JKUAT-MIT AITIx

Innovation continues to bubble up in the appropriate information and communication technology space.Within the JKUAT-MIT AITI-x program:

Abel Masai, a second year Computer Technology student (in JKUAT), has developed a database-driven SMS application that can be used by JAB. The application allows students to send their index number and the replies with the details of the course the student is enrolled. The student composes a message in the form “JAB INDEX_NUMBER”. The application then sends a reply containing the student’s full name, the university and course he/she is enrolled.The application recognizes malformed messages (wrong format) and advises the user on the right format.
