Breakout 1: Charting the Course for Mobile and Getting Everyone On Board

Speaker: Todd Sutton, Associate Vice Chancellor for Learning Technology and Client Services, UNCG

This presentation will take you through the steps taken by UNC Greensboro as they quickly launched a mobile app for the University. The goals were to eliminate an old white-labeled app that hadn’t been maintained for a number of years, bring the benefits of today’s mobile technology into the hands of key audiences, and help communicate key messages and information to those audiences in a cost-effective way with an exceptional user experience.

Overlaid with a nautical voyage theme you’ll sail through the decisions made on platform purchase, how to build the right crew of supporters and determining who is captain of the ship.

UNC Greensboro is in the middle of launching with incoming students. Returning students and staff will be introduced to the app at the end of the summer.

Bring your mobile app voyage experiences to this session and let’s share sea tales.
