“My University” is a mobile application for accessing the services of the educational institution with the possibility of administration of individual elements . In other words, the resource will become a kind of “one window” of the university, accumulating useful information for all concerned. Unlike a traditional website, the feature of the app is interactive interaction and feedback. Typical modules, information, news, online signup, chat, polls will be implemented here.
Applicants will be able to get information about the admissions process, students - to get acquainted with the schedule, receive assignments from teachers, use the electronic journal, sign up for courses and online consultations, teachers - communicate with students, conduct surveys. The functionality can be flexibly expanded taking into account the requests of all interested users.
Testing of the new application is planned to start in May.
For many years, Beltelecom has been participating in large-scale education digitalization projects. At its own expense, the enterprise laid modern fiber-optic lines to all city schools. The construction of fiber-optic to rural educational institutions continues. The reliable infrastructure has become the basis for e-education projects, distance learning and other relevant areas.
Beltelecom is ready to implement any telecommunications project on a turnkey basis, taking into account all the requests of the customer. Internet access, Wi-Fi, video surveillance, hosting services are the most demanded in the field of education.
