Mobile computing is used effectively to improve instructional quality and integrate information technologies into instruction to enhance teaching efficiency and effectiveness. This study describes a system called Mobile Student Information System (MSIS) based on mobile computing and context-aware application concepts, which purpose is to provide more user-centric information services to students. Different services are proposed in this system combining location-aware and context-sensitive information services for the students at the university. Feedback gathered from the students through a survey based on usage of early versions of the system has been guiding the directions and design of the current solution. For any student it is important to have up to date information about current exercise assignments, lectures, upcoming appointments and other daily activities. This is especially true for new students who are still unfamiliar with current routines and practices. |
