Software Application for Disabled Students

Abstract

Modern universities across the world rely increasingly on information and communication technologies, both in their educational and research processes, and the management of academic databases. The android app "Virtual University" is a virtual platform designed especially to be used by students and is aimed at accessing, in real time, information connected with the subjects being studied (grades, announcements, notification), financial situation, as well as connecting with the secretariat of the university. The application allows each student to check their financial situation and to pay their educational fees and dues online. The app is meant as an expansion of existing functionalities within universities, and not as a replacement for them. Using the application may lead to an improvement in the quality of life, particularly for people with disabilities.
