With many classes now taking place online, staying in touch with students and making sure they are always on track can be challenging. The web-based Remind app allows professors to send text messages and in-app notifications to students. This makes reaching students easier. Students also have the option to reply to messages, which keeps the communication between professors and students open and ongoing.
The Remind web app also allows professors to reach students on their phones through push notifications instead of sending emails that students may not read right away. Along with messages, the app supports attachments and services such as survey apps, making it an easy solution for interacting with students in different ways.
