iTeam Mobile Learning Initiative: Our Mission

Instructional Support & Training at USD is committed to provide technologically advanced, pedagogically sound, and educationally proficient mobile solutions that promote best practice, support the learning community, and identify emerging technologies for teaching and learning.

We are accomplishing this concept by using an array of mobile applications and hardware solutions within the campus community to make learning an interactive, fun, and exciting experience.

We will consider this initiative successful if we fulfill the following goals: to enhance teaching and learning for faculty, to engage student learning, and to promote interactive communication within the campus community.

Definition of a Special Interest Group

A Special Interest Group (SIG) is a community with an interest in advancing a specific area of knowledge, learning or technology where members cooperate to effect or to produce solutions within their particular field, and may meet communicate, meet and organize conferences.

They may at times also advocate or lobby on a particular issue or on a range of issues but are generally distinct from Advocacy groups and pressure groups which are normally set up for the specific political aim; the distinction is not firm however and some organizations can adapt and change their focus over time (definition courtesy Wikipedia).
