Developing mobile-based academic information system: A case study at Islamic State University (UIN) Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta

Abstract

Application of academic information system designed to support teaching and learning activities will be undertaken by universities in Indonesia. State Islamic University (UIN) Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta has implemented web-based academic information system that is accessible to the academic community through the Internet network, namely the Academic Information System (AIS). Development of information technology has made access to the Internet more flexible, especially through mobile devices. AIS can also be accessed through a variety of devices, but this system would perform optimally when accessed via the Personal Computer (PC) or laptop. AIS accessing via mobile devices has limitations in terms of display and interaction with the web-based system. Therefore, the research focuses on developing mobile-based academic information system to make AIS data center. This application will be devoted to the two types of users, namely students and lecturers as they are the most frequent users of the system and choose the phonegap framework as the manufacture of mobile applications. Thus, the academic community will find it easier to access academic information systems via mobile devices. This study shows that AIS mobile version has made AIS become user-friendly and easy to use application for the proposed users.
