1. INTRODUCTION

My Study Life is a free online planner for students, teachers and

lecturers designed to make your study life easier to manage.

My Study Life is a cross-platform planner for students, teachers and

lecturers designed to make your study life easier to manage. My Study Life
allows you to store your classes, homework and exams in the cloud making
it available on any device, wherever you are.

Unlike a paper planner or school diary, My Study Life integrates all areas
of your academic life - see homework due and overdue for classes, classes
which conflict with your exams and even add revision tasks for a specific
exam - all in a free, easy to use application. Far from your standard
calendar, My Study Life is optimized to work for your school life right
from the start with support for week and day rotation schedules. Add your
classes and view them in a beautiful, instantly identifiable, familiar week
view.

My Study Life seamlessly syncs your data between devices, allowing you
to use the app even when offline. You can add a task on the move from
your phone or tablet and it will be instantly available on the web
application.

This application is available for Android, iPhone, and Window devices as

well as for web, but for the sake of this project report, I will be planning
and executing tests only on an Android mobile device.

level. It is used to organize and plan the classes, exams, assignments,

rotations and even week rotations. Since all the data is synchronized
on web servers, the users don’t need to worry about data loss in case

extra revision session for Computing) or a recurring event with multiple occurrences.
Once the class has been created its type cannot be changed.

you track your revision progress using revision tasks. An exam belongs to a subject
and must have a date, start time and duration. All other fields such as module, seat
and room are optional.

 Academic Years, Terms and Holidays

An academic year and its terms are used to represent your school year and any terms
(semesters, trimesters, quarters etc.) that you may have. Both years and terms have
start end dates and are used to constrain a class to repeat between those start and end
dates.

 Timetable
User should see the option to add an academic year. An academic year
represents a school year (e.g. September 2015 – July 2016) and its terms
are used to segment that school year. When creating an academic year
user can tell My Study Life how their schedule works (fixed, week or day
rotation). You can read more about academic years and terms here.
