Mobile Data Collection: Strategically Leveraging the BYOE-Instrumented Population

UCLA strategically embraced BYOE in 2009 and has since developed a strategic mobile toolset that focuses on building an open-source framework that encourages distributed units to develop and deploy mobile browser campus services including a web-based audience response system and a mobile data collection (MDC) platform ohmage that works across all devices. Blending ohmage with MWF has resulted in MDC client apps that work for iOS, Android, and an HTML5-compliant web browser. In this session, we'll discuss strategies for bringing these and similar capabilities to a large distributed campus, including issues around technology, pedagogy, privacy, and security. This highly interactive session will include audience response exercises and live demos of both platforms.

OUTCOMES:
Explore the emerging practice of MDC and how to strategically leverage a BYOE population to engage students * Gather ideas on how to get MDC pilots going at your institution * Gain an understanding of some of the technical, pedagogical, privacy, and security issues of leveraging the BYOE trend for MDC
