Developing Application ProgramMing Interface (API) for Student Academic Activity Monitoring using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)

Abstract

Information about the progress of a student lecture is very important to know by parents. Generally, universities already have information systems that contain the data of lecturing process, but many of the information is not accessible by parents. Therefore, an application is needed to monitor student lecture activity that can be accessed directly by parents, so that when there is a change in student lecture activity, parents can directly know it. But to create such an application requires an Application ProgramMing Interface (API) that will facilitate the application to be able to interact with existing information systems and can send notification to parent. Delivery of notification to parents will use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) which will quickly notify parents without making the university cost. The API will be built using web protocol (http/https) and will act as an additional system that will run in conjunction with the ongoing academic information system.
