Mobile phone application development is the new high-interest opportunity for Information Technology degree programs. Good skills and a great idea can give students valuable resume bullets, real-world experience, and the ability to create their own start-up
firm; all during their first semester of programming!. A great mobile application course can yield tangible benefits to students long before they graduate. With the release of the new Microsoft Windows Phone 7, students have an opportunity to develop apps
for a great device using Microsoft tools that are very powerful, enterprise scalable, yet easy to learn. The mobile device form factor is ideal for teaching intro or advanced programming and software develop courses because the small screen, limited controls,
and consumer versus industry focus provide intuitive scope boundaries and use cases. Student’s love their mobile devices and adding mobile development to your course catalog will attract students to your program and have them eager to learn more. For faculty
wishing to add cutting edge IT concepts and enterprise scale, Microsoft Research's Project Hawaii is an academic outreach and research dissemination project. The academic goal of Hawaii is to enable graduate and undergraduate university students to gain understanding
and expertise in developing cloud-enabled mobile applications using the Microsoft Mobile and Cloud infrastructure. Project Hawaii is a collection of cloud services, hosted in Windows Azure; a Visual Studio 2010 based development SDK and sample application
code; a community forum for exchange of ideas; and, mobile platform hardware (Windows Phone 7). Faculty attendees will see demos of the tools, a deep review of the free curriculum, books, software, tools and services, and have an opportunity to sign up to
get free “loaner” phones for your students to use in class and to have Microsoft trainers come to your school and conduct a free workshop for faculty and students. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
