Abstract
This chapter describes a wide-ranging collaboration that aimed to have an impact on community health programs while helping students build knowledge and skills in the use of leading-edge technologies, cross-disciplinary teamwork, and healthy practices. Faculty can also play a role in attaining benefits that are somewhat outside course goals but important at a programmatic level. The Mobility Project was a great success, delivering a series of highly visible and well-developed applications. Any partnership is certain to engender multiple and often conflicting goals among participants. Students and faculty are vulnerable to being caught up in the exhilaration that comes with doing something good for the community, forgetting that a key purpose for the community involvement is to solidify understanding of course concepts.
