College District Apps Bring Further Technological Interaction

The San Bernardino Community College District (SBCCD) Technology and Educational Support Services Department has released free Mobile Apps for both San Bernardino Valley College and Crafton Hills College, downloadable to their Apple or Android mobile devices. Chancellor Bruce Baron said, “We are very appreciative of the time given by the staff and faculty serving on the committee that developed this user-friendly technology. Special thanks to Andy Chang, our Director of Administrative Application Systems for spear-heading this project and to our students from the CHC and SBVC student governments who provided their time and input into making the app as useful as possible for their fellow students. Great team effort! Dr. Glen Kuck, Associate Vice Chancellor, noted that “these terrific apps are useful for students, staff and faculty – they have a wide range of uses. All the user needs to do is go to the appropriate App store and search for the college name, then simply click install and you are ready to go!” This mobile app can be used by students, staff and faculty to: • View an interactive map of either campus (using Google maps for Android and Apple maps for iOS) • Get live feed of current events at each campus • Retrieve parking and bus schedules • Find departmental information (phone number and email addresses) • Access the Employee Directory Additionally students can also: • Check their grades • Search and register for classes • Check their schedules • Pay fees via the WebAdvisor link • Link to the Blackboard Learning Management mobile app • Check notifications (includes such things as holds)
