Governments the world over are increasingly challenging universities to produce human resources with the right skills sets and knowledge required to drive their economies in this twenty-first century. It therefore becomes important for universities to produce graduates that bring tangible and meaningful contributions to the economies. Graduate tracer studies are hailed to be one of the ways in which universities can respond and reposition themselves to the actual needs of the industry. It is against this background that this study was conducted to establish the relevance of the Department of Information and Communication Technology at Mzuzu University to the Malawian economy by systematically investigating occupations of its former students after graduating from the University. The study adopted a quantitative design by distributing an online-based questionnaire with predominantly closed-ended questions. The study focused on three key objectives: to identify key employing sectors of ICT graduates, to gauge the relevance of the ICT programme to its former students’ jobs and businesses, and to establish the level of satisfaction of the ICT curriculum from the perspectives of former ICT graduates. The key findings from the study are that the ICT programme is relevant to the industry. However, some respondents were of the view that the curriculum should be strengthened by revising it through an addition of courses such as Mobile Application Development, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Data Mining, and LINUX Administration to keep abreast with the ever-changing ICT trends and job requirements. The study strongly recommends the need for regular reviews of the curriculum so that it is continually responding to and matches the needs of the industry.

Collaboration in research is essential for saving time and money. The field of high-energy physics (HEP) is no different. The higher level of collaboration the stronger the community. The HEP field encourages organizing various events in format and size such as meetings, workshops and conferences. Making attending a HEP event easier leverages cooperation and dialogue and this is what makes Indico service defacto a community standard. The paper describes HEPCon, a cross-platform mobile application which collects all information available on Indico and makes it available on a portable device. It keeps most of the data locally which speeds up the interaction. HEP-Con uses a shared code base which allows easy multiplatform development and support. There are iOS and Android implementations available for free download. The project is based on C# and we use the Xamarin mobile app technology for building native iOS and Android apps. SQLite database is responsible for retrieving and storing conference data. The app can be used to preview data from past CHEP conferences but the tool is implemented generic enough to support other Indico events.

The benefits of the BYOD (Bring Your Oun Device) approach is describes. This approach contributes to greater efficiency of business processes and economy of the enterprise budget. The necessity of focusing on the problem of information security is substantiated. As a solution, a mobile application is proposed that allows to identify the user and distribute security policies to the device. The following describes the problems that arise in the process of solution – problems of transferring data from a mobile device to the storage, the problem of centralized storage of incoming data, assignment of geolocations available for working with the application, and a problem of cross-platform. Further, the task is formulated – to design and develop a universal solution to these problems, since there is no single, universally accessible solution that would satisfy all the described requirements. The next part of the article describes the model of the proposed system, gives its general description in a formalized and graphical form. The article also provides an image and description of the system architecture, consisting of three main parts: IOS client, Android client and server. The advantages of the developed client-server architecture are highlighted: security and centralized access to data. The architecture of each individual part is described with a specification and justification for the choice of libraries and technologies used. The following describes the operation of the system, presents a sequence diagram of the client requests during authorization and receiving a set of policies for a new user, and BPMN diagram of the business process for obtaining Android agent data. Thus, the resulting solution will reduce the cost of administration of mobile devices in a corporate environment.

The Laboratory information system is one of the information systems that was built by the BSTI of Polytechnic Caltex Riau to provide information about laboratory lending. This system is also being intended to the person who is in charge of approving laboratory lending such as the head of the laboratory, and laboratory assistant in case of monitoring some of the laboratories that are lent. However, the features provided by this information system are not enough to support the process of laboratory lending. Therefore, a mobile application with the quality of Cross-Platform was built, in other words, it can be used on iOS and Android platforms. One of the technologies that can be used to build a cross-platform application is the React Native. This application was built with a prototype method that is used to get more perspective points from users with interviews and can simplify the development of this application to be effective. This application was developed with Laravel, Firebase Authentication, and MySQL. Because there are several problems with the old system, an application that offers several solutions consists of avasisten instruktur laboratoriumbility in the lending laboratory, receiving legal paper of laboratory lending, and receiving notification were developed in this study. The main feature provided in this application is the evidence letter of laboratory lending that doesn’t have to be printed so that can reduce paper usage. As a result, 94.1% of respondents stated that this application’s features can run well and make it easy for college students to propose laboratory lending.

In this article, we describe our students-as-partners process for bringing undergraduate and academic staff together to develop a mobile application (app) - CampusFlora - for use across our campuses. Our project at the University of Sydney, Australia, was conceived as a way to improve the botanical literacy of biology students by engaging undergraduates to develop online maps of plant locations coupled with information relevant to biology curriculum. Through continuous improvements to the CampusFlora app system, we have expanded the user-base well beyond the life  science student cohorts and now offer content that embraces cultural competence and organisational health initiatives. We offer reflections from student and staff partners on the project that highlight the value of the students-as-partners approach, and the potential value of establishing student partnerships across disciplines, across institutions, and into the community at large.

Background: Sufficient physical activity (PA) lowers poor health outcomes, with data showing these protective effects in populations under varying levels of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. The advent of online PA programmes has created novel opportunities to offset the deleterious effects of inactivity. However, data are limited and the readiness and acceptance of such technology is unknown. These authors nevertheless noted an opportunity to investigate this approach based on promising emerging data at the time of the hard lockdown in South Africa. Objective: This exploratory study investigated the engagement and perceptions of a smartphone application to promote health and fitness in a sample of employees at a South African university. Methods: Employed members of staff (n=15) of the University of the Witwatersrand were recruited through email invitation during the hard Level 5 COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Individualised home-based PA programmes were prescribed through a mobile application for a period of eight weeks. Researchers qualified in Biokinetics provided online supervision of the exercise sessions during the intervention. Participants were asked to complete a self-reported questionnaire about their use of the application. Thematic analysis was used to understand these responses. Results: Lack of motivation was perceived to have a negative effect on participation in the online PA programme. Only one participant reported using the mobile application consistently during the study period, while half of the participants reported having trouble with the usage of the application. The participants frequently mentioned the need for technical support and further engagement from the clinicians supervising the PA programme to ensure use and progression. Staff identified issues with connectivity and already having too many phone applications (apps) amongst the reasons for the technical difficulties. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the challenges and potential for the uptake of online PA interventions during COVID-19 and, despite its small sample size, the data provide important lessons learned that will be used as information in further investigations.
