INTRODUCTION Mobile App Creation for Universities –

Targeted Initially at Math Intensive courses

Penn State – Aerospace and Mechanical Department to kick-off and develop to other dept. and universities

Based on AEROSPACE AERSP 410 class as a prototype- ThermAssist

Currently developing the alpha version to pitch for COIL, Dreamit and Schreyer’s Institute of Teaching Excellence

PROBLEMS Mobile Phones haven’t been considered as

an interactive classroom learning Conventional and Traditional Learning

inhibits the usage of new technology incorporation

Usage for math intensive courses – development and time constraint

SOLUTIONS PROPOSED Aid for Professors and Students Course Intensive Department University Professors- saves a lot of time preparing for

lectures Students – Refresher and augments learning

and HELP IN SOLVING HOMEWORK PROBLEMS AND SERVE AS A CHEAT SHEET FOR EXAMS

Set up Online Modules for few weeks in classrooms

OUR ADVANTAGES There is NO APP currently in the market that

could be used for learning in classroom – Unique and New Methodology of classroom learning

Effective retention tool as it is – Learning While Doing(LWD)

Easy access and acts as verification and validation tool for theory and problematic questions

Catering the student community scope for continuous improvement
