- Welcome and introductions
- As indicated in Dec 2012, laptop – 88.2% (86%) and smartphone 83.4% (58%) ownership now dominate. The rapid rise in smartphone ownership over the previous year and the increase in tablet ownership 37.5% (21%) is indicating a preference to move to these sorts of devices. 23.5% of respondents are planning to purchase a tablet device in the next 6 months.E-book reader ownership continues to rise 27.3% (18%) but it should be noted that many of the tablets and smartphones may also have E-book reader functionality.Staff and student ownership of smartphones are indicating a preference for IOS 43.6% (45%) and Android 35.8% (33%) devices. Blackberry represents 12% (16%). Other devices accounted for 7% which included Windows 3% (3%).Accessing email 96.5% and accessing NILE 81.8% represent the normal weekly activity of staff and students - 92.7% are accessing email daily. General social networks such as Facebook were being accessed at least once a week by 75% of the sample – this dropped for professional networks to 40.9%.With all types of technology use (personal and work related), a computer / laptop was mostly preferred over a mobile device - however the gap was close with regards to use of Facebook (60% used desktops compared to 58.5% using mobiles). Twitter was the only technology which was used more often on mobile devices (34%) than on desktops (26%). More detailed research is needed to establish whether this preference is simply related to usability (screen size), or whether it reflects the limited provision of ‘mobile-friendly’ services. With regards to patterns of use of mobile devices, 90.8%(80%) use texts and voice calls regularly; 78.7% (56%) regularly use their device to browse the web; 71% use their device to read emails; and 67% (44%) regularly use mobile apps.

- Logical progression - the needs determined the team (data sources), then needed a delivery platform (the supplier)
- - informal feedback- focus groups (incl URB@N)- mobile learning pilots 85% of students rate Mobile Learn as ‘useful’ / ‘very useful’Library, Directory and Timetables score over 70%
- Needs – not just data but platforms (Blackberry)Team – project manager, data experts, buy in and branding/consistency (Computing, NBS). Note time difference.
