An app is now being offered in the United States that provides college students one-stop access to all of their educational content and
resources. The digital academic organizer Myday collects information from
across a university and makes it available to all student devices.
The app, developed by the U.K.-tech firm Collabco, gathers content
from an institution’s learning- and student-management systems and even
provides students with information on bus routes, social media updates, and
homework assignments. The app uses a single login and can be customized by each
student.
In addition, the mobile app can be branded for each
university that uses it, has multiple-language support, and can be integrated
with other tools such as Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, and Office 365. Collabco
also provides a support team to guide colleges through the setup procedure.
“Colleges
and universities are always looking for new ways to attract and retain students
in an increasingly digital world,” Collabco CEO Mark Francis said in a report for Campus Technology. “The key to this is to make education a highly
personalized, engaging experience for each individual.”
