Open SUNY Center for Online Teaching Excellence (COTE) is pleased to share the news that this year the New Media Consortium (NMC) annual Summer Conference will take place in Rochester, New York and hosted by the Rochester Institute of Technology MAGIC Center, June 14-16, 2016.

As long time members in this organization, we greatly value the NMC organization and community, and their efforts to drive innovation across various education sectors and landscapes. The NMC Horizon Reports are just one example of the research and analysis they provide to catalyze discussion, inform, and around which they build community. We encourage you not to miss this opportunity and hope you will take full advantage of attending an excellent national event that this year will take place in our own back yard.

Mobile devices and online learning are commonplace across learning institutions. Unless your institution records (and shares!) metrics about device usage, you probably have no idea how many of your students are using mobile devices to access your course.

The bad news is that mobile students are not offered the same experience as students who use desktop computers or laptops.
