joule Mobile at Mac App Store analyse

DIRECTORY joule Mobile provides a directory where users can browse or search for students, faculty or staff that are enrolled in the same courses as they are. The directory is also a convenient place to get quick access to important numbers like campus security, the library, etc. From the initial consolidated list view, users can select a name to drill down and see extended information about the contact. From here, users can also send a friend request to that contact to connect with them through the Mobile Campus Network, send an e-mail, or add to their smartphone’s address book. NEWS Users can stay up-to-date with campus news through joule Mobile’s news feature, which streams publically available news from the school’s Web site via an RSS feed. Users that are logged into the app can also see personalized news that is only accessible to students, faculty or staff. COURSES The courses feature lists all courses in which the user is enrolled, organized by category. From this consolidated list view, users can select a course to drill down and get more detailed information, including: - Course description - Faculty - Session time - Room - Recent activity (populated from the course’s Recent Activity block) - Roster - Grades The roster appears similar to the directory and allows users to send an e-mail to their classmates.
