Last week, I attended the rehearsal of Dave Olsen‘s webinars on how to create a mobile website for your university in 24 hours or less.
And, I’m happy to report that he has really done a lot of work to make the implementation of MIT Mobile Web very easy through the integration of some Google services. In just a few edits, you can get a mobile website for your institution complete with a campus directory, news, campus map and a calendar of events.
It is really amazing and definitely worth the registration fee with the time you will save – by attending the webinar – implementing the open source package.
Since I’ve received a few requests to postpone the registration deadline of Dave’s webinar series, Going Mobile, I’ve decided to give you a few more days to register if you are interested.
Registration will close this Friday (October 16, 2009) at 9PM ET: www.higheredexperts.com/goingmobile.
This 2-webinar series is composed of a live event and a pre-recorded session that can be watch on-demand.
Going Mobile: How to build a mobile website for your institution in 24 hours
October 21st 2009 – 1PM-2PM ET (rain date: October 28, 2009)
Can you find your way in a page of HTML code, use Google services and follow basic steps?
Then, you can develop a mobile website for your institution compatible with smart and regular mobile phones in no time and on a dime.
David Olsen, Professional Technologist at West Virginia University, will explain why and how to build your institutional mobile website in 24 hours (or less) and… for free. He will demonstrate all the steps involved in using MIT Mobile, an open-source mobile web platform, and will share the shortcuts and code he developed to implement the calendar, map and news features for WVU Mobile Web.
