This native app has a very similar "look and feel" to the myCoyote portal in a "responsive design" format, which is view-able with mobile browsers like safari or chrome on a mobile device. This "native app" is built and compiled using a framework by Modo Labs. The intended use of the app is to provide a more mobile friendly experience for students, faculty, and staff for campus related systems. Once authenticated, campus affiliated accounts are given access to specific content determined by the users role and device type. Current features of this app include full functionality of the myCoyote portal experience, for example; course enrollment services, financial management, news feeds, and (read-only) blackboard course announcements for mobile. This is the first version of this app; there are plans to include new features in the coming months.
