The University of Northern Iowa is now ready to join the mobile market.
The university’s new website (http://m.uni.edu/), http://m.uni.edu, is up and running. Some features include a UNI calendar, newsroom and A-Z index. Eventually the website will contain a full directory, campus maps and residence hall links.
The website was planned and launched in the last year as a response to the increased mobile web use on both smartphones and tablets by students, faculty and staff.
"By some estimates, more smartphones and other mobile devices will be accessing the web by 2014 than computers", said DeWayne Purdy, director of electronic communications at UNI's office of university relations. "The current mobile site is just the first step in a planned evolution of the mobile site at UNI”.
"We're continuing development on detecting different types of mobile devices, so accessing the UNI site on a smartphone will automatically direct it to the mobile site”, Purdy also added.
The University of Northern Iowa was founded in 1876 in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The university boasts nearly 13,000 students.
