This project aims to create a mobile application for students to learn and receive information if there was a case whereby online-schooling is required. The goal of the project is to have the application streamline the process of learning and receiving information from their teachers and professors if there was a case of mass isolation needed, such as the COVID-19 pandemic that affected schooling from 2020 to 2022 and beyond. The application is designed with the mindset that students may not have access to a laptop or home computer, but does have a smart phone, and that because of that, having a mobile application that helps with learning, would be more convenient for them than to have to go to a website that might not scale well with their phones. The hope is that students who are from less well-off families, who only have access to a smart phone in Singapore today, would not be disadvantaged as compared to their peers due to how online education systems are being built around computers rather than mobile devices.
