(From Christina- I made this page for myself to work on the purposes and backgrounds of the other SOWS because I keep changing computers and have actually misplaced hours of work. I will continue to add to my work and then add it to our responses-feel free to comment /correct)

disciplines,including History, Mathematics, Composition, and Psychology through traditional, blended, online and guided virtual independent mobile learning sessions. Faculty at Skynet Twenty include tenured and non-tenured individuals who teach undergraduate (1000 level) core courses but the faculty experience with iPhone applications ranges widely. Knowledge and expertise with systems and tools are necessary to reach students through their preferred modality and technology. The following data reflects the results of the needs analysis conducted by the research team in the College of Education –/Instructional Technology at Skynet:   90% of students own cell-phones with the features of text messaging and cameras   70% own an Apple iPhone   95% own laptops or PCs   75% of undergraduate students have completed at least six credits online  Purpose The training will provide instructors with knowledge and opportunities for hands-on application pertaining to the design, development, and implementation of mobile learning technology. Participants in the workshop will recognize strategies in which mobile learning can be implemented in a blended learning approach to enhance or augment traditional face-to-face or online learning classrooms.
