Elevator Pitch:

1. What is the app?

· Fully functional Rasmussen College App

2. What does it do/offer those who use it?

· Has all the same features the typical Rasmussen student portal offers. Such as: Resources, Email, Account, Courses: Learn, Pay Online, Schedule Confirmation.

3. Why is it relevant/interesting/important/essential/etc.?

· The Rasmussen App would be relevant because it would allow students to check information on the go from a mobile app.

Features:

The goal of the app is to provide similar features to mobile users on the go, that they would have if they were logging into www.rasmussen.edu/student-login/

Each tab from the student login will be in a selection menu.

1. Resources – Would allow students to receive all the information from the resource tab on the website.

2. Email – Lets students check school email anywhere.

3. Account Center – Students can access their account information such as classes completed, grades, and financial aid.

4. Courses: Learn – Students can log into their classes to view assignments and post on discussion boards.

5. Pay Online – Can pay any balance due anywhere you are.

6. Schedule Confirmation – Can confirm all upcoming classes easily from the app.

The target audience for this Rasmussen App would be all students who would like to check their class progress, post on their discussion boards for class, check account information, etc. I think a Rasmussen College app would be extremely popular and beneficial for faculty and students. A mobile app could improve communication and have a very positive impact on your brand and how stakeholders perceive it. It would increase efficiency and free up staff time. Time is one thing you can’t create more of so efficiency is a huge plus. Important school information is accessible anytime, anywhere. Most students these days have smartphones within reach 24 hours a day. This makes a mobile app a very powerful tool for students. Adults could also use the app to track students’ progress with classes and financial information.
