Apparently there is an app for everything – even your own daily schedule. As the availability of apps Apple’s App Store, skepticism has shrunk and given way for people to embrace the new technology at hand in order to make their daily lives easier.
One of the new apps available both on the App Store and Google Play is one tailored to helping students at the University of Hartford organize their own schedules for class and anything else related to their academic lives.
The new app is known as UH Mobile 2.0, a new and improved sequel to the original UH Mobile app that students were using to monitor their daily class schedules on their electronic devices.
The UH Mobile 2.0 App is accessible on any iPhone, iPod, Android or iPad running iOS.
While UH Mobile was tailored specifically to students, UH Mobile 2.0 includes features that benefit UHa faculty and staff members as well.
The original app showed students their schedule including course title, name of the professor, and location and time of each class. Now, faculty members can see the same information as well as the class roster for each course they are teaching.
Moreover, the original app would log students out in a short span of time, which made it difficult to quickly check a room number since the user had to sign in all over again. Now, with the updated version of the app, users have the option to stay logged in.
Regardless of whether you are a student or a professor, the entire UH Mobile 2.0 App has also been de-cluttered so managing one’s academic schedule, contacts and campus news is much simpler.
The updated version includes a much more efficient and convenient display of important phone numbers, student services, events, news and maps. A building list was added to the map section to make it easier for new students to find their classes or a certain department.
Included under “Campus Links” is information on dining, athletics, and campus media. The Twitter link brings students to the UHartHawkLife Twitter account where they can learn about different events going on around campus.
There is also now a link that brings students directly to a webpage where they can report any problems in their residence directly to facilities.
Regardless of being a professor or a student, UH Mobile 2.0 puts everything at a person’s fingertips.
