STUDENT-LECTURER INTERACTIVE CHAT (SLIC)

Project Abstract

The Student - Lecturer Interactive Chat (SLIC) application is a comprehensive software solution designed to streamline communication and resource management within an academic environment. This system caters to three primary user roles: administrators, lecturers, and students. Administrators oversee the system's functionalities, including managing user accounts, sharing announcements, and accessing comprehensive reports. Lecturers use the system to share course materials, organize classes, and engage with students through announcements and group discussions. Students interact with the system to access learning resources, participate in discussions, and receive important notifications about class schedules and school events. Implemented using Flutter for the frontend and PHP with MySQL on the backend via XAMPP, the SLIC offers a user-friendly interface accessible through both web and mobile applications. Key features include real-time messaging, course material distribution, user authentication, and forum-based discussions for each course. The system is designed to enhance collaboration, improve access to information, and optimize communication between all members of the school community.

Research Area

Mobile App Development: Mobile App Development research in Computer Science and Information Technology focuses on the design, development, and optimization of software applications for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. This area covers a wide range of topics, including user interface design, cross-platform development, mobile operating systems, performance optimization, and security. One key aspect of research in this area is the development of efficient algorithms and frameworks that enable seamless cross-platform compatibility. Researchers explore ways to create apps that function smoothly on multiple operating systems, such as Android and iOS, using a single codebase, reducing development time and costs. This is often achieved through the use of frameworks like React Native, Flutter, and Xamarin. User experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design are critical components of mobile app development research. Scholars in this field investigate how to create intuitive, responsive, and engaging interfaces that improve usability and enhance the overall user experience. This includes studying interaction patterns, accessibility, and how users interact with mobile apps across different devices and environments.

Project Main Objective

• The general objective is to develop a comprehensive School Communication Platform (SCP) that enhances communication, simplifies resource management, and improves the overall user experience for students, lecturers, and administrators.
