ABOUT ACU’S MOBILE-LEARNING INITIATIVE, CONNECTED
In a world of search engines, social networking, and mobile computers, students have access to more information than one could process in a lifetime.  In 2008 Abilene Christian University launched a mobile-learning initiative, Connected, which trains students to not merely consume these vast amounts of information, but to assess information, to synthesize thoughts, to generate new ideas, and to contribute meaningfully to conversations of global importance. For educators and administrators to engage in dialogue, research and idea-sharing, ACU hosts live and online conferences. U.S. News & World Report named ACU one of “America’s Best Colleges” in 2011 ranking 19th overall. In 2010, Forbes rated ACU in the top seven percent of colleges and universities in the USA. Nearly 5,000 students attend ACU, including about 630 graduate students, from 49 states and provinces in the USA and about 40 nations.  For more information visit http://www.acu.edu/connected
