In the spring of 2006 the MIS department, with the support of the Fox School, initiated the Mobile Interactive Student (MIS) pilot. As part of this pilot each student in MIS120 was issued a Pocket PC. The device is theirs to keep and use in subsequent courses. The goal was to get students comfortable with a type of technology that few have already encountered but they will undoubtedly encounter when they become IT professionals after graduation. The use of this Pocket PC was integrated into MIS120. In the following semesters, the use of this device is being integrated into subsequent courses. I was instrumental in the implementation of this pilot.
