goCI v2.1: View your class schedule, grades and open lab computers

by in , , , ,

We're excited to announce that on Monday, January 16, 2017 we officially launched v2.1 of our goCI mobile app.

The updated app now includes the following 3 new modules:

"Register": now you can view your class schedule, grades from previous semesters, and browse the course catalog.

"Pay Now": pay your tuition and other fees for your student account online through the app.

"Labs": view how many computers are available in the open labs on campus (currently only Broome Library labs are listed).

We are also working on an enhancement for the "Register" module that will enable you to find classes in the course catalog, as well as add, drop and swap those classes. Testing is currently underway, and we expect to launch these enhancements in February.

Have a great idea for the goCI mobile app? Let us know! Contact Peter Mosinskis, Director of IT Strategy at peter.mosinskis@csuci.edu

We hope you had a great summer!

T&C had a fun and busy summer too:

  • We completed some major network upgrades to make our wired and wireless network access faster and more reliable than ever.
  • We set up classrooms and deployed over 300 new computers to our newest campus classroom and lab space: Sierra Hall.
  • We made it easier to find campus events by adding CampusQuad to the goCI mobile app.
  • We've made it possible for CI students & employees to get Microsoft Office for free.

Are you a first time CI student or a new CI employee? Check out the New to CI page to familiarize yourself with the full range of services that are available to you.

If you have any technology questions, feel free to contact the T&C Help Desk at 805-437-8552 or email helpdesk@csuci.edu.

We wish you a fun-filled fall 2015 term, and let us know if there's anything we can do to improve your experience at CI.

goCI is now available

by in , , , ,

Along with today's wireless upgrade announcement, we also pleased to release v2.0 of the goCI app for iOS, Android and other mobile devices.

goCI v2.0 was completely re-built from the ground-up using the Modo Labs Kurogo platform and provides some important new updates, including:

  • improved map and wayfinding capabilities; 
  • a more flexible, tablet-friendly interface; and 
  • better support for Windows phones and other mobile web devices, via m.csuci.edu 
The last change is probably the biggest: now you can access most of the features of the goCI native app using the web browser on your smartphone. Just visit the goCI mobile site, located at m.csuci.edu.
We are still working on some big updates for goCI v2.1, (including mobile course registration and payment), which will continue throughout the summer. Our implementation team is working with our partner Modo Labs to resolve some technical limitations relating to how CI Records (our student records system) authenticates & communicates with goCI.

Please contact Peter Mosinskis, Director of IT Strategy, at peter.mosinskis@csuci.edu with any questions or comments about goCI v2.0, and thanks for your ongoing support in making CI a more mobile-friendly campus.

goCI v2.0 is coming...

by in , , ,

We're pleased to announce our partnership with Modo Labs to bring the next version of the goCI mobile app to the CI community, and to let you know that a new version of the goCI mobile app is coming soon.

The Modo Labs Kurogo platform was selected for its flexibility in delivering mobile content to the campus community in an efficient, organized and scalable way.

The Technology & Communication mobile development team has been working with Modo Labs implementation staff since January to migrate data and functionality to the new platform, and complete testing in anticipation of our next release.

Updates to the app include:

  • improved map and wayfinding capabilities; 
  • a more flexible, tablet-friendly interface; and 
  • better support for Windows phones and other mobile web devices. 
goCI v2.0 is expected to launch in early April. Additional functionality (including mobile course registration and payment) is expected to roll out during summer 2015.

Please contact Peter Mosinskis, Director of IT Strategy, at peter.mosinskis@csuci.edu with any comments or questions about goCI v2.0 or CI's current mobile offerings, and thank you for your support in making CI a more mobile-friendly campus.
