FUTA commences test-run of student-developed app
The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) has initiated the test run of an application developed by one of its students.
In an official statement released today by Mr. Adegbenro Adebanjo, Deputy Director of Corporate Communications, the university announced the commencement of the pilot test phase for a software called TouchNut, created by a team led by Mr. Daniel Adeniyi, a 400 Level student in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
The primary purpose of TouchNut is to regulate entry and exit into the Albert Ilemobade Library, as well as monitor its activities.
Mr. Adeniyi explained that the software offers an easy-to-use identification system that enables the security unit to effectively monitor library operations.
TouchNut incorporates an intranet server containing students’ information and is equipped with a secure intranet connection.
One notable feature of TouchNut is its ability to streamline book borrowing for students.
The software tracks student cards and automatically notifies library staff about book returns on their respective due dates.
Ripples Nigeria gathered that the app eliminates the need for library staff to worry about tracking individual due dates, enhancing efficiency and convenience for both students and staff.
With the introduction of TouchNut, FUTA is embracing innovative solutions developed by its own students, showcasing the university’s dedication to fostering an environment of technological advancement and practical learning.
