Web apps are accessible to mobile & non-mobile devices but optimized for mobile • Require use of javascript, css, and html (and php/mysql if there’s a back end) • Native apps allow access to the camera, GPS, accelerometer, etc. • Native apps require knowing Java (for Android) or Objective C (for iOS). Web Apps vs Native/Mobile Apps
Mobile native apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry etc.
PhoneGap: Website | Case studiesTurning Web Apps into Mobile Apps
Easiest: use a mobile app to deliver your courses through BlackBoard or Moodle • Best solution with a limited budget and if you’re already using those platforms • Con: Same old stuff, only now it’s in your hand App Development: Summary (1)
Pros: You’ll get exactly what you need • Cons: app developers aren’t cheap. Have to develop at least twice to cover all learners. • Hardest: Make a native app specifically for the set of interactions you need using the tools provided by Google and Apple App Development: Summary (2)
Pro: Easy to find developers with the right skill set. • Pro: You can use Phonegap to go native with some extra effort • Cons: limits on what you can do. No camera, GPS, etc. • Cheapest: Develop web app first, and then only take it to a native app if you need to. App Development: Summary (3)
Web App Development • Use one of the multiplatform tools to create what you need. • Pro: Easier than writing directly in native code • Con: Still not that easy App Development: Summary (4)
