Global IVY EMERITUS app for iPhone and iPad

The Emeritus Social Learning Mobile App is an application developed keeping in mind the needs for students to share and learn from instructors and from each other. The application has been designed to allow cohort based programs to interact real time allowing for students across the globe to be connected on this platform. The key features are listed below

1. The Class Discussion is a forum where faculty and students can interact amongst themselves. The faculty has the ability to stimulate student discussion with a timed post. This is a post that can be time from a start date to and end date and allows for faculty to contextualize their courses.
2. The Group Discussion is a place where students can hang out and interact amongst themselves. This is an informal setting akin to a courtyard or cafeteria on campus where students hangout and interact among themselves.
3. Conduct Polls with students - Faculty can run quick polls with students.
4. Poll Discussion – Post the poll results back to the class to stimulate discussions.
