Applying Google Cloud Messanging Technology in Conveying Information for UniKL BMI Communication Technology section

Abstract

In universities, the old school way to display messages regarding exam dates, special events and class cancellations are on noticeboards. But sticking up and removing the various notices every day is cumbersome. Do the students read the notices? How about torn notices? Is the posted notice authentic? There are so many issues regarding the relevancy of using noticeboards in order to convey message. Thus, the usage of push notification service can overcome these problems. With the advent of mobile and pervasive computing era, smartphones became important. Everybody owns it. In conjunction with the statement, a study that uses push notification service is developed. The service will be tested to UniKL-BMI’s Communication Technology Section staff and students. Messages will be sent by administrator to students through Google Cloud Messaging services. By having such system, information can easily be broadcasted and student will never miss any information send to them.
