Implementation of Timetable Scheduler Application Using FOSS

In every educational institution a schedule is followed by faculty and students to keep a track of time and schedule the activities right in place. It is not practical to remember the entire timetable assigned for the students. There are possibilities that a student misses the sessions, forgets the lecture hall or misses out on changed schedules. Hence, if there are any modifications in the timetable, alerts have to be communicated to the user through pop up messages stating the change of schedule and venue. The aim is to develop an android application with the purpose of helping the educational institutes plan, schedule and maintain regular classes following a specific time schedule. The proposed system is a fully functional system that takes care of all aspects related to managing the timetable schedule. Using the app, the students and the faculty would be able to login to their respective accounts and view the timetable. Students will receive a popup notification with details specifying the subject, time of lecture, lecture hall etc before a set time for every class. The faculty will also be able to update or cancel a class as per their convenience and make changes as per their necessity and the same would be communicated through pop up notifications. The application will be developed to ensure that it is user-friendly and highly customizable in nature.
