Student Ally

I get the idea behind this app, but I don’t get why it has to be an app. This training, already forced upon students, shouldn’t force them to download an app, create an account, and essentially make this a part of their life. This training also ignores the possibility that a student might not have a phone or other device, and no alternatives were provided.

The fact I have to download an app in order to do the training on my computer is an inconvenience. The fact that there are words I have to memorize due to “privacy” is ridiculous since I have to be sharing my information anyway. Why is this app trying to make itself “secure?” Just make it accessible online and not through an app. I’m deleting it once I make the account.

You could do so many things to get the point across but forcing students to watch 10 minutes videos and answer questions it’s pointless. This will teach nothing because of how long and tiresome this is. Students wont listen and will find a way to cheat this system. Also if a school is forcing a app that only has 7 reviews that are all bad then I feel like that is self explanatory 🤷🏻
