Web Apps vs Native/Mobile Apps Web apps are accessible to mobile & non-mobile devices but optimized for mobile Require use of javascript, css, and html (and php/mysql if there’s a back end) Native apps allow access to the camera, GPS, accelerometer, etc. Native apps require knowing Java (for Android) or Objective C (for iOS).

Web Apps: rich HTML 5 based websites

App Development: Summary (1) Easiest: use a mobile app to deliver your courses through BlackBoard or Moodle Best solution with a limited budget and if you’re already using those platforms Con: Same old stuff, only now it’s in your hand

App Development: Summary (2) Hardest: Make a native app specifically for the set of interactions you need using the tools provided by Google and Apple Pros: You’ll get exactly what you need Cons: app developers aren’t cheap. Have to develop at least twice to cover all learners.

App Development: Summary (3) Cheapest: Develop web app first, and then only take it to a native app if you need to. Pro: Easy to find developers with the right skill set. Pro: You can use Phonegap to go native with some extra effort Cons: limits on what you can do. No camera, GPS, etc.

App Development: Summary (4) Web App Development Use one of the multiplatform tools to create what you need. Pro: Easier than writing directly in native code Con: Still not that easy
