14. Incubator Lab example 150 Maryland Freshmen Pilot Mobility Initiative COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The University of Maryland will launch a pilot study this fall to test whether handheld devices like the iPhone - loaded with advanced technology - can improve the educational experience of students. "We want to give students involved in this project an opportunity to gain experience integrating new technology into their studies," says University Provost Nariman Farvardin. "We want to know if the devices can make a difference." 150 new students have been selected to receive their choice of either an iPhone or iPod Touch device during move-in August 28 and 29. The pilot test - part of the university's Mobility Initiative - positions Maryland as a national leader in exploring the use of mobile technology for teaching and learning - with the pilot utilizing technology from Apple and ATT.Mobility Initiative

15. "This pilot test is a wonderful opportunity for us to see how equipping students with advanced mobile devices will improve their educational experience," says Jeffrey Huskamp, University of Maryland vice president and chief information officer. Jeffrey Huskamp "Students are increasingly tech-savvy, mobile technology is advancing rapidly and a world class research university should be prepared to exploit the educational possibilities," Huskamp adds. "If the technology will help make a large university smaller and more accessible, that's important. If it can enhance learning, then we need to find out."
