How does the campus infrastructure need to change to support students bringing their own devices?
What are the security implications of BYOD?
How are colleges and universities supporting the help desk question and needs in a BYOD environment?
How do you design classes and assignments for different devices with differing functionalities?
Discuss what devices you're seeing at your institutions and how the community is using them.
How do we ensure the applications students, faculty and staff need are available on all of the various consumer-owned devices they bring? If apps are virtualized, can we truly have a "will run on any device you bring to campus" policy? Do we want that broad policy?
What *is* BYOD? Come to a discussion on defining the depth and breadth of what it encompasses
Most folks today own a personal computer or tablet, and then they have one assigned from their institutions, so now I have two devices to carry around. Can we extend the BYOD concept to faculty and staff, what would it look like and what type of infrastructure would we need to have in place to make it work? Is this cost/resource savings - or something that will move those costs/resource elsewhere?
The recent movement towards BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) has gained rapid traction in higher education as more institutions realize how powerful students’ smart devices can be for facilitating learning when used effectively in class. How do we sort the self referential from reality? What about cheating, class interruptions, cheating and security?
What mobile devices are available for faculty and/or student checkout? What apps are preloaded on these devices?
What would happen to computer labs, if every student has their own device? How would electronic exams take place?
Is BYOD all about wireless devices or is it about non-enterprise apps on non-enterprise devices accessing institutional resources (applications and data)?
Should we also be thinking about the 3rd-party "apps" that will run "in the cloud" and request access to institutional information? (i.e. "virtual" user devices)
What are the real costs for IT associated with a BYOD strategy
When students started carryingcellphones, the great idea was to deliver emergency alerts via SMS.
With BYOD, the student may have several devices and may be monitoring differnet channels (CMS, twitter, facebook, ... at different times. Does BYOD change ENS polices and procedures.
When these two come together what's the results. Progress? Chaos? You decide.

What federal, state and local laws & regulations must be considered when a student/faculty/staff are permitted to use their personal mobile devices for institution business
Obviously, if you bring your device, I don't need to buy one for you... right? Or wrong? What about issuing flat technology stipends in order to procure these devices?
What considerations must be addressed when crafting an institutional policy supporting BYOD. Bring examples from your campus, case studies or troubling questions
How to stop worrying and learn to love 'the gadget'.
Key first steps to accepting and embracing personal devices on campus
We've heard broad principles like "secure the data, not the device," but how do these ideas apply to the realities of academic freedom, student devices, and painful budgets? What are concrete next steps?
