The International Academy of Design & Technology (IADT), well known as a degree-granting institution that specializes in providing quality design education, today announced the launch of MobiClass – a simple-to-use way to bring elements of its online education program to the common cell phone. MobiClass, a new extension of IADT’s successful virtual campus – IADT Online, brings the classroom directly to mobile phones and personalizes the education experience to an even greater degree. MobiClass works with most of today’s cell phones, and is at its most exciting when used with Apple’s stunning new iPhone.
MobiClass includes two important capabilities – a live access technology that allows students to easily access school-related information such as class assignments, campus email, and grades, and video technology that makes it easy to download and view video courseware and podcasts. Combined, the two new features add up to a college-on-the-run. MobiClass-equipped students will be able to conveniently access IADT Online’s virtual campus while away from the computer.
“This is exciting opportunity for IADT Online students and demonstrates our ability to remain on the cutting edge of innovation for education delivery,” said Sunny Sharma, Executive Director of IADT Online. “MobiClass makes college a ‘to go’ experience by allowing our online students to access their studies from just about anywhere in the world, anytime, day or night. It is a natural extension to IADT Online’s already-successful Virtual Campus – a technology that has opened the door to a quality design education for people who don’t live near an IADT physical location.”
Dr. Edmund Gross, President of IADT’s Tampa campus offered his own observation about the benefits of MobiClass. “We all spend way too much time waiting for ‘stuff.’ Waiting for the train, waiting for service in restaurants, waiting for store clerks, waiting for the countless other delays in our day-to-day lives. With MobiClass, at least that down time can be put to some better use. There are times, too, when carrying a laptop computer just isn’t convenient. Even the smallest and lightest of laptops can get pretty heavy after a while. MobiClass will be a great alternative.”
