Seton Hall University (located in New Jersey) and Blackboard have developed the SHUMobile (free) app for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It’s also available for Blackberry, Android, and Nokia devices. SHUMobile provides a student portal to a wide variety of what Seton Hall has to offer. In effect, it’s one stop shopping for managing your education. The app is quite well designed and provides eight categories at present, including:
- A searchable phone directory
- Athletics, which allows you to drill down to each sport and break them into men’s and women’s teams, with a scrolling list of stories about each. Also provided are options to search for game schedules and scores.
- Listings of events of the day, which are broken down into the following categories: Academic, Athletics, Campus Tours, Conferences, Exhibits, Film, Lectures and Readings, Performances, Receptions, Religious, Student Government, and Workshops. A daily listing is provided along with an easy way to move forward or back by a day. Choosing one brings up a screen with specific information on that event.
- A pinch and stretch campus map that uses GPS to locate your position on campus
- A scrolling list of videos
- Seton Hall news (broken into categories)
- A searchable listing of 250 images of people and campus life
- The entire course catalog, which drills down to times, dates, instructors, and location
