NSU Mobile Computing Initiative
Northern State University’s vision is to provide an unparalleled liberal arts education and become a leading regional university integrating education and technology. To support this vision, NSU is embarking on a campus-wide mobile computing environment supported by a pervasive wireless infrastructure and strong faculty development. The goals of the initiative are threefold: 1) to promote an environment that is conducive to anytime, anywhere learning; 2) to create a more learner-centered environment; and 3) to promote acquisition of 21st century skill.
Beginning in fall 2010, all incoming full-time freshmen will be required to bring a mobile device to campus.
