1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Today, the world is full of
technologies; there are lots of inventions made to use the latest
technologies. To be specific on technology, Mobile phones have been a
part of our everyday use where we share lots of information through this
communication channel. Nowadays, android system is becoming more
popular, especially in the Smartphone market. Because there are some of
the development tools which is available free are used to generate many
applications in an android platform. The main reason for its popularity
is, it also provides a very convenient hardware platform for developers
(Umar ManzoorI, 2014).
The advancement of technology today has
immersed itself towards education. The presence of technology has
reached its maximum of providing sustainable technology towards quality
education through delivery and effective learning. It helps to develop
more advanced economies, and now it can be used for spending our leisure
time. Social desires towards educational leadership in economics and
academic matters rely on upon the integration of technology in each
aspect of society (Marsha, 2012). The Tai Solarin University of
Education is one of the state owned institutions that embrace
information and communication technology now. As they immersed
themselves with technology through their delivery towards academic
excellence and other forms brought about by information technology.
Rapid
growth and popularity of smart phones had made mobile applications
integration into a new way of learning, teaching and passing of
information, causing the majority of scholars to research. How to make
students get information as quick as possible by the way of mobile is a
time of great significance for research. The mobile student result
notification integration based on Androidhas been proposed.
The
current academic environment is dominated by the use of advanced
communication technologies. Such technologies are used extensively by
students and staff at institutions of higher learning for accessing and
disseminating information. A closer look at the gadgets around us, it is
clear that we are becoming more comfortable with wireless communication
systems; there is no doubt that the world is moving towards wireless
communication. It’s significant to note (Song and Lee’s, 2012) study of
mobile device ownership among international business students, which
shows clearly that close to 82% students owned smartphones. Olatokun
(2008) observes that “Mobile phones have become an inseparable part
ofeveryday life”. Mobile devices have become more attractive mainly
because of the availability ofe-commerce related applications and the
ease with which one can access desired information from anywhere
anytime. The real impetus for the mobile devices started with the
arrival of web 2.0 applications especially the active participation of
the user towards the web which has pushedthe growth of mobile devices in
academic institutions. When we look at the different gadgets used
around us it’s obvious to note most of them are wireless. “Everywhere we
go we cannot help but notice the number of mobile devices being used;
cell phones, iPods, iPads, android devices, MP3 players, GPS systems,
blackberries and even mini-laptops”. Jacobs (2009) observes that “mobile
access is the remediation of wireless internet”.
Students, being the relatively younger generation, are more likely to be familiar and early adopters of new technology. However, technology is only a tool and can thus be a double-edged sword. The use of technology, while making learning more interactive and thus more attractive to younger generations has also the potential to deter them to be physically present for learning activities (Gomis et.al, 2011).
Nowadays, mobile phones and internet are indispensable factors of our daily life. This reality played a very important role in coming up with the proposed mobile alert/notification system. This service provides a means to alerts or notify the student whenever an update occurs at the website in terms of push notification. There are other mechanisms through which users of the app could get the update about release of result, through short messaging service (SMS), e-mail subscriptions etc but this research work shall be focusing on the most recent form of delivering update to users of mobile application which is Push Notifications.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Students have to search the internet
each time to know about any news updates like fee payment dates, exam
results etc. in the university or department result website. The project
entitled “Mobile Student Result Notification System” is a system which
sends latest news updates from the department website to student in form
of push notifications. The system is developed so that students do not
miss out on any alert and save their valuable time rather than the usual
method of time-to-time checking whether the results have been uploaded
to the website or not as they will also be able to check these results
without having any course to visit the website.
1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aim of this project is to develop a
mobile based result notification application, which will be highly
efficient for the process of retrieving necessary information pertaining
to every relevant notification about the student results. The
objectives are:
• To design and implement a mobile application system, which is user friendly and can provide up to date information.
•
To evaluate the performance of the developed software application on
users mobile devices by installing the application on respective
students device.
• To get users review of current software i.e.
including a contact page in the application which will enable
users/students to send feedbacks, complaints and suggestions to the
administrator as this would be needed in improving the system in
subsequent updates.
1.4 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY
The outcome of the study “Mobile
Student Result Notification System”, will provide a range of benefits in
the ease of access of information to students. Some of the benefits are
listed below:
1. Enable students to have access to real time information.
2. Instant notification about information relating to their result via push messages.
3. Ability to check their result without having any cause to visit any website.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The study is significant has it
helps to integrate modern day technology to the university system. It
gives and improves key indications on developing an electronic
information system.
The project is quite significant in its nature
because of the various advantages mobile technology poses; in the design
of the system it keeps student abreast of instant notification about
their results and other relevant news.
1.6 METHODOLOGY
The project would be developed, using an iterative
development methodology getting user’s specification. Also at intervals
a sample prototype would be installed on user’s phone, to help get
additional user’s requirement during the course of development.
The
following methods would be applied during the course of this project,
the method for collecting requirement specifications would include;
• Investigation into the current system in use and the processes involved.
• Conduct information gathering from students, lecturers, and staffs in the department
• Implement a prototype system that will meet the user’s specification (students).
The implementation stage will include coding, testing and installation on different android platforms.
The following technologies / Languages would be used during implementation or development
• Programming language: Ionic Framework, AngularJS and PHP
- Database variant: MYSQL
- SMS API
- Target Mobile platform: Android operating system.
