What is the ADN?
The Applications Development Network (ADN) supports MU faculty and students through the agile and rapid creation of new applications, consulting services for new applications developed by University employees or departments, and hosting and maintenance of existing small-scale applications. The ADN also provide project management solutions to help departments develop their own applications.
The Applications Development Network is funded through Instructional Technology Fees (ITF). Therefore, as long as the application being developed directly impacts students, there is no additional fee for the development and support of the application.
