Creating Mobile Apps seems to be just this easy. I haven't contacted them to find out how much they want for their product, but the first glance at their web pages is very impressive.
They promise a Whoop App Agent installer by texting 'whoop' to 53000, but all efforts to get that failed. I was trying to see what apps were available and in particular see the new Red Cross app that was created in Whoop. I do not recommend this site. I am impressed with their presentation and intrigued with the concept that anyone can create apps for mobile phones.
Perhaps more later.

Our latest article on program assessment is out in the latest issue of Journal of Economic Education 42 (2).
Assessment of the Undergraduate Economics Major: A National Survey (co-authored with Drs. Nelson and Stratton) "reveals that nearly two-thirds of the departments have a formal assessment plan. There is substantial agreement on the most important student-learning outcomes, which are consistent with the Hansen proficiencies. The most common approaches that departments employ to measure learning outcomes are course-embedded assessments and senior exit surveys. Capstone courses and senior projects as program assessment methods are most common in departments that are not in business schools and are without doctoral programs. Finally, more than half of the departments have adjusted their curriculum based on the results of their own assessment plans."
I think one of the most important lines in the abstract above is : "There is substantial agreement on the most important student-learning outcomes ... consistent with the Hansen proficiencies."
