An upgrade to the university’s legacy app, CTU Mobile’s all-new user experience and interaction design reflects the principles of top-rated mobile applications and elevates industry-wide standards for higher education mobile apps. The extensive redesign expands upon CTU’s award-winning work in adaptive learning and reflects the university’s commitment to innovative learning technology that enables students to better fit education into their lives.
“Colorado Technical University is proud to offer our students a best in class mobile app that makes education more manageable within the demands of their fast-paced lives,” said university president, Andrew H. Hurst. “CTU Mobile is another way the university is investing in learning technology to improve the student experience and help students uncover more opportunities to learn.”
CTU Mobile was designed to help students take advantage of their mobile moments, and in turn, find it more convenient to fit education into their lives. Current CTU students shared their challenges and the development team zeroed in on the areas which could make the most significant impact in their learning experience. In collaborative focus groups, students defined which features and push notifications they wanted most – making the app’s real-time updates highly valuable and relevant to each individual user.
“Push notifications can be distracting if they’re not designed with intention,” said Melissa Balsan, CTU’s vice president of marketing. “We knew that mobile notifications had the potential to open an entirely new line of communication with our students, so we were protective of the user experience and conservative with our messages.”
Top Student Benefits of CTU Mobile
The newly redesigned app focuses on the area where students spend the most time – the classroom. Other priorities include motivating students, helping students connect with the university, and preparing new online students for sustainable success. Key benefits for CTU students include:
Student feedback about CTU Mobile has been positive and students report that the new app is making a difference in their university experience. “I definitely feel more connected to my education with CTU Mobile! I find myself checking it throughout the day and planning ahead much more than before,” said Rosalyn G., a CTU student who attends the virtual campus. “My phone is always with me, and now, class is always one-touch away.”
CTU’s Mobility Vision
CTU Mobile is just one important aspect of the university’s mobility vision, which extends beyond mobile applications alone. “Today, the academic experience is fluid,” observed Dr. Connie Johnson, CTU’s chief academic officer and provost. “We’re focused on developing course content that can be consumed in student’s mobile moments, which mimics the way we use social media sites throughout the day.”
In addition to CTU Mobile, students are also able to access intellipath™, CTU’s proprietary adaptive learning technology, from a tablet device. “As an avid proponent of technology, exploring new ways to leverage mobile to engage our students will be how CTU remains relevant as an educator for years to come,” added Johnson.
CTU Mobile is available now in Google Play for Android users and in the iTunes App Store for Apple iPhone and iPad devices.
