Study Time - An Android Based Mobile Learning Application

Abstract

The main objective of this thesis work was to develop a mobile learning applica-tion that would make it possible for the users to study or learn on their own by attempting examination, such as questions from different subject areas. This will allow an individual user to refresh his or her knowledge in these subject areas. Timing is included so that a user can monitor how quick they are while answering those questions. The result of the examination is displayed to the user after the completion of the exam and can be viewed under history for future reference. The application can also be used in schools and other learning institutions. Teachers can give instructional materials and set homework or test questions for students to attempt and submit with the use of their mobile phones. The application consists of client side and server side. Client side is made up of graphical user interfaces (GUI) which the user interacts with. The server side of the application consists of PHP script to query database for different requests. The data are stored on MySQL database. The application is currently developed for Android mobile devices running minimum of Android 2.2, API level 8.
