 ABSTRACT

This study is on design and implementation of lecture reminder system.

Lecture Reminder is a tool that permits academic students and lecturers to

keep track of all the things you need to know like due dates and locations.

The aim of the study is to design and implement a Lecture Reminder

System that will notify students and lecturer about the scheduled lecture

date. In achieving this aim, the specific objectives were set out to develop a

Lecture Reminder System application software that will be compatible in

any browser accessible devices, and implement a system that will facilitate

early notification / reminder of scheduled lecture date, design a system that

will flexible in terms of serving as a reminder toward rescheduling of an

impromptu lecture by course lecturer, thereby notifying students about the

new venue and time of lecture, develop a system that helps out the staff to

make their message receive are more manageable and easy to the check

their task within the system, build a system that give alert message using

SMS application at the same time make things easier for staff and lecturer

to check their lecture scheduled date and venue. The motivation that led to

the implementation of the proposed system is that academic staff and

lecturers forgets an appointment that has been arranged, thereby not

teaching / lecturing the course for the schedule date, some Students omits

lecture classes due to wrong scheduled venue and time as a result of an

impromptu change of venue and time, and lack of compatible devices to

execute the existing application software, hence the new system will be

designated for all browser accessible devices with data required. Lecture

Reminder System has many features that very helpful to the user. The first

that can be described is calendar system. Calendar will be use as a

reference to the dates and the days that users are going to set. The user

can view the current date and month or the previous and next month

calendar, the system will also help to arrange the lecture with furtherance

to their order of priority.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

Lecture Reminder is a tool that permits academic students and lecturers to

know like due dates and locations. Lecture Reminder has turned to be a

very important tool in time management and it is a common saying in time

management that it is better to keep track of things using a system rather

than your memory. A Lecture Reminder System is important for busy

people because we do not have to remember all our academic works, and

writing them down somewhere is not a very good idea because then we

have to keep track of that piece of paper. The Reminder System lets you

“set and forget” and then gets reminded when the lecture time comes and

so it becomes a perfect tool for lecturers and students.

As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the

background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems

that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are

Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitation of the study and

Definition of technical terms.

According to Wikipedia (2021), lecture reminder software is a type of time

management computer software that is designed to alert the user of

important events that they have input to the program. Most programs
provide a calendar or list view of events, as well as a reminding technique.

Most common reminding techniques are pop-up dialog boxes and auditory

alarms (Wikipedia, 2021).

Events may include birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, various one-time

events. Often the software comes with a set of pre-installed events (such as

holidays) and allows the user to create custom events. As software has

made the transition to web services, a number of online reminder services

have appeared. Users subscribed to those services usually receive their

reminders by email or SMS. Context-aware reminder systems can set

reminders based on the user’s current location (Wikipedia, 2021).

Modern mobile devices such as smartphones have become increasingly

powerful and also part of day-to-day lives of the people. As mobile devices

become more like PCs they will come to replace objects we tend to carry

around such as planners, to do list etc. and also help in accomplishing our

daily tasks. (Divya et al, 2012)

The increasing growing in the popularity of the android devices is part of

the few reasons I decided to choose this platform for the implementation of

this project. Lecture time table reminder system is an application which is

meant to prevent users (both students and lecturers) from being forgetful

about the lecture they have according to the information they have

entered.
Therefore, in Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, Imo State where the

research was carried out, the activities that was conducted is to implement

the Lecture Reminder System.
