19. 6. Preparation For the Next Webometric Ranking
 The term webometric is a coinage from two modern English language
words, “web” and “metric.”
 The Webometric ranking of the World’s universities done by
Cybermetrics Lab is based on metrics such as web size, rich files,
Google Scholar and link (visibility).
 Webometric is based on two indicators:
 a. Volume of published materials of institutions/individual on the web,
 b. The visibility and impact of the web pages measured by the sitation
(site citations) or links they receive.

20.  Other Skills
 Interpersonal Skills in relating with colleagues, Staff as
well as clients
 Analytical Skills for problem Identification, analysis
and providing solutions.
 Managerial Skills
 Communication Skills

21. Recomendations
The recommendation will be directed to the three stakeholders
of the program; the students, institution and ITF.
A. ITF
ITF should make monthly allowance available for students at
time due so as to put an end to financial difficulties that may
arise during the course of the program.

22. B. STUDENT
The idea of the program as “just” SIWES should be
corrected as it is a major step towards developing any
career.
Prospective students should seek internship in
establishment with goals similar to their Aim.
Students should prepare themselves technically for the
challenge of the IT world.
Students should show positive disposition to all tasks
that they may be assigned during the industrial
training
Students should start surveying potential companies
early so that the difficulties of finding placement will
be combed.

23. C. INSTITUTION
 The University should try to collaborate with some industries
in order to get easy placement for students.
I. The following are suggested to improve Fountain
University Wireless network
 There should be a dedicated bandwidth for student wireless
net work
 A stable power supply should be ensured for the NOC to
prevent the network from going down
 Ensure internet connectivity in the University by Using
Mikrotic Grooves and Omni directional Antennas for
distribution of network to Various Access point in the
university
 The university should ensure a proper Monitoring and
maintenance of the University wireless network

24. ii. The following are suggested to improve
Fountain University Website visibility
Establish aWeb Unit to manage the school website
Ensure the university website is updated regularly
The University Website should have a mobile phone
version because about 60% of Internet users in Nigeria
now access the internet through mobile devices
The use of RSS feeds so that other websites can subscribe
to site updates from fountain website
Create a sub domain for all colleges, and units in the
university
Language translation options should be enabled for
internationalization of the University e.g. Arabic,
French, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Dutch etc.

25. Use online polls to gather more information on
what the people want from the site
 Advertise the university website with adsword
 Register the website on applications such as
Google Map, Google Scholar
Online journal systems should be deployed for the
hosting of journals within the university web
domain.
The website videos, seasonal banners and social
media links should be included on the website.
