Morgan, T. (2012) Creating a mobile learning app–what we learned, what’s left to learn Explorations in the ed tech world, March 14
You’re the ed tech co-ordinator in a small college, and you need to develop a mobile app for a specific purpose. How do you go about it? This was the situation Tannis Morgan was in, when members of the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) approached her for an app for students who are emergency responders (firemen, paramedics and police) for a course on emergency response management.
Tannis in her post takes us through the process, which took in her case 21 months. From her post, the technology was the easy part. The hard part was going through institutional procedures and policies and getting through the Apple bureaucracy.
Anyone else want to share their experience?
