E. James Ford replied to Luke Wertz's discussion Mobile Website Features"Was just checking out this website and saw that you use iWebKit... How was your experience working with this framework?"
E. James Ford replied to Luke Wertz's discussion Mobile Website Features"Agreed... And the nice thing was that Android and iPhoneOS were both using the same rendering engine for their browsers (WebKit), so you could reliably code a mobile website across two of the more dominant mobile platforms - the obvious exception…"
Dave Olsen replied to Luke Wertz's discussion Mobile Website Features"Regarding Windows Phone 7 Series, I'm taking a wait and see attitude. Our traffic is 60-75% iPhone/iPod Touch and maybe 20% "smartphone" which really is a very large collection of devices. I don't think there's necessarily a…"
Dave Olsen replied to Luke Wertz's discussion Mobile Website Features"From our experience with our mobile website (http://m.wvu.edu/) utility trumps content. For example, campus map, directory and calendar beat out, by a very wide margin, things like campus news and YouTube. So if you can focus on utilities that make…"
E. James Ford replied to Luke Wertz's discussion Mobile Website Features"I'd say a prominent contact link and some sort of map/directions are extremely important. I think focusing on the "task-based" nature of your average web-user becomes in even more important in a mobile environment.
They probably…"
Patrick Powers replied to Luke Wertz's discussion Mobile Website Features"As with any website development, I think a large part of the decision is determining your target audience. If you're designing it for current students, or faculty/staff, the content and design will be different than for prospective students.…"
Luke Wertz posted a discussionMobile Website Features
Hey all --We're going to start looking at making a mobile version of our college's website. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on mobile higher ed sites.What features are a must and what are must nots?Being a college within a university, what features do you think we should provide our mobile viewers (our university doesn't really have a mobile-targeted website)?What have your users responded to (both internal and external audiences)?I'm hoping to send…See More

Luke Wertz replied to Michael Fienen's discussion Centralized vs. Decentralized"Something that I think (hope) will contribute to the solution is documentation. We launched a custom built CMS, gave the "power to the people" and, for the most part, it's turned out okay. I would consider our system to be fairly…"

If not, it sounds to me like checklists and schedulers are your best next steps. You can structure and document what you do now, and then look at it to see if there…"

Daniel Bashaw replied to Kimbel Jeffers's discussion Office Reservation software"Hi Kimbel.
I know you've been tasked with finding a software solution, though I'm wondering if you may need an interim step first: Does your institution have checklists covering all of the steps needed in on-boarding, relocating, and…"
Kimbel Jeffers posted a discussionOffice Reservation software
I've been tasked with finding a software tool that helps manage the onboarding and exit process of new and departing faculty. Ultimately i would like this software to management faculty office interms of when resources can be removed from a particular office and when a new faculty member can be moved in with the necessary resources. This tool should have notifications and alerts so there are no conflicts with someone being removed from a office and someone being placed in a office. Does anyone…See More

Daniel Bashaw replied to Katra Farah's discussion Online chat interfaces"In our case the impact of our current proprietary chat tool seems to be minimal, as it is little-used. It requires log-in with contact details and is slow to load. I don't have any metrics on its impact to back up my perception though.
