  Please make sure that you read attached pdf before completing the  assignment.  

A  local community college has a problem with retention of students. The  community college has done some preliminary research and found out that  students feel disconnected and do not know what is going on with their  course schedules, degree programs, and options. The community college’s  board of directors has decided through the use of a consultant that a  mobile phone application that runs on Apple and Android smartphones is  the best strategy to help with the perceived feeling of being  ‘disconnected’ by the students.  You  are in charge of coming up with a solution, essentially the application  and making sure that this is going to be integrated with the school’s  information systems  (none are specified, so make some assumptions) which is going to provide students with information.    

1. What are some of the basic features that you would put in the application?
2. How can you measure the potential success of the program before it is implemented?
3. Who  are your stakeholders in the project and how can they be useful to you  in answering the question of whether or not they would use the program?

Please make sure to write 2 pages in APA formatted, citations and references, as well. Please  reference some of the models that are mentioned in the article and/or a  model or approach that you have found that you think will be more  effective.
