  4. Evidence for the Growth of Mobile Needs II EDUCAUSE 2010 Session: What Undergraduates Say About Technology: Results from the 2010 ECAR Student Study

  5. ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology, 2010 (http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ers1006/rs/ers10065.pdf) So what are students doing with technology? Really? More than three-quarters of respondents who said they own and use a handheld device to access the Internet use them to check for information such as news, weather, sports, and other specific facts; to send or receive e-mail; or to use social networking website. Two-thirds use them for maps to find places or get directions, and about a third use them to instant message, conduct personal business such as banking or shopping, or download/stream music.

  6. Evidence for the Growth of Mobile Needs III The 2010 Campus Computing Survey: Summary "... Linked to the campus LMS strategy, more than two-thirds (70.3 percent) of the survey participants agree/strongly agree that 'mobile [LMS] apps are an important part of our campus plan to enhance instructional resources and campus services.'”   "'The campus interest in and movement to mobile apps reflects trends in the consumer market,' says Green.  He cites data from Student Monitor’s spring 2010 survey of full-time undergraduates in four-year colleges indicating that 98 percent of students own cell phones and almost half have smart phones: 'students expect their institutions to provide the kinds of resources and services they experience and enjoy as consumers.‘”
