Mobile University Access

For those in higher education looking for examples of a campus that is providing mobile access, you might want to check out a very nice solution at Australia's Curtin University of Technology CurtinMobile.

They provide students and staff with the access and information they need via their mobile devices. The application automatically provides both an icon-based layout for current higher-end phones or a text format for older phones.

You can view it on your mobile at m.curtin.edu.au or see a video demo here.

  • OASIS: Access Student Email, Official Communications and more!
  • Maps: Browse the campus map so you never get lost!
  • News: Find out about the latest exciting news & events at Curtin
  • Library: Opening hours, browse the catalogue and more
