Progress on goCI v2.1 update

by in , , , , , 0

CI's mobile development team has been working on completing the changes that will roll out in the next major release of goCI.


These features include:
  1. Mobile registration for classes
  2. Pay your course fees online
  3. Computer lab availability 
For features #1 and 2 above, we've run into some roadblocks related to our integration with CI Records and user authentication. We had hoped to have these items resolved by mid-summer but due to their complexity, it is likely that they will not be complete and available until fall 2015. 

We're also excited to partner with Labstats to provide computer lab availability information via goCI. This goCI module will show how many computers are available in our two main public computer labs, both of which are located in Broome Library. This should make it easier to find out how many computers are available for use during the busiest times of the semester. 

Feel free to contact Peter Mosinskis at peter.mosinskis@csuci.edu with any questions. 

goCI v2.0 is now available

by in , , , 0

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!

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, with additional functionality (including mobile course registration and payment) which is expected to roll out this summer.

Please contact Peter Mosinskis, Director of IT Strategy, at peter.mosinskis@csuci.edu with any questions about goCI v2.0.
