Measures to Improve UDSM Website Visibility
University of Dar es Salaam is taking the following measures to improve its web-based performance.
(i) Reinforcing university web visibility:
Each department/unit is to design a dynamic website/page with the minimum defined requirements and open access. The departmental website should contain among other things, programmes offered, course materials, all dissertations titles and short abstracts, sports and students’ services. Open discussion forums on a wide range of topics are another way of building the visibility of the website.
(ii) Building popularity of the university website:
The university has to build and maintain the quality of the website, constantly and periodically update it by including most recent or on-going activities that attract national and international interests; example, capturing events during the Julius Nyerere Intellectual Festival Week on daily basis.
(iii) Effective compilation and display of UDSM intellectual outputs:
It includes number of citations, publication by UDSM staff in major journals and periodicals; UDSM based authored and reviewed books, number of consultancy works, workshops/ seminars organized policy briefs, conference papers and teaching manuals. All of these have to be made available on the web at the unit level.
(iv) Displaying the quality of UDSM staff and alumni:
Alumni and UDSM staff recipients of international awards - Nobel Prizes and Field Medals and merits have to be visible. UDSM Alumni with international acclaim as heads of state, heads of big international organizations and others should be visible on the UDSM level website. The display should also contain UDSM staff members who were previously scholars of Rhodes, Fulbright, UNU, and other equally prestigious international awards.

 

[Ruge Opinion]

Hii URAP ranking is a bit suspect. Haijajieleza credibility yake. Pamoja na Tanzania kuwa na universities/colleges nyingi wame-rank tatu tu: UDSM, MUHAS na SUA ambazo ni public universities. Maana yake ni kwamba hawana taarifa za kutosha kuhusu Tanzania (hawakufanya research) au wanaokoteza information kutoka rankings zingine. TCU inapaswa kufanya utafiti na kutayarisha local ranking ya vyuo hapa TZ kwa kutumia vigezo dhahiri.
