What is York Push? • An application that constantly informs students when their professor has updated their course web page
Why York Push? • In a world where smartphones rule there is currently there is no effective way to contact students outside of school. • York Push aims towards getting information out to students by push notifications on their smart phone. (Hence the push )
How does it work? There are two main parts to York Push • The student application • The professors application
Student Application • Students will first have to sign in via Passport York. Once authenticated the program will then access the students courses + sections and “sign up” for push notifications from them. • The program will proceed to run in the background waiting for the next time to check if there has been an update and if there is send them a push notification.
Professor Application • Smartphone/Desktop application • Will behave the same way as Student application for logging in and enrolling professors into the courses they are teaching for the term. • To send students the message the professor will have to click/press on a button
Possible additions to York Push • Can be an extension of Moodle • Can act as a chat room between students in the same class • Checking Prof Office Hours • Can expand to include study groups And much more….
