That more than 500 professionals from education and technology fields attended the 2011 Connected Summit at Abilene Christian University this week, in spite of shrinking – or soon to shrink – budgets and a tight economy, is a testament to the importance many ascribe to the innovative mobile-learning initiative for which ACU is recognized.
Attendees were generous with accolades for what they saw and learned about the subject matter, and ACU.
“I look at how a small university in Texas is using technology in a big way and it gets me excited. It is amazing to see the engagement between students and teachers. I’m really impressed. They’re the model for all of us to follow – small and big campuses,” Campbellsville (Ky.) University IT director Hermano Queiroz told Abilene Reporter-News reporter Mike Roark in his story in today’s edition.
In addition, this ACU-produced video captures a variety of perspectives from leaders attending Connected Summit:
