ATIV Software launches mobile app for the Ohio Learning Network Spring Colloquium in Columbus

March 18, 2011 - PRLog -- ATIV Software has announced the launch of the OLN 2011 conference app for the Ohio Learning Network 2011 Spring Colloquium in Columbus, Ohio. The Spring Colloquium gives higher education institutions throughout Ohio the opportunity to discuss best practices for using technology for teaching and learning. The OLN 2011 conference app is powered by EventPilot Plus, an intuitive event guide that allows attendees to communicate and navigate the conference all from their mobile devices.

“The OLN Spring Colloquium brings educators from across the state of Ohio together to focus on the issues and practices related to using technology for teaching and learning.” said Marcus Milligan, Director of Instructional and Service Technology. “The OLN 2011 mobile app utilizes the latest features for information sharing and communication, making EventPilot the perfect tool to implement emerging technologies. Spring Colloquium attendees will use their mobile devices not only to view the digital program guide, but also to communicate with one another and share ideas before, during and after the conference.”

In addition to the interactive event program, features of the OLN 2011 conference application are based on the EventPilot Plus edition and include:

Native App
Native Android conference app, iPhone conference app and iPad conference app to ensure best performance, network independence, and device specific navigation users expect.

Connecting with Attendees
Unique slide tweeting to share key insights with others and integration of Twitter, Bump, and QR technology to allow easy networking.

Real-Time Updates
Attendees receive just-in time notifications about their scheduled sessions, program changes, and Twitter updates without ever leaving the first screen.

Rich Experience
EventPilot Plus supports PowerPoint slides, YouTube video, PDFs, handouts, surveys, polls, note taking, and more to create a valuable reference app that is used by attendees long after the event.
