Welcome to the University of Maryland's Mobility Initiative Web site. Our pilot
program continues in the Fall, 2009 semester.
The Mobility Project is a new initiative of the University of Maryland that is
sponsored by the Office of the Sr. Vice President of Academic Affairs and
Provost, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and the Office of Information
Technology. It is a pilot program to enhance the student education experience
by examining the role that mobile Internet access devices might have in the
future of instruction, learning and the social growth of students on campus.
Our Mobility Project pilot goals are:
- Enhance the classroom learning experience
- Promote interaction between faculty and students
- Provide students with a tool to help them manage their
time and navigate the physical and administrative
environments on campus
- Enhance the personal safety of our students
- Promote the university's world class status through
innovation and technology
