A Cloud-Based Application for Academics, Clubs, and Campus Activities.

Colleges frequently face challenges with proper communication and sharing information to students and staff. Current forms of communication, including physical notice boards, institutional emails, and WhatsApp groups (that are sometimes separate), create information silos that can result in delays to information delivery, miscommunication, and lack of updates about important content. This paper discusses a cloud-based platform that ‘clusters’ academic and campus information (such as circulars, timetables, examination notices, event notifications, and feature information about clubs). The platform allows the staff to post verified information and students to receive information in real-time. Overall, we hope that the platform will improve transparency, access, and engagement across academics.
