ABSTRACT

Interactive Student Planner is a mobile application that will be used by students of Wellspring University Irhirhi. The proposed system replaces the manual pen and paper plan used by students of the school. This would allow a student to select courses for a semester, keep track of homework due dates, create and manage project, create notes, create reports, prompts student for upcoming events, save and keep records of their grades and percentage performance. A student can send project report as email to the professor, upload and download files easily. The manual way of storing information is not effective, since the student is limited in what to write and how to keep it safe. The on-line application fixes all these limitations in the manual system.

A plan is an organized schedule that students create to outline time for activities, this can be done either by using the traditional method i.e. “pen and paper” or taking advantage of technological devices such as mobile phones or laptops. A planner is therefore a way or method for setting up a plan. The student activity plan usually includes a timetable which attaches the essence of time to each event. A planner is needed for efficient time management among students considering all distraction that university life might bring is important for success, therefore taking advantage of the android smartphone this project devises a way to help students manage their time and schedules on their phones. The study planner for android devices is developed with a Rapid Application Development methodology which allows software to be developed faster, quickly tested and produces early prototypes. The software tool for the project is Android Developer Tools (ADT), which is a plug in of eclipse; it is one of the standard tools for developing android applications. The result of this project is an installable android application that executes on android devices with operating system version 2.3.3 API level 10 above. The application saves the students classes, exams and study time tables and also reminding them of upcoming events. It is recommended that students who want to enhance their productivity in school should use this application.
