Showcase
The Techrangers strive to develop new tools that will allow our team, Course Development and Web Services, and the University as a whole to complete various tasks more efficiently. In addition, we love the idea of sharing knowledge and, as a result, we have given presentations to students, campus IT professionals, and delegates from Universities throughout the country. Here is a listing of some of the initiatives that the Techranger team is currently working on or has worked on in the past. They have been categorized by what phase of our development cycle the projects currently belong to.
