It’s here and it wasn’t an April Fool’s joke. On April 1st, under the Oregon State University iOS Enterprise License, Central Web Services and Web Communications released the Beta version of the iOSU iPhone Application.
Current features:
- Campus Map
- Find People
- Photo Tour
- Link to Library mobile sites
- Wallpapers
- News
- Link to m.oregonstate.edu mobile site
- Key contact numbers
- OSU’s Twitter feed
- and a Feedback form.
There are still some issues, known in the software world as bugs, to work out. While we did some preliminary testing across various iOS devices, we have not run through every permutation on how a user interacts with their app, and as such we do expect to discover more. Well in fact, users have already been using the Feedback portion of the app to tell us some of the things they are seeing as problematic.
We are also keenly interested in the views of students, and aspects that make their lives easier using a mobile platform. So if you are a student, do let us know what you think, and what you’d like to see!
Visit the the following site on your iOS device to download (and remember, you will have to login with your ONID id and password):
