NDLI: UR mobile: there's an app for that!

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Tanger-Brown, Melisa
Abstract	In 2010 the University of Rochester partnered with Blackboard to implement a mobile solution for components of our web site that runs on iPhone, Blackberry and Android devices, as well as phones with web browsers. Popular areas of the web were implemented through an "app" solution that allows for multiple device support while keeping maintenance and development within our IT department to a minimum. We were able to leverage existing code from various services and areas of our web site and create a set of feeds that populate data into the mobile application. Blackboard maintains the actual device code and processing of the feeds which allows our IT team to focus on the data instead of the specifics of development of mobile applications and following trends in devices. This presentation will cover the decision-making process, the implementation, the on-going development and the end-user feedback.
