Apps
Add to home screen
対象学生
The campus can be placed on the home screen like an app and opens directly in the learning arena without browser bars.
目的#
One tap instead of typing an address — and a surface that feels like an app.

How it works#
A manifest describes name, icon, start page (the learning arena), colours and orientation; a small background service makes the campus installable. It is only registered for the campus area and passes every request on to the network unchanged — it deliberately buffers nothing.
Web app or app from the store?#
The web app is available today and needs no installation from a store. Notifications, storage on the device and working offline are not part of its scope.
ヒント#
- The web app caches nothing: it loads every page fresh from the network and can therefore never show outdated content. It does not work without a connection.
- It only applies to the campus; the rest of the website remains an ordinary website.
- On the home screen it is called “Learning arena”; the full name carries the operator of the installation. The avatar figure serves as the icon.
