Academic monitoring assistant application

Abstract

The Academic Monitoring Assistant Application will be an android based mobile application to help parents to monitor and supervise their children’s academics both at home and in holidays. It will have a knowledge bank (database) which will house the different topics according to subject and the level of education of the child i.e. senior 3 covering various subjects. From each topic selected by the child, the application will generate an objective exercise which will be used to test if the child has understood what he has read and on submission of the test, the application will give a feedback to the child as the score he has obtained e.g. 4/15 and will automatically send an email to the parent indicting the subject read, topic selected, score obtained from the exercise and the time spent reading thus enabling the parents to monitor their child’s academics. The application will have the capability to lock the phone if the child spends sometime without reading say a week and it will send a SMS alert to the parent that it has locked the phone. To unlock the phone, the parent will be required to insert in his secret code. Also when the child decides to uninstall the application, it will send a more active alert to the parent (SMS) that it has been uninstalled.
