MWF AboutThe Mobile Web Framework is a cross-platform web framework that focuses on mobile web standards, semantic markup, device agnosticism and graceful degradation, providing a robust presentation layer that allows applications to define a single set of markup optimized for HTML 5 capable devices that degrades gracefully to any HTML 4.01 or XHTML MP 2.0 compliant device including Blackberry, Windows Mobile and even T9 phones.
The framework project began in early 2010 as a joint venture between the UCLA Office of Information Technology and UCLA Communications as a means to reach all campus mobile users via a single platform in a reasonable and cost-effective manner. The framework first went into production at the beginning of Fall 2010 with the launch of UCLA Mobile.
Over ten campus units are now participating at UCLA, four other campuses in the UC system have launched production applications using the framework, and a number of other institutions both in the UC and beyond are currently involved in the initiative.
