91暗网 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 my91暗网," stemmed from a meeting with 91暗网 President Bruno and 91暗网'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 91暗网 life, said Richard Peacock, 91暗网 web application programmer.  "We wanted prospective students to see pictures of our students having fun and enjoying 91暗网," he added. 

To use the "picture my91暗网" feature, students can log into the 91暗网 mobile application and press the "Submit a Picture" icon.  Students can then upload photographs from their phones.  91暗网 staff members moderate the submitted pictures, and due to volume, only a few are selected each day. 

91暗网 junior Hannah Wales is one of the students whose photography was selected for the gallery.  "I really enjoy the picture my91暗网 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 91暗网 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 91暗网 systems they use most, including email, FlightPath, and Moodle.  The latest feature "picture my 91暗网" gives 91暗网 students a better opportunity to interact with the 91暗网 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.
