Most novice programmers consider learning to program as a difficult and challenging field of study for them. As a result, high dropout and failure rates in programming one courses reported. One of the reasons is that most programming (1) courses don’t give equal attention to syntax and semantics of programming language and algorithmic thinking. In this study, a web application based on Problem Analysis and Algorithmic Model (PAAM) was prepared and acquainted in the programming (1) course. The application focuses on problem analysis and algorithmic thinking. The influence on genders' opinion after offering the PAAM model in the programming (1) course determined by organizing a survey. The mean values of the male and female survey respondents compared by performing the T-test. The purpose is to determine if there is any significant difference between the mean values. Results show that students appreciated the web application in the programming (1) course. Male students discerned more positive responses in the survey questions compared to female students. The T-test result shows a significant difference between the values of respondents because the p-value for equal variances assumed is (.000), which is less than p = 0.05. The application encourages a new approach based on four steps (problem statement → problem analysis → problem-solving skills → code) for novices. The application helps students to understand programming structures, program design and comprehension.

Technology is developing and changing in every moment that all domains are patchy without it. Our research utilizes the current trends and technology to design and develop a mobile application for the all members of the college. The students are the fundamental members in the college and they are our targets. Mobile notification system is an emerging technology, which influence in solving various dimensions of life. The college announcements and events are disseminated to students and staff through circulars, notice boards, emails, etc. Our research was to employ mobile affinity of especially students who ignore the circulars and notifications in notice board. The tool may be installed from play store mobile. The tool supports the widely used mobile operating system like android and iphone. This tool helps and provides a flexible way for communication. It list all events and news at AlBuraimi University College (BUC) like announcement of training courses and scientific workshop or classes cancel and others events. It also helps in easy access of college portal for both students and staff. The evaluation held finds positive response towards the need of this mobile application. The result shows the interest and satisfaction of users with BUC NEWS mobile application tool
