We’ve just approved a new app on our App Store called “Topica”, brought to you by the same guys who built Post Board – Online Bulletin Board.

Topica is on Online Forum app, where you can post topics for discussion on the various QuickSchools portals. Administrators can decide who has the ability to post topics, and who can participate in topics. Topics can then be removed / archived or changed to read-only for future reference.

Topica can be used like a Bulletin Board that users can comment on, except that posts do not expire automatically (i.e. the poster has to manually change the status of the topic once the discussion is completed.

Here are some example scenarios:

• Post a suggestion / feedback to the school
• Post an activity that people can participate or get involved in
• Post a question about an upcoming event

Remember that when topics are posted, they are viewable to all users as defined by the administrators.

Apps are developed independently of the QuickSchools core modules. So for feedback regarding apps, please submit a review, and enter your comments there. Or, you can enter comments to this blog post as well.
