The Honors College at Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia is helping to pilot a new app that helps students manage and complete their coursework on a mobile device.
The app’s creator, EmpoweredU, is working with 11 universities nationwide to get ongoing feedback. The director of SAU’s Honors College, Edward Kardas, says the Silicon Valley company reached out to SAU because its honors students are equipped with iPads. He says the students take surveys to help improve the app’s functionality.
“One of the things that we try to do is to have student presentations show up on the app. We’re working out the kinks right now in how to get that done more easily. Once it’s on the app, then all the students can see the presentation,”Kardassaid.
The benefit of this collaboration, according to Kardas, is that students get to use a free pilot app and help improve it. The students will take a survey next month after using the app for a full semester in their general psychology class.
