On his blog, Learning in Hand, teacher and technology specialist Tony Vincent lists a number of common myths about Apple mobile products such as iPads, iPhones, and iPods. A similar list [.]. MORE >>

There has been considerable activity at the University of Canberra with the implementation of Apple-based systems for supporting teaching and learning.  With that in mind, I applied for one of the Apple University Consortium (AUC) scholarships to attend last week’s iPhone Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) Workshops in Sydney, and was delighted to be accepted. Nick’s interest in all things Apple has naturally led him to apply his studies in Software Engineering to developing all manner of cool, useful, and whacky iPhone apps.  MORE >>

Content in either of these formats has the ability to engage, convey and capture a mobile user, and therefore the higher the production value the greater the impact the content will have. Typically the Content Creation Team will either source the appropriate media file, or create it from scratch using a variety of industry standard tools such as Audacity for podcasts or Apple’s Final Cut Pro for videos.

As part of our work on the MoLE project we have been revisiting the rapidly growing number of frameworks, libraries and platforms that developers can use to create cross-platform mobile apps If you are new to app development, you may know there is a constant debate between app developers, building “native” apps, and mobile web developers, championing “web apps”. This is a rapidly emerging area, with a flurry of very exciting toolkits available. We have hope you find it useful. MORE >>
