Campus news that gets through – without any detours

The news feed is the app's home page and your university's digital information channel. It brings together key announcements, dates, and posts from various areas—up-to-date, mobile, and directly accessible to all users.

The newsfeed is your university's digital bulletin board. Articles, events, and surveys are published centrally and distributed directly to students—supplemented by push notifications and editorial control via the portal.

Module: Newsfeed

How the digital news section works

The newsfeed is the central communication channel within the app and serves as the home page for students. Posts can be published specifically according to target groups – from events and surveys to deadlines and campus news. Institutions, departments, or student representatives create their content in the newsfeed portal and reach students without algorithmic restrictions.

A wide variety of post types can be used: Events can be created with just a few clicks and automatically added to students' timetables. Surveys are also possible to collect feedback or prepare data-driven decisions. Images, videos, link previews, or podcasts can be used to make content appealing and informative.

The newsfeed can bundle content from various sources: via the newsfeed portal, automatically via RSS feed, or directly via Insta Sync from social media channels. The feed is structured chronologically, supplemented by sections such as "Following" and "Discover." A first-semester section is also available as an option – with dedicated content and navigation specifically for first-year students.

By assigning channels, posts can be organized by topic. Students receive push notifications about new content – ​​either automatically or based on the channel they subscribe to. This way, important information isn't overlooked.

Product Overview

The newsfeed is the central homepage of the campus app and ensures that universities reliably deliver important information to students and staff. Whether deadlines, exam schedules, event notices or internal updates – all content is centrally managed and delivered directly to users’ smartphones.
