Welcome to UD -- A site designed for new students to learn about UD.

UD Mobile Web was developed using iMobileU, which is an open source program. Using an open source solution, UD benefits from, and contributes to, the core practice of sharing information and experiences with other organizations that use iMobileU. This world-wide network supports best practices and continued growth in mobile technology.

New services will be added to UD Mobile Web as the project develops.
