Please join the EdTech Center, CIETL and Information Services for this year's free AcademiX conference on Mobile Learning

Redefining the university experience: Discover how mobile devices and iOS are helping transform education.

AcademiX 2011 will focus on how the mobile revolution is redefining education. In eight 20-minute talks, leading educators will discuss how iOS development, mobile devices, and apps have impacted the way students learn, the teaching methods that have emerged, and the Apple technologies that help make it all happen.

Additionally, in consideration of both dwindling travel budgets and concern for the environment, you can choose to attend the conference "virtually," watching in real time and submitting questions to the presenters via the webcast system.
