McGill Mobile
Our Pitch
39
McGill University currently uses an
outdated single platform for its students
and personnel. We believe there are
major improvements to be made to
provide benefits to all users: 1) the
upgrade of MyCourses and 2) the
creation of a synchronized application
for smartphones.

CROWDSOURCING
Crowdsourcing is the process
of getting work or funding,
usually online, from a crowd
of people.
Crowdsourcing is the act of taking a job traditionally
performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and
outsourcing it to an un- defined, generally large group of
people in the form of an open call.

not want to invest a significant
amount of money in IT because
doesn’t constitute determining
factor in choosing university
Challenges

app & improve MyCourses for the best
with minimal cost and involvement
- testing app on Desautels students and
hoping for adoption by all students
across university
Risks if not adopted
- complaints from students; decreases
reputation
- more complex for students to connect
- redundancy of tasks performed by
professors
- less efficiency overall
