Weston College App Launches for Students!
The official Weston College app will be launching the new college app on Thursday September 8th!
"MyWeston" is an integrated app and portal for Weston College learners which personalises communications and consolidates access to all college systems - Basically, everything students need, all in one place!
It runs on mobile devices as an app, but is also available on desktops devices within the college network.
There are loads of features for learners on the app including access to their timetables, instant college news, up-to-date events, online learning, support services plus much more. The app also integrates with several of the college's other systems which means that the app will be a one-stop shop for all the information about the college.
Ben Knocks, Assistant Principal for Students, said ‘We’re delighted to be rolling MyWeston out for learners from this September. We consulted extensively with learners last year and from this feedback, we have developed a product that we truly believe will enhance the learner experience. We’ve worked with Ready Education, who are a market leader in this area, to create the app and we would encourage all our students to download the app as soon as possible. The app is available in the App Store and Google Play now.’
