ذكذكتسئµ web developers announce new mobile app feature

Life at the University of Louisiana at Monroe can now be experienced a new way—through user-submitted photos on the university's mobile app.

The app's new feature, "picture myذكذكتسئµ," stemmed from a meeting with ذكذكتسئµ President Bruno and ذكذكتسئµ's Computing Center Web Development team.

Current students can now submit pictures from their mobile phones to the app's mobile photo gallery, which anyone can access.

Having photos submitted by willing students gives the photo gallery an honest representation of ذكذكتسئµ life, said Richard Peacock, ذكذكتسئµ web application programmer.  "We wanted prospective students to see pictures of our students having fun and enjoying ذكذكتسئµ," he added. 

To use the "picture myذكذكتسئµ" feature, students can log into the ذكذكتسئµ mobile application and press the "Submit a Picture" icon.  Students can then upload photographs from their phones.  ذكذكتسئµ staff members moderate the submitted pictures, and due to volume, only a few are selected each day. 

ذكذكتسئµ junior Hannah Wales is one of the students whose photography was selected for the gallery.  "I really enjoy the picture myذكذكتسئµ feature because it gives me the opportunity to share my experiences around campus, and I feel honored to have my picture chosen on the gallery," said Wales.

The ذكذكتسئµ mobile app for the Apple iPhones and Androids was revealed last summer, and the mobile application allows students, faculty, and staff to access instantly the ذكذكتسئµ systems they use most, including email, FlightPath, and Moodle.  The latest feature "picture my ذكذكتسئµ" gives ذكذكتسئµ students a better opportunity to interact with the ذكذكتسئµ mobile app. 

"We also see it as a fun and fairly unique feature.  We are aware of only a handful of other college apps, nationwide, who have a similar service," said Peacock.
