analyzing respondr (responsive web design)

University of La Rochelle
(France)

for historical reasons, we have 2 uPortal instances (both uPortal4):

• ENT => desktop users

• ME (Mobile Ent) => mobile users

mobile web (our priority for now)

provide native app IF "real"
improvements are obvious to
the end users (when compared
with the web-based portal)

We need to :

1. upgrade ME (or "merge" our two instances)
   + optimize mobile rendering ( mobile views, page load time,...)

2. look further into respondr theme (uPortal-4.1)
   + umobile app

A web portal for occasional users and a mobile application with more services like notification push

We need to have cross-Platform tools in order to produce a mobile application. Phonegap is a solution, we'll try it

The mobile strategy for the portal is going to be based on the new responsive design theme.

The campus has a general mobile app that does not require authentication; there are also numerous other targeted mobile apps. See http://mobile.wisc.edu/

Currently have a desktop and mobile (collapsible list) view. Almost all portlets are available in both and the organization is the same.

We are embarking on implementation of a new portal redesign that will leverage the new respondr theme. See http://redesign.my.wisc.edu/

More sites are moving towards responsive design.
