Chapel, Edward
Journal of Computing in Higher Education, v20 n2 p15-23 Nov 2008
Montclair State University, a public New Jersey institution with more than 17,000 students enrolled, has harnessed the cell phone and cellular broadband technology to foster a stronger sense of community and provide students with a safe, secure, and rich learning environment. This paper discusses the potential for new technologies to foster development of a virtual campus. With this goal in mind, it also provides a case study of the application deployment at Montclair State University, and a glimpse into the future of mobile technology at higher education institutions across the globe.
