One of the common ways of checking that knowledge is impacted into students at every level of education is by giving various tasks to students and part of the responsibilities of the teacher is to give assignments to students and check the solution provided by the students. Increase in technology development involves a number of mobile applications that are being developed and released on a daily basis, out of which Android operating application is one of the dominant mobile application.
The main idea of this study was to develop an Android operating mobile application that allows the teacher to provide assignments to students and to easily track student involvement in providing complete and required solutions to the assignments. The application can be used anywhere because it’s mobile application.
The application allows the teacher to register, to add a course, add an assignment, update and delete an assignment, mark the assignment for the student with the correct assignment solution, check student assignment submission rate and check assignment completion rate. While the application allows the student to register, to enroll for the course, check available and submitted assignments and check assignment submission rate. The targeted group tentatively involved VAMK teachers and students.
The development of this application was carried out on Android Studio IDE using Java programming language and it involved designing and creating working database which is MySQL database for storing application data. Development of this application also involved writing PHP scripts that are located at the server side and these PHP scripts are used for communication between the application and database.
