Hello all!

Quick update on our latest goings on here at Unisocs HQ. Firstly, thank you all for the tremendous support we have received, it keeps us working to build a truly innovative product for students.

The Unisocs learning analytics dashboard is currently under development. We're working with some of the most experienced developers in Liverpool, so it's in good hands.

Our timescale to launch is approximately 3 months, when we pilot within the University of Liverpool. The feedback we receive will be used to further develop the dashboard, and finally it will be opened up across the UK.

Founder of Unisocs, Joe Chamberlain, says: "We're very excited to launch later this year. To develop a product that will aid student study and to make it completely free is important to us, as students deserve all the tools necessary to get the most out of their degree. When you're paying £9000 a year on studying, software like ours should be accessible to all students, and that's exactly what we're doing".

We're in the early stages of a more exciting development, with more details to follow as it progresses. Keep checking back for regular updates.

Thanks!
