Campus Technology recently reported that UC-San Diego has released a free iPhone app for students that they can use to access information such as courses, professors, and various videos that UCSD distributes via its YouTube channel. They also include a rather compelling statistic: 2,100 downloads after only two days of making the app available.

Needless to say, there has been lots of interesting movement on the mobile-campus-computing front and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the research that comes out of this expanding circle of growth. Geri Gay, the head of Cornell’s HCI Group, appears to be one of the leading researchers in the area and gave a very interesting talk at this year’s Educause ELI. A quick look at her publications shows her work in mobile computing extending back to 1997. Impressive.
