4 Always Connected

5 Trends – Behaviors/Experiences  Convenience – real-time, faster access to nearly everything from anywhere at any time  Friendly, fun and “cool” – social, entertainment and education  Personalized – learned behavior, preference and context aware  Personal productivity and job satisfaction  Affordable – more devices and data plan choices

6 Trends – Student Mobile Gadgets Source: PEW Internet & American Life Project: College students and technology, 07/19/2011

7 Trends – Student Connectivity Source: PEW Internet & American Life Project: College students and technology, 07/19/2011

8 Trends – Classroom Use  Most colleges do not have institutional guidelines for the use of mobile devices  41% of college presidents say that students are allowed to use mobile devices in class  56% of colleges let individual instructors decide if mobile devices are permitted in class  57% of college graduates say that they used mobile devices in class  2% of presidents say the use of mobile devices is prohibited Source: PEW Internet & American Life Project: The Digital Revolution and Higher Education, 08/28/2011

9 Trends – Point of view  77% of college presidents report that their institutions now offer online classes  College presidents predict substantial growth in online learning; 50% predict that most of their students will take online courses in 10 years  62% of college presidents anticipate that more than half the textbooks will be entirely digital in 10 years Source: PEW Internet & American Life Project: The Digital Revolution and Higher Education, 08/28/2011

10 Trends – College Mobile Services Mobile web services at Santa Fe College  View Schedule  Notifications  Financial Aid  Grades  Register for Classes  Pay Fees  Audit Summary  Withdrawal

11 Trends – Worker Mobility  Social networking – Facebook users spend the equivalent of 29% of their leisure time on the site  Consumerization – 33% of respondents used personal devices while at work to access social networking sites  Blurring of work and home – 35% of employers plan to provide more flexible work arrangements for employees Source: The future of mobile computing, Dell CIO insight Series, 2011

12 Trends – Worker Mobility  Tech savvy employees – colleges will need workers who can navigate the complex ecosystems of social media and support changing mobile technology  Employee expectations – technology tools provided by their organizations would be factor in taking a job with a new employer Source: The future of mobile computing, Dell CIO insight Series, 2011

13 Trends – Mobile Infrastructure and Support  Wireless 3G/4G – bandwidth for rich media  Security – access (VPN) and authentication  Storage – media-rich content and dropbox for mobile devices  Cloud services – deployment of apps  Mobile device management – remote diagnosis, configuration, inventory, provisioning and support  Electrical – quick charge stations for mobile devices

14 Balancing Organizational Efficiency and Personal Productivity

15 Components of a Mobile Strategy  Guiding principles – vision, values and goals  Policy/enforcement – security, privacy, appropriate use, device/app ownership  Devices/services – platforms, wireless service,  Provision/support – setup, configure, activate, manage, help desk, service levels  ICT Infrastructure – platforms, applications, bandwidth, security  Funding – operating budget, grants

16 Mobile Technology Strategy  Articulate college’s philosophy and use of mobile technology  Develop security/privacy policies that don’t restrict innovation and use  Plan for personally-owned devices on campus  Use the Internet and social networks to facilitate relationships and communications  Pilot mobile projects to determine levels of security and support Source: The future of mobile computing, Dell CIO insight Series, 2011

17 Mobile Technology Strategy  Link user technology strategy with college planning  Consider new technology to reduce the risk of data loss  Reconsider user stipends for mobile devices  Be aware that students are not connecting to the college – they live theirs lives “connected” and services should seek out students, not vice versa

18 Impact of Mobile Technology The future – assimilation? “Resistance is futile “ 1922 http://www.techinfo-4u.com/wp- content/uploads/2010/09/1.png

26 Mobile Web Review Pros Cost and ease of development Compatibility with the most devices Control of the development and delivery process Best match with current web developer skill sets, allowing for high levels of reuse in terms of training and code base. Cons Mobile Web applications cannot use the local device hardware, such as local storage, cameras, accelerometers, and other hardware specific features. Mobile Web is not as “Cool” Applications are not typically as easy to use, or as “polished” as device specific applications. Cannot be run in an offline capacity Often perform more slowly due to reliance on the network connection of the device

27 Mobile Web Uses Suggested Uses: Informational tools Service tools Commerce tools Non-Recommended Uses: Games Simulations Offline Uses Anything that needs to execute code locally or access the hardware directly Strategic Considerations: Mobile Web Applications are the easiest way to enter the mobile ecosystem and leverage currently existing technologies, skill sets and reuse existing application development efforts This methodology would allow the easiest path to deploy numerous services and tools to the largest number of end users in the shortest period of time

28 Device Specific App Review Pros Direct monetization of the application through an app store Built in national level marketing such as Android or iPhone recognition or “Halo” effect Device Specific applications typically have the best user interfaces and usability Access to the local features of the devices such as storage, camera, and other device specific hardware Cons Cost of development is higher than Mobile Web Buggy software is harder to fix as it relies on the user to download updates There can be multiple versions of device OS’s in production further increasing the number of delivery platforms that need to be supported Reliance on externally controlled app stores for delivery to devices. App Store may include a one-time or annual fee and may have approval process before apps may be published Applications can get lost in the Application stores with many thousands of other offerings

29 Device Specific App Uses Suggested Uses: Games Simulations Anything that relies on using the device specific hardware, such as the camera or GPS based services Anything that must run offline Media driven commerce (music, video, e-readers …etc) Non-Recommended Uses: General Information Simple Services Traditional e-Commerce (Non media) Strategic Considerations: The device specific applications do have more features and potentially better interfaces, but the value of the additional cost should be considered. Mobile ecosystems (Android, iOS, Blackberry) should be evaluated to find the right fit for your business goals. Market Penetration, Monetization, Users Needs, Market Appeal …etc. Tools like Appcelerator might ease the burden of developing for multiple platforms.

39 Mobile Development 5 Options: 1.Native Application Development 2.Mobile Application Platform Middleware 3.Mobile Pre-built Applications & Systems 4.Outsourced Mobile Application Development 5.Mobile Web

40 Native Application Development Pros: Complete control over application Designed exactly to requirements Cons: Expensive Multiple devices and OS’s to support Slower to market Infrequent releases Overwhelming maintenance

41 Mobile Application Platform Middleware Pros: Rapid application development Develop once (devices supported via middleware) Cons: Some developer learning curve Costs Backend system integrations may be difficult Examples: Pyxis, Appcelerator

42 Mobile Pre-built Applications and Systems Pros: Less expensive Applications and integrations already built Multiple devices supported via middleware Cons: Less flexibility Customizations may be more difficult Examples: Blackboard Mobile, SunGard Mobile Connection

43 Outsourced Mobile Application Development Pros: Build to exact specifications Little to no in-house development needed Cons: Expensive Vendor dependency for changes, improvements Little control post-release Examples: MobileZapp

44 Mobile Web

45 Pros: Device independent (uses browser) Develop once Can use some native device functions HTML 5 Cons: Longer initial development time More limited native device integrations (but improving) Examples: Sinclair Mobile
