Software:iUsask

From HandWiki

Released in 2009, iUsask was Canada's first iPhone app created for university students.[1] The app offered personalized class schedule, grades, news, library access, a campus map, final exam schedule, webcams and many other features.[2] The app creation was a collaboration between the University of Saskatchewan, University of Saskatchewan Computer Science Department, and the team that later became Push Interactions.[2] The project required tying together many different systems, including Banner, Moodle, iHelp and eHandin, to offer the features. The app was covered nationwide by many news organizations[1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][excessive citations] because it was the first of its kind for university students in Canada and it contained a wide range of features as a result of the collaboration across the University of Saskatchewan on the project. With the motto "iUsask puts the University of Saskatchewan in your pocket!", the work was a collaboration of many people from the University of Saskatchewan.
