AIU Mobile is Bringing the Classroom to your iPhone
February 10, 2008 by Patrick
AIU Mobile introduces a new addition for mobile devices, including but not limited to, the iPhone and iPod Touch. The new set of programs allows students to attend classes and participate more actively, but without having to be on a computer as per usual (much like the free iPhone diet) Read on through the press release below for more information. Lastly, a video is available here, demonstrating the program.
AIU Mobile includes two important capabilities — a live access
technology that allows students to access school information such as class
assignments, instructor directories, campus email, and grades, as well as a
video technology that makes it easy to download and view video courseware
and podcasts. Combined, the features finally deliver on the concept of a
truly portable university. AIU Mobile-equipped students will now be able to
conveniently access AIU Online’s successful Virtual Campus while away from
their personal computers.
According to Dr. Alan Drimmer, president of AIU Online, “This
technology radically changes the idea of a classroom by extending a
student’s connection to the learning environment. Frankly, the whole idea
of online education is portability and accessibility, and what could
possibly be more portable and more accessible than a cell phone? AIU Mobile
is an important complement to the Virtual Classroom, helping students stay
connected to the University community and providing opportunities for
academic reinforcements.”
Drimmer goes on to say, “AIU’s Virtual Campus has, in many ways,
already revolutionized the online classroom. Our VC is not just a place to
find and submit assignments, but so much more. Using the VC, students
interact with faculty and with each other, download podcasts of lectures,
access support services, locate their grades, and so on. AIU Mobile is
really just an extension of that already-wonderful technology.”
