Attention, students who find it challenging to get their hands on lecture notes, assignments, and even old tests from their classes; students who don't have easy access to the resources they need to study efficiently, and who are at risk of performing poorly in school: You can look forward to the launch of听Course Buddy.
Course Buddy (an Online Platform for Sharing Course Materials) is the brainchild of Aliyu Suleiman and Asuku Onukaba. They were supervised by Professor Alexey Videshchev.
Course Buddy was one of the many projects presented by SITC seniors at the School's 15th SDP/SRP Poster Presentation on Friday, April 28, 2023, in the lobby of the Commencement Hall. This project aims to create a centralized repository or platform where students can share and access high-quality course materials for various disciplines. In terms of expected use, Course Buddy is primed to provide a shared space where current and former students can access each other's files and information to promote learning and improve academic outcomes.
Another exciting project was "Effective Methods for Protecting Personal Data while Using Social Networking Applications." It was presented by Chidera Enwerem and supervised by Dr. Yakubu Saheed Kayode. This app aims to end social network vulnerability to cyberattacks and data breaches, which can result in the disclosure of private data to unauthorized parties. It will activate and provide reliable data security strategies when using social networking applications. One of the attractive features of the app is the identification and evaluation of the risks connected with users' personal information being shared via social networking applications.
The authors expect this app to be accepted as a novel approach to securing user information in social networking apps.
Edwin Esua, Innocent Ishaku, and Onyedikachi Nzerem, supervised by Dr. Augustine Nsaang, presented "A Web-Based Market-Place Application" by the name of "Stallion Market." This market is already in place physically and holds on campus fortnightly, but the authors identified several issues with the current marketing infrastructure, including the fact that it is not user-friendly for students, businesses, or consumers.
Having ascertained that it is difficult for students and new business owners to promote their products and services while long-term business owners in AUN face low sales and slow growth due to a lack of exposure for their wares caused by disorganized and poorly targeted advertising, their project set out with a two-step solution: a user-friendly e-commerce platform, dubbed 鈥楽tallion Market鈥�, for young entrepreneurs on the AUN campus; and constant monitoring and evaluation of Stallion Market's performance, to enhance the platform's features and functionalities.
When adopted, "Stallion Market" would simplify things for sellers as they can easily sign up and list their wares
"Products, customers, orders, and payments should be managed inside the framework of the system. Vendor and customer records, product specifications, and purchase history must all be kept", the authors explained.
"How Information Systems Has Impacted Modern Agriculture in Gombe State, Nigeria, A Case Study of Akko Local Government in Gombe State, Nigeria" was an ambitious study examining the Effects of Information Systems on Contemporary Agriculture. It was authored by Abdulsalam Ahmed and supervised by Dr. Rabiu Ibrahim. This study assessed how agricultural modernization and information systems had affected Nigeria using Akko L.G. in Gombe State as a focal point. It also studied technological progress, potential repercussions, opportunities and proposed policy reforms for Nigerian agriculture.
Other exciting presentations on the day include: "A Web-Based Management System for Use At AUN's Cafeteria and Coffee Shop" by Edidiong Ben and Daniel Ugbudia, supervised by Videshchev; "Automated Timetable Generator" by Vahelya Yohanna, Nwagu Zikora, and Aisha Ibrahim, supervised by Professor Abel Ajibesin; "Application Based System Of Course Management Guide For AUN Students" by Clinton Chuks, Tofunmi Matthews, and Adamu Jauro, and supervised by Professor Videshchev.
