 MOTIVATION

Technology plays a vital role in everyday life and apps are becoming the
dominant form of digital interaction. According to a survey, Mobile users
spend 86% of their time on mobile apps and just 14% of the time on mobile
websites. This demonstrates that consumers indeed want the simplicity and focus
that apps provide , rather than the variety and diffusion inherent in websites.
With the advancement in mobile technology and availability of smart mobile
devices, a system to assess the knowledge level of the employees of an
organization can be created to keep the employees engaging and to connect them
to the organizational brand.
 OBJECTIVE

• The application Qbuzz is designed to integrate employee learning along

with evaluation through objective test questions.

• It is developed for continuous assessment , enhanced learning and for

keeping the employees engaged within a platform.
 INTRODUCTION

• Qbuzz acts as an assessment platform for the employees of an

organization for testing knowledge
• The application provides both user functionalities and a set of
administrative tasks that need to performed by the admin.
• The user module allows the user to view the scheduled tests and take
them up during the specified duration.
• The admin module provides functions for the admin to update and delete
tests.
• Employees can analyze and compare performance with others through
achievements.
• A discussion forum is made available for discussion and to promote critical
thinking.

 PROPOSED SYSTEM
The application is broken down into a number of modules for efficient
implementation

• The login section requires the user to enter the email id and password in
the respective fields which is authenticated by a backend database already
holding the information of the employees of the organization. The
application permits the authentication of registered users only.

• The Test section displays all the scheduled tests for specific departments
mentioning the time period during which it will remain active. The test will
be disabled if the user has already attempted the quiz or has navigated
away from the test page. The score would be displayed instantly to the
user at the end of each test.

• Allows multiple test scheduling for tests to be conducted for employees of

various departments

• The application suggests appropriate learning content if the test scores of

an individual are low.
• The application consists of an achievements section which will list the employees
according to their active performance in tests. This engages the users in a unique
way and connects them to the brand. It is also valuable in self-assessment.

• If the authenticated user is an admin, the scores of the tests will be displayed.
Additionally, specific administrative tasks such as adding and deleting tests could
be performed by the admin.

• The intention of providing the users with objective questions is to keep it short
which also is a huge advantage as it is time saving. A strict time duration prevents
malpractice.

• A common forum for discussion is provided within the platform where the users
can discuss with other employees in the platform and other users can view and
articulate from it.

• In order to improve the user/employee satisfaction, a feedback tool is provided in

which users can opine and clarify their doubts. This makes it and interactive
system.

• The setting tool allows the users to logout(if needed) and also furnishes a touch of
personalization by allowing users to change their background themes.
 SYSTEM DESIGN

o Software Requirements
• Android SDK Tools, Android platform Tools, Android developer tools
• Programming Language: Java, XML
• Database: Firebase database
• Data set for questions

o Hardware Requirements
• Android phone (Lollipop 5.0 and above)

 MODULES
Login
The login module is a portal module that presents app visitors with a form
with username and password fields. It describes the interface
implemented by authentication technology providers. These are plugged
in under applications to provide a particular
type of authentication.

Profile
The purpose of the module is it provide access to and a persistent data
store for all the details of the user.

Test
This module provides with the name of test , date and time limit to attend
the test.

Announcements
Announcements allow instructors to communicate with users about the
course activities and post interesting quiz-related topics.
Discussion Forum
A discussion forum is an online bulletin board where you can leave
messages and see responses to the messages you have left.

Achievements
This module provides the ranking from the results of each test. T he
purpose of a leader board is to show users where they rank. Those at the
top enjoy the notoriety it brings, as for everyone else, the leader board
shows them where they stand relative to their peers.

Feedback
Feedback tool is that helps mobile app developers to extract real user
feedback. They’re positioned as an in-app customer support platform that
enables admin to make improvements to the user experience, drive higher
ratings and increase retention.

Settings
Settings allow users to change the functionality and behavior of an
application. Settings can affect background behavior, they can be more
wide-reaching, such as changing the contents and presentation of the user
interface.
