Online University Debuts Mobile App Created by In-House IT Dept.

Trident University International has just released a news- and events-focused mobile app for students, created by its in-house IT department.

The app, available for both iOS and Android, includes news, important academic dates, and phone numbers for student services, finance, and general questions for the all-online school. Students can also use it as a gateway to Trident’s LMS and access their own personal courses and information.

“Ease of access to Trident Learning Community (TLC) and all other resources from any devices is one of our top priorities,” states Vahid Shariat, Chief Information Officer, Trident University in a statement. “With our latest Trident Mobile App, our students and faculty from all over the world can connect and enjoy going through classes using their mobile device.”
