Summary

It is generally accepted that the smart mobile phone has now evolved into an integral tool, due to the development of various applications and related mobile software technologies that have evolved into an industry with great appeal. At the same time, it is commonly accepted that many innovative ideas are developed and implemented by working groups. These findings were the conditions-motivations for the subject of this diploma thesis. Specifically, how and on what scale the use of mobile software technology could bring about a social change in the academic community, improving its daily life, through an application installed on such an accessible and widespread electronic medium, such as the mobile phone. Thus, the idea of a social platform with characteristics already known from social networks, adapted to the academic reality, was born. This software integrates all the possibilities of a modern social network, offering a panoramic view of all posts, the ability to define groups with common interests, the creation of an individual profile, while it has a chat editor for dynamic and real-time dialogue. However, the important innovation of the platform is that it can manage geographic locations, recognise profiles and easily create and manage groups. The objective of this diploma thesis is the design and development of the administrator interface of the TUCMEET application, as the need for an administrator role in the application is a given. The problem that the proposed software solves concerns the socialization of individuals in areas of specific scope within the Technical University of Crete (TUC) community, informing them about academic issues, but also activating interest in a possible participation in the TUC groups. For the development of the application, an appropriate study and use of technologies was conducted, based on the features that the application must include. The end result of this application can be an auxiliary way of approaching student and learning needs through the voluntary creation of working groups, interaction spaces, but also space for posting announcements, thus facilitating the academic work, turning it into a more interactive and participative one.
