Bringing Commerce to Campus: Introducing Modo Marketplace
Alex Jekowsky, Senior Director of Commerce, Modo Buying and selling are part of everyday student life, yet a campus marketplace is mostly unrepresented within a student’s mobile campus experience. In this session, we’ll be talking about the many ways a campus marketplace impacts the student experience. Spoiler alert: it is not just for convenience; we’ll be talking about creating an affordable, sustainable, safe, and engaged student-life experience on campus. The goal of this presentation is for you to walk away with the tools to create a complete and powerful campus application that goes beyond data and resource aggregation. You will learn how you to facilitate the daily commercial activities of your students, right inside your campus app, in minutes.

Breakout 1: NSO on the Go: Early Engagement for Student Success
David Kozoyed, Director of IT Solutions, Old Dominion University ODU will discuss how they used the NSO starter kit to increase student engagement by rolling out content that aligns with the student life-cycle at ODU. Hear how ODU engaged students during the Week of Welcome, Homecoming, Open House, Admitted Student Day. The NSO starter kit provided an easy repeatable process for students, faculty and staff to manage the content and leverage the app to support key events. This partnership has allowed our development team to focus on other important initiatives like improving campus wayfinding, parking and other key strategic initiatives. Learn about the journey and the strategy ODU used for student and campus engagement.
Breakout 2: Securing the App Experience as you Enhance Personalization
John Jacott, Executive Director, Appsian Modern users expect a “personalized” experience that is both optimized for usability and mobility. In order to ensure positive student outcomes, campuses are leveraging the app experience for the mobile execution of core transactions. However, to fully leverage app technology, they must face the realization that personalization comes with added security risks - as the added personalization is ultimately leveraging a user’s personal (and sometimes sensitive) data. In this insightful panel session, we’ll hear from cybersecurity experts on best practices for balancing security and personalization: How to protect your publicly-facing HCM applications from cybercriminals that might be accessing your systems via compromised credentials How to maintain strict data governance, risk, and compliance policies How personalization enables productivity – and why it’s worth the added security risk!
Breakout 1: Charting the Course for Mobile and Getting Everyone On Board
Todd Sutton, Associate Vice Chancellor for Learning Technology and Client Services, UNCG This presentation will take you through the steps taken by UNC Greensboro as they quickly launched a mobile app for the University. The goals were to eliminate an old white-labeled app that hadn’t been maintained for a number of years, bring the benefits of today’s mobile technology into the hands of key audiences, and help communicate key messages and information to those audiences in a cost-effective way with an exceptional user experience. Overlaid with a nautical voyage theme you’ll sail through the decisions made on platform purchase, how to build the right crew of supporters and determining who is captain of the ship. UNC Greensboro is in the middle of launching with incoming students. Returning students and staff will be introduced to the app at the end of the summer. Bring your mobile app voyage experiences to this session and let’s share sea tales.

Student Panel Discussion: What They Want and Need in Their App
Ana Sanchez, User Engagement Strategist, Modo
Saahil Chadha - University of California Berkeley, Karla Hernandez - Florida State University, James Nguyen - Cypress College, Fernando Herrera - CSU Bakersfield, Nicole Rothenay - Texas A&M, Corpus Christi, and Lashonda Lewis - North Carolina Central University Every generation thinks, acts, and engages differently than the next one and it’s on us to meet this generation where they are, on their mobile devices. This is a direct line to support them and help them achieve their goals from navigating through college to graduating. But the key isn’t to only ask them what they want or need, it is to involve them in the process of building a mobile experience for themselves and their peers. Which is exactly what the Modo Ideathon enabled, 240 students from 8 institutions across the country built and presented mobile applications that solved specific challenges on their campuses. Now, at Kurogo only, a panel of students from UC Berkeley, Florida State University, Cypress College, CSU Bakersfield, and TAMUCC will share their experiences and answer your questions on how, through the Ideathon, they were able to successfully leverage technology and build innovative solutions.
And the Modo Ideathon Winner is...
Ana Sanchez, User Engagement Strategist, Modo Ideathon™ is a series of weekend-long competitions full of fun and innovation, where students take their ideas and build them into an app – no coding skills necessary. This season has come to an end after 240 students representing more than 25 different majors throughout 8 different institutions across the country created more than 70 mobile apps that addressed different challenges on their college campuses. Now, it’s time to announce the national winning team that created the app with the most impactful concept and successful execution. Join us to celebrate the winning team with an award of $10,000, sponsored by AWS Educate.
