23 Mobile
Things
23 Mobile Things is a self-paced learning program that will
identify 23 types of apps for mobile devices.
These include many of the most popular apps like Pinterest or Instagram,
but also apps that are related to our work at the library and apps to help our
customers. We hope this will be an
informative and fun introduction to using mobile devices and they possibilities
they present.
Who Can Participate?
All EPFL staff members are welcome to participate in
this program, although it is strongly recommended for public service
staff. Each session of the program will be limited to
25 participants.
What Do I Need?
Participants are strongly encouraged to BYOD (bring your own
device) although we will be focusing on using iPads and tablets rather than
phones. Staff can also use the iPad that
was provided for their location/branch or borrow an iPad from Systems. You also need to know how to find, download,
and install an app on your device from whatever source you use.
HOW WILL THIS WORK?
We will provide you with a list of the 23 things and
suggestions for using them, but it is really up to you to explore the options
and see what works for you. We will be
sharing a variety of app types, including social media, curation, e-books, and
even music. We’ll also be looking at
apps which you can use daily, like checking email on your device and even
setting up a mobile meeting.
There are a lot of options for exploration and
experimentation, with the goal of determining which will work best for you
professionally and personally. You may
use many of these apps already, but we hope you’ll find new ways to use them,
especially for your job and as customer service tools.
IS THIS ELIGIBLE FOR CREDIT HOURS?
Yes, you can earn up to 24 hours.
