After the Merge: Impact Updates‼️ Recently, we publicized the merge of our two course planning tools, AntAlmanac and PeterPortal, into one ultimate course planning tool, and the response has been amazing! Since then, we have been tracking how our users have been engaging with AntAlmanac Scheduler and Planner. Here are a few insights that stand out: ✅AntAlmanac Scheduler remains the premier course scheduling app, with over 15,000 active users (50% of all UCI students!) 📈Twice as many Planner users engaged in the last 30 days, compared to all-time previously 📈62% of users with 4+ courses in their planner were active in the last 30 days 📈Engagement increases steadily as more courses are added to a user’s plan 📈Overall, recent AntAlmanac Planner users appear to be more engaged than historical users These trends suggest that our users have become more active, engaged, and invested in planning their academic careers, and we can conclude that this merge is successfully advancing our goal of helping UCI students stay organized, plan with confidence, and remain invested in their college journey. 🚀 We’d like to again shoutout ICSSC Projects’ AntAlmanac Scheduler and Planner teams for their continued effort to make course planning easier than ever for UCI students. Proud of you all! 🫶 Thank you for your support, and excited to show you more from our Projects Committee! #UCIrvine #ICS #WebsiteUpdate #UserGrowth #BuiltByStudents #ZotZotZot
