Design and Implementation of a Group Management Application System

This paper introduces a group management application system. One of the most important objectives of this system is letting the teacher know the current locations of students in real time. There are many cases where a teacher should know where students are but knowing the current locations of students is very difficult. For example, consider a field-trip of visiting a huge 5-story museum. Most of students disappear from the teacher’s sight within a few minutes after entering the museum. If the teacher knows the current location of a student, the teacher may advise the student to visit some educational exhibits near to the student. After the field trip, the teacher may analyze the traces of students to find out the exhibit that is the most attractive to the students. This paper reviews group management related researches and summarizes the desired features that a group management system should offer. Our implementation of a naïve group management prototype is discussed.
