Abstract :
The paper describes architecture of a prototype networked student information delivery system. Main system functionalities include interactive access to lecture room timetables and group messaging. The system exploits modern mobile technologies to allow flexible usage scenarios. The use of open APIs of telecommunications service delivery platforms in combination with e-mail messaging provides diverse ways of system information delivery. The perceived application scenario of the system is to provide ubiquitous access to up-to-date lecture room timetables and reliable ways of notifying the affected users about changes.
