ANC instructor, James Hartley, recently won a merit award for the
creation of his app – Kenna. This is what Hartley had to say about Kenna…
Kenna is a basic informational app that I created for my college
students. It is a free application. It will help me stay connected with my
students throughout the semester. It also provides quick access to specific
institutional resources.
Kenna provides a crime news RSS feed, a list of all the classes
that I teach, course syllabi, a direct call feature, an institutional phone
directory, office hours, current class schedule, email form, student handbook,
academic calendar, college newsletter, campus map, task scheduler, and career
opportunities.
Kenna also provides remote notifications and local notifications
that remind students of quizzes and exams as well as other institutional
information. Students expressed interest in an app of this nature, so with that
encouragement, I focused my efforts on creating Kenna.
