So, still no definite idea of what my 4yp is going to be .... I was thinking more about the idea i had previously and thinking it could be a good idea to make the application mobile. But after thinking about it further, I came to the conclusion that most mobile devices can browse the internet anyways.
More ideas came springing into my head as i thought about the calender application idea. If i was to integrate it into the MyDIT homepage, how about trying to make the homepage more personal altogether by letting the user change colours of their homepage and maybe allowing the user to move about the modules to what they desire.

Forth Year Begins
ok. so here I am. After passing all my exams (repeats) and surviving my time in Ericsson on work placement, I find myself stressing out after my total of two weeks of a break. The stress being that i am now in 4th year trying to decide what streams i want to do. I have a week and a half to decide, not much is it. not only that, I also have t have my project proposal in on the first week of october. So time to put the thinking cap on. Trying to relate courses to what i would need for the project is hard seeing that i can't decide on it all.
I have only had one idea for a 4th year project but i don't know if there is enough work in it to qualify. The idea came to me when i was complaining about the past years i had in DIT when it came to being organised, in particular, when the lecturers do not turn up to scheduled classes and they do not inform the students sufficently or at all. So my idea was to create a system to amend this, to inform students sufficently to one point of contact. I was thinking along the lines of an organiser that a student logs into, possibly when they log into their email accounts. The application could be presented in the form of a calander where a student could interact with and add notes etc. I could be personalised accordingly to the course and year they are in i.e. the classes they have and it could be populated into the calander appropriate to the correct day.
This is where the application becomes even more practical, when the lecturer is going to miss a class of needs to reschedule something, they could be able to send an alert update to all the students affected through a GUI. the alert could appear on the calender date (along with maybe an email alert?) and the student would be able to clearly see the update when checking their planner in the morning etc. ( another functionality i had in mind would be that an alert would be sent to the contact numbers of the students affected).
So thats all i have for now. Need to do more brainStorming and come up with more ideas. Dame the FYP !!!! GURRRR
