Welcome to the 2021 School of IT Virtual Showcase!
In 2020 we held the first Virtual Showcase as a consequence of the pandemic. 2021 has presented similar challenges, but in addition students did not have the benefit of formal, face-to-face on-campus engagement in the first few months of the year. From the start engagement has been virtual. This has presented additional challenges, especially to teamwork and collaboration where required.
Through the sterling effort and resourcefulness of students and staff (administrative, technical and academic) as well as the support and guidance of university management, we have arrived at this point where we can showcase what has been accomplished.
A variety of projects are on display, including those of 3rd year students who as part of their capstone course have worked in teams on Systems Development projects. Similarly there are solutions developed by Honours Systems Development and Research teams, as well as outputs from research conducted by Masters and PhD candidates.
The development projects mirror the diversity of environments in which information systems and technology can be employed to address real-world problem situations and bring about improvements. These range from well-established organizational settings to SMEs and entrepreneurial contexts, and from commercial to educational to not-for-profit and so on.
Similarly the research projects showcase cutting edge work done in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Games, Computer Graphics, Digital Libraries, Human-Computer Interaction, Cybersecurity, Information Systems in organisations and society, and many more.
We invite you to peruse the different projects on display and engage with the students!
