When our team researched implementation of the application after the creation of the idea, we discovered that the Android OS does not support replacing the lock screen currently.

Our team has decided to continue development on the StudiDroid education application.

The beta release has been uploaded due to our loss of time with the initial projects. We made sure to work hard to put out an improved version and will be working all summer to complete a robust version of StudiDroid 0.1 Release



Features we are workings towards:

Mathematical and Symbol Table Integration

Improved Interface

Improved Performance / Application Size

E-mail Compatibility to allow easy transfer

Text to Speech for the Disabled



Slides and Schedule to follow within 24 hours

Concept Slides

Conceptualization Slides, as promised, have been uploaded to the Google Code page. Head on over to download the powerpoint.

The Future of Beacon does not look promising. Our team has decided to abandon the goal due to finding a identical newly released appplication that was found while researching similar existing applications. This application was abandonded originally but within the last few weeks, apparently, fully launched under a new name / company.

We have worked hard to make up for lost time and found a suitable, more promising, venture for the summer.

Slides pertaining the aforementioned similar application and our abandoning Beacon, conceputalization for Connect, and revised Summer schedule to be uploaded within 48 hours.

Slides Posting

Due to Computer Problems, Slide posting has been delayed. Slides to be uploaded to blog and Google code page within the next 2 days.

Current progress on project and Calendar to follow.

*Current exploration into alternative applications has yielded a very close result, though not open source. Determination on whether an open source alternative will suffice or tweaking initial specifications in order to occlude the aforementioned applications similarities*
