网曝门 web developers announce new mobile app feature

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

The app's new feature, "picture my网曝门," stemmed from a meeting with 网曝门 President Bruno and 网曝门'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 网曝门 life, said Richard Peacock, 网曝门 web application programmer.  "We wanted prospective students to see pictures of our students having fun and enjoying 网曝门," he added. 

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

网曝门 junior Hannah Wales is one of the students whose photography was selected for the gallery.  "I really enjoy the picture my网曝门 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 网曝门 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 网曝门 systems they use most, including email, FlightPath, and Moodle.  The latest feature "picture my 网曝门" gives 网曝门 students a better opportunity to interact with the 网曝门 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.
