Free iPhones and New Google Mail on Campuses: Are They Working Out?
Mobile learning and outsourcing e-mail operations are two of the hottest topics in campus IT today. Find out today how one university has fared, when you can have a live online chat with a college official who has handed out free iPhones and uses a variety of services, including email, from Google.
Kevin Roberts has moved his institution, Abilene Christian University, from a home-grown e-mail system to Google Apps for Education, and overseen experiments in group learning using various Google applications. Roberts, chief information officer at Abeline Christian, also has pushed for mobile computing, providing free iPhones to faculty members and students to create and complete course work from anywhere on the campus. How has it worked out? Can his experiences serve as models for other institutions?
See a transcript of a live discussion with Mr. Roberts, which took place today at The Chronicle.
