What mobile initiatives are on campus?

There are a few upcoming mobile initiatives and some that have been around a while.

First, some established ones.

• Did you know you can text a librarian??  Yes,  you can, during Library Hours:

1. Compose SMS/Text message to 66746
2. Start message with keyword: pslib
3. Send message [Example: pslib can you suggest books about urban legends?]

Or, use the QR code on this page to start your message.

• Are you signed up for the Pellissippi Alerts system? You can get notified by text in the event of weather related college closings or other important news.
• Did you know that you can access your online courses with a mobile interface. Not all of the tools are there, but you can read content, participate in discussions and view your grades.

And coming up this year.

• Nursing students will be using iPads to access textbooks and reference materials on their site rounds
• Web Technologies will be offering a course called Web Design for Mobile Devices (WEB 2700)
