SmartStudent: A Curriculum Management System based on Android OS

Today mobile computing is being found everywhere across many areas including education. Many of the education-based application are focused towards student as the end-user. We as a student also wanted an application focusing on overall curriculum management of college with contribution of teachers as well. In this regard, we have developed and are testing a mobile application SmartStudent for use by both the student and the instructor in the classroom. SmartStudent application will allows student to have better interaction with the teachers and vice versa. It will allow teachers to take attendance, share file with students, and respond to student’s doubt. Student functionality includes the ability to interact with the instructor, check attendance, ask doubt and provide feedback on lectures. SmartStudent is designed with a cloud computing architecture. This paper will describe SmartStudent’s functionality and design, its use in the classroom, instructor experience and feedback on the tool, and future plans.
