所有的介紹、資源連結都在上面。為了方便使用，我把錄製的web seminar及每天都有一段簡短的訪談影的連結也貼在這裡。

EDUCAUSE 將這5天的Seminar 總結出下列幾項重點:

1. Huge Potential. The opportunities that mobile computing presents to higher education seem boundless, and the story of mobile computing will be written by those with the vision and imagination to take risks.
2. (R)evolutionary. Don’t rethink or overthink everything—most of the principles and lessons of “computing” apply equally to mobile computing, though it’s important to see where the rules are different and adapt to them.
3. New Roles. Mobile computing is driven by technology commoditization and by the users of those tools, creating new roles for IT departments, both at the strategic and tactical levels.
4. Moving Parts. As mobile computing evolves, it places new strains on different parts of the infrastructure, and higher education needs to be diligent in maintaining the complex technology ecosystem that supports a thriving mobile culture.
5. Learning and Living. In higher education, all roads lead to learning, and mobile computing has the potential to put learning into the hands of students, all the time, anywhere they are, on their own terms.
