CampusQuad Enhances Student Information Mobile Platform
Mobile
platform provider CampusQuad is adding three
new elements to its Student Success Platform, which organizes and
delivers
information to university students.
The
platform already integrates an institution's
disparate information sources into a single mobile-friendly channel
that gives
students any-time, self-service access to information about campus
resources
and events.
The
new CQ Current is a data integration
engine that collects information from the multiple university
calendars, social
media, event management, learning management and student information systems.
The
information is funneled into a single, mobile
channel, CQ Connect, that gives students access to everything going on
around
the campus. At the same time, it also can give students a personalized
view of
just the activities he or she is interested in.
Finally,
CQ Effect is an analytics dashboard that
helps student services representatives evaluate campus programs and services
and
assess levels of participation.
"CampusQuad
pairs a mobile student experience
with research-based elements that motivate involvement in campus life,"
said
CampusQuad CEO and Founder Frances Cairns. "We spotlight trending
activities,
provide social prompts from students' personal network of groups and
friends
and increase discoverability of events through highly intuitive
navigation that
mirror mobile consumer experiences."
