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

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

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