Hello my fellow GCU Lopes!

I want to share with you all my free app called Class Updates.  I encourage you to use Class Updates app with your students, and share Class Updates app with your colleagues at our University.  If you want to improve student engagement and communication, Class Updates is the digital tool for you to do so. 

Class Updates is a FREE teacher to student mobile communication app for convenient, real-time communication to any mobile device. Our app also has other helpful integrated features, like a Calendar to schedule important due dates or reminders. Faculty can also create a group or groups and allow students, faculty or both to join the group (just like a class) and be able to communicate with the entire group in real-time. Group Leaders can be assigned who also have the ability to send updates as well.  

Class Updates improves the overall learning environment, helps everyone save time and be more efficient, and can be used in addition with your campus LMS (it's not either or, nor a substitute). Class Updates is designed for high school, college and university teachers, and is FERPA compliant. 

I am a college and university Professor myself, and Class Updates was very helpful to me in communicating with my students during Hurricane Irma and it's aftermath until our classes resumed.  

Check out Class Updates Vimeo video, YAHOO! FINANCE press release and recent press release about our impact at the HBCU Tech Summit at the links below. 

Class Updates application works across all mobile platforms and is a FREE download in your app store (iOs, Android) so give it a try!

Any questions or feedback is welcomed and appreciated!
