I'm always trying new bits of technology to see if I can get better at teaching. Thanks to Bernie Goldbach for telling me about the fantastic Motherapp service. These guys take your content from your blog, twitter, etc., and turn it into an iphone app.

So here you have the first attempt at an app for the entire stephenkinsella.net website, which works perfectly on my iphone. It took about 3 weeks to get sorted, it's free, and the results are extremely good.

The next steps are to produce custom apps for individual modules, so, for example, students in Financial Economics with a blackberry or an iphone or a smartphone of any kind in fact, should be able to get their notes, podcasts of lectures, grades, and links to other module-relevant content on their phones at the click of a button. Which I think is cool.

Take a look at the basic stephenkinsella.net iphone app, and any comments/questions/ideas you have will be most welcome.

    I spotted this while looking throught the files you have placed online for the guest lecture you gave earlier this week, Ireland and the World Economy - EC4407.

    I was wondering if by chance there was anything for us Android users?

    Working on it, Mark!
