Paine Debuts New Mobile Website
Written by HBCU Digest, Posted in Headlines, News, Paine College, Technology
Paine College has launched a mobile version of its website for fast and convenient access on handheld devices. The site can be found at m.paine.edu. Paine College is the first HBCU in the state of Georgia to launch a full-featured mobile site for handheld devices. The new Paine College Mobile site is also accessible to devices like the iPad, Kindle Fire and other notebook devices.
According to a survey conducted Noel-Levitz and the National Research Center for College & University Admissions, 52 percent of prospective college students said they had viewed a school’s website on a mobile device in 2011—more than double the percentage from 2010. And 48 percent of those students said the mobile site experience bettered their view of the campus.
“The movement that Paine College is making towards the future can only be described as progressive,” said Dr. George C. Bradley, Paine College President. “Students and constituents have an expectation of this type of innovation. We’re stepping up to provide it here at Paine.”

I don’t know if the statement “Paine College is the first HBCU in the state of Georgia to launch a full-featured mobile site for handheld devices” is totally accurate. Savannah State University’s m.savannahstate.edu has been active for some time and includes links not only to the mobile version of the web site, but download links for iPhone, Android and Blackberry. Congratulations to Paine of the launching of the new version of the site.
