Project Description<\/h3>\n

In accordance with NAU’s “Mobile First”<\/a> strategy, the Experience Design Team was tasked with deploying an upgraded NAU mobile app in July of 2018.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n \n

Objectives<\/h3>\n

The primary objective of the project is to improve on the existing app by providing a deeper, more interactive experience that will contain features that students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni really want and need.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n \n

Platform<\/h3>\n

The app is developed on the Modo mobile platform<\/a>.\u00a0 It is currently available for iOS from the App store and for Android at Google Play.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Look & Feel<\/h3>\n

The image below shows the experience of the app as of July 2018.\u00a0 As you can see the home screen navigation was limited to just a few items that are critical to students, especially student workers.\u00a0 The home screen presented an opportunity to create a more robust navigation experience.\u00a0 To do this the XD team proposed broad “buckets” of items that the user can quickly navigate to and find what they need.\u00a0 An example of a bucket would be “Move” which contains information about campus transit, city transit, parking availability, parking payments, and getting here and away from campus.\u00a0 In addition to the Move bucket, designers proposed other buckets such as Live, Learn, Connect, and Work.\u00a0 The new information architecture is the image below right.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Timeline<\/h3>\n

The new enhancements to the mobile app were launched, on schedule, at the beginning of the 2018-19 academic year.\u00a0 Continued expansion of the app is ongoing.<\/p>\n
