Development of a tool based on mobile services in a WiFi network as support of tutorial activity
This paper describes the design and development of an application based on mobile services using a WiFi network as support of tutorial activity. One of the main objectives was to design a tool with bidirectional communication between tutors and students to support the comprehensive training of universitary students considering tutoring as a process of support in their academic life. The mobile application was developed natively for the Android platform because of the advantages offered by this technology such as access to platform resources in a straightforward manner and coupled with the benefits provided by current complementary tools such as Apache server, PHP, JSON and MySQL. To develop this application a methodology named D-mobile was used, which is an agile development methodology that we consider appropriate to our context, given the requirements and resources of our development team.
Keywords: Android app, M-Service, Mobile service, Tutorial session.
