Edu-Droid is an android application that helps students enhances their knowledge through practicing. Through this application, students can download, complete and submit their practice papers with their smartphones and attempt the questions regardless of place and location. The questions will be first graded by the system, and then followed by a qualified educator, and upon completion, the system will send back the graded practice papers back to the students for them to review their mistakes and look at the comments given. Edu-droid is also able to help students identify their strengths and weaknesses by collating all attempted questions and display the percentage of correct and wrong answers in the form of charts. Through this, students can better allocate their time to practice more in their weak areas, and assessors can also post better and individualized comments for each student through the system. However, improvements can be made to the application to make it more rounded and interesting for the user. This includes the implementation of forums, integration of additional subjects up to junior college level and incorporation of interesting quizzes that allow students to compete with one another in real time. As such, iterative development should be made with respect to the suggested areas, making the application more interactive and user friendly.
