MARA (Mobile Academic Research Application) is a mobile application that allows users to conduct research in the field, capture audio, video, and images, and save the media offline along with relevant metadata taken at the time of capture. When access to the internet is available, the saved media along with its metadata can be published in a WordPress blog at a click of a button whilst maintaining the integrity of the metadata.
The applications of MARA reach far and wide from helping teachers help students manage in-classroom research and assignments to assisting personal bloggers who want their media saved offline in their mobile device, appreciate certain metadata like tags, title, location info, date of capture, etc and are expecting to publish these information to a blog with ease and simplicity.
