CTU Mobile by Colorado Tech 4+

Update

This is a well design app but it needs to be updated to fix with the latest Smartphone. The discussion board need more up to date features for editing and the Individual Projects also need an up to allow a icon for Grammarly for students to use before submitting also if a student needs to up load a project management assignment it just will not upload. Next, things that needs to be a more collaborative feature so students can work with others students on project and even with their professors. I would like to see a need brighter maroon color added. I also would like to be able to use all of the IPhone features such as pages ( isheets) I would like a digital calculator add with a scientific feature to do algebra equations.

One star for app and their I.T. “help”

Colorado Technical University's application leaves much to be desired. The numerous glitches and bugs in the system make it a frustrating experience for students. One major issue is the inability to upload assignments, which is a fundamental aspect of online education. Even more frustrating is the IT department's inability to resolve these issues, leaving students feeling unsupported.

Furthermore, the requirement to complete an APA paper and upload it via a mobile phone is simply impractical. APA papers often require precise formatting and referencing, which is challenging to achieve on a small screen. This requirement adds an unnecessary layer of complexity to the educational process.

In summary, the glitch-ridden CTU application, along with the difficulties in uploading assignments and the impracticality of submitting APA papers via mobile, make it a less than ideal platform for online education. These issues warrant a critical reevaluation of their technological infrastructure and policies.

Thank you for reaching out and I am sorry for the issues you have been experiencing. While we provide the option to upload your submissions and papers via the mobile app, it is recommended that you complete these via the Virtual Campus rather than the mobile app. If you need more support, please reach out to mobile@coloradotech.edu so that we can work with you on this submission issue.

Review

I do most of my reading for my classes on the app. It has been very convenient for me and I’ve enjoyed using it. I also like that I’m able to access all my assignments, and live chats, as well as my resources and conveniently be able to message my academic advisor or professors through the app itself. The only problem I sometimes have is the app will glitch when I’m trying to review my notifications and then it closes out. It happens almost every time I open the app and select notifications. Other than that the app is very good and resourceful for me.
