Being in Melbourne since the beginning of February, I\u00b4ve learned how the University has been approaching technology in a very different way than Malm\u00f6 University.<\/p>\n<p>On the welcome reception to all overseas students, we were\u00a0taught, right from the beginning, that <em>we should immediately download some useful<\/em> <em>apps<\/em> that graduates at the Computing Department has been modelling. Here come some examples of them:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>1) Lost? No worries!\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Campuses in Australia are generally wider and more outspread in the city. It\u00b4s really easy to get lost, and I\u00b4ve experienced it myself quite often. However, an &#8220;app&#8221; has been developed in order to help students navigate through the many alleys and roads at the Campus. &#8220;Lost on Campus&#8221; has the answer for everything!<a href=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/studyabroad\/files\/2013\/04\/lost-on-campus-panda.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-206\" alt=\"lost-on-campus-panda\" src=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/studyabroad\/files\/2013\/04\/lost-on-campus-panda.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"71\" \/><\/a>map will indicate your directions and the approximate time you\u00b4ll be needed to reach your destination. Thanks to the GPS, it will walk with you too! But it\u00b4s not all!<\/p>\n<p>Through it you can even trade our old books, look for internships and events happening at the University and leave a &#8220;comment&#8221; that the University services will directly receive and answer. So if you\u00b4re planning on an exchange in Australia (the application works for the major campuses in Australia), &#8220;Lost on Campus&#8221; is the solution to most of your worries.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>2) Towards a safer university?
