Betty Vawter Senior Editor, News & Information Services 812/480-1873 The app helps visitors find their way around campus, keeps alumni updated on news, and allows students to browse course offerings - all from their iPhones. It provides a campus map contact information for faculty, staff, and students class schedules campus news and sports news. Contact information includes office numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. New features will be added over time. An updated version of the app will be available later in the month with enhanced features and content, and backward compatibility for those who run iOS 3.x. USI is among the first universities to develop a mobile app. Scott Anderson, instructor in computer science, developed the USI iPhone application, with the assistance of Chuck Armstrong, instructor in graphic design Jayne Tang, programmer/manager in the Computer Center Jason Provence, web technical specialist in Web Services and Penny White, senior administrative associate in University Relations. Anderson said a similar Android platform application likely will be developed at a later date. |
