With the second day of the ongoing event Technologic ’08, students of Information Technology department demonstrated their capabilities through technology related exhibits today.

The application-based software presentations that were held by the students yesterday were on display today for the visitors to observe the technical aspects and working of their creations. Few among the many noteworthy exhibits were the ‘Digiplacement’, ‘Alumni and Community Portal’ and ‘Multimedia Based e-Learning.’

“We designed Digiplacement program for a recruiting purpose,” says Jazeera, a third year student of Information Technology in collaboration with her team member Sabah Khan. Describing the project in brief, she says, “It provides an opportunity for students by allowing institutions and companies to easily track deserving students.”

The ‘Alumni and Community Portal’ is a combined brainchild of Disha Shetty and Nandini Sreekumar, third year students of the same department. It is an online portal for all graduated students of IT department to be in touch with each other. Asked about the release date of the portal, Disha says, “It will be linked to http://www.mahedubai.com/ officially in May 2008.”

‘Multimedia Based e-Learning’ was one among the many appealing projects in the exhibition. The aim of the project is to automate the process of organizing lecture notes and study material by the faculty and create e-learning resources from them, for the purpose of distribution amongst the faculty and students for reference purpose.

Now, the students impatiently wait for the prize distribution that awards the students with the best project display. Students and faculty will assemble at 3:00pm for the results in the auditorium today. Look out for further updates on the winning team on this blog.
