Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas, has produced an interesting video of their campus with all students using the iPhone. The 17-minute "Connected: The Movie" video is available on iTunes U or from the ACU site .

"What might a university look like with a fully deployed program of converged devices like the iPhone? Connected is one possible vision. This fictional day-in-the-life account highlights some of the potential benefits in a higher education setting when every student, faculty, and staff member is "connected." Though the applications and functions portrayed in the film are purely speculative, they're based on needs and ideas uncovered by our research - and we've already been making strides to transform this vision of mobile learning (mLearning) into reality."

On their site they also have outlined their case for mLearning, case studies and an initial list of applications. This is definitely a group that "gets it" and one which we will be following. Great job, ACU!
