Abstract:

This study aims to create an android application that will help the teachers, professor and students to communicate well even they are out of the school. These will also bring a modernized way to upgrade the way of teaching and improve the collaboration of the class between each other also with their teacher. Because the proponent sees that when a student missed a class they will have a hard time to catch up because the teacher will not repeat or recall the past lessons. The developers presumed that creating an Android application called "MyMAC" or "My Mobile AIMS Classroom" will help and solve the issue and problem of the students that were not able to attend their class. This will serve as a social media connection between the students and professors for them to collaborate with each other. This application will help the professors to disseminate information regarding the topics that were discussed in the class and to further the lecture on the topic. The students can send a message to their professors if they have questions regarding the topic discussed. The teacher can also post the assignments and things to do of the students so they can be reminded about the next topics and since an android application is trendy and the students tend to open more often their smartphones rather than books they can always check their apps as long as they have their internet connection. One hundred and ten respondents are selected by the proponents using simple random sampling technique and those proponents gathered for a quick demonstration and allow testing the application. The results of the evaluation were tallied. Results showed that the application was excellent and effective considering the high ratings are given by the respondents as they are very satisfied with their features and functions.
