Applications Development worked closely with Student Services in creating Carleton’s first mobile application for current students: Carleton Mobile.
The app, which is being offered initially for phones that run on the iPhone and Android platforms, allows students to view their class schedules, access your grades, get around campus using the campus map and keep up with Carleton news and information.
This was one of the recommendations of the Student Communication Benchmarking project and was led by the Office of the Associative Vice-President (Students and Enrolment) and supported by a university-wide student communication advisory committee.
The plan is to build on the mobile application and update it with additional features on an ongoing basis. First up on the list is adding an exam schedule feature later this fall.
