Bridgepoint Education Introduces New iPad App for the Ashford Classroom: Constellation for Ashford University
Proprietary new app is a product of Bridgepoint's in-house software development teams

Bridgepoint Education (NYSE: BPI) has introduced an innovative new iPad app for students of Ashford University: Constellation for Ashford University. The app provides Ashford’s iPad users with complete access to Constellation, the university’s online learning software and works in concert with Ashford Mobile, the university’s course discussion app. 

Constellation is Bridgepoint Education’s web-based learning software platform. It was created for the students of Ashford University, an academic institution owned by Bridgepoint, and was specifically mentioned as a “Technology to Watch” in the New Media Consortium’s 2011 Horizon Report (nmc.org). Constellation was also a 2011 CODiE Award finalist.

“We’re very pleased to introduce our Constellation app for the iPad. It was designed to provide Ashford University students with complete connectivity to Constellation using the iPad’s intuitive interface,” stated Andrew Clark, president and chief executive officer of Bridgepoint Education. “Constellation for Ashford University is a comprehensive new way for our students to engage Ashford’s online curriculum.” 

The Constellation concept is an innate match for the tactile functionality of the iPad, which enabled Bridgepoint’s development teams to combine the logical interactivity of the iPad with the scholastic merits of Constellation. iPad-equipped students can now access class discussions and course material with one device, using the native functionality of fully supported apps. 

The Constellation for Ashford University app has been approved by Apple® and is now available at the Apple® store.
