Design and Implementation of a Mobile Application for Project Assessment and Presentation for Tertiary Institution

Abstract

The use of mobile applications (apps) has become popular in recent times due to its usefulness in several areas of everyday life such as communication, social media, shopping, banking, and education.   With increasing interest in making educational activities such as learning and communication between students and academic staff (lecturers) as easy and convenient as possible, software developers have designed and implemented different mobile apps to address specific academic activities.   This paper focuses on designing and implementing a mobile app for tertiary institution project assessment and presentation.  The proposed mobile app encompasses features that facilitate project submission, peer review, and instructor’s assessment thus fostering a collaborative and technologically enriched learning environment.  The mobile app was developed using the iterative waterfall model with the implementation phase leveraging contemporary mobile app development frameworks and methodologies in other to realize the desired designed features.  Preliminary results obtained from the mobile app testing and usage by a sampled group indicated improved efficiency in project evaluation, increased student engagement, and a positive impact on the overall learning experience.
