Rave Campus also allows college and university administrators to add their own mobile applications for a truly customized user experience.

Mobile learning:
Today’s cell phones are not just phones – they are truly portable computers, with two-way communication features, full keyboard options, larger and sharper displays, and faster data speeds than ever before.
Many institutions are integrating mobile learning into the curriculum. Rave’s applications such as course groups, polling, flashcards, and streaming media are perfect for allowing faculty to create a 24x7 learning environment and helping students to keep up with their studies on the go.
Course groups can be pre-populated from third party systems, such as SunGard® Banner™, so that all of your students and faculty members automatically see their courses on their cell phones.
Now the academic mission of your institution can be realized anytime and anywhere – on the quad or even on the bus.
Campus safety:
When people think of cell phones and campus safety, many think of sending emergency text alerts. At Rave, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Now students can use their mobile phones as safety beacons, instantly broadcasting their location and critical safety information to campus police when they need help.
Why? Because preventing crimes against the individual – crimes like robbery and sexual assault – is just as important as reliable broadcast alerting. With Rave Guardian™ you can put a blue light phone in every student’s pocket.
The technology is here. The time is now. Let’s make everyone safer.
Student services:
Your students, faculty, and staff live an on-the-go, mobile lifestyle. While wi-fi coverage may be prevalent on your campus, it’s not always convenient to carry or boot up a laptop, or to constantly check for updates from multiple services.
Rave Campus makes it easy for your campus community to check its email, view the shuttle bus locations, or monitor and participate in group activities right on the phone.
Imagine the countless situations each day where Rave makes campus life easier:
“How long until my bus arrives? Do I have time to grab a coffee?”
“Looks rainy. I wonder if my soccer game is still happening tonight.”
“I need to organize my classmates. What’s the most convenient time/place?”
