Students in our college level Multimedia III classes are enthusiastically creating mobile apps using MIT App Inventor software. They have learned that when a user opens a mobile app, the app communicates with a device's operating system and other built-in software components to access its hardware and services such as the camera, GPS, and internet connection. The app then uses this information to provide its specific functions and services to the user. The class has successfully created apps that include Conversation, Compass, Drawing, Magic8 Ball, and other gaming apps. Students will conclude this unit by coding/creating a self-designed unique app which will be fully functional, hence it will go live for all to utilize.
