Abstract
Parents play a vital role contributing towards student achievement. They need to be actively involved in organising and monitoring student time, assisting with homework and discussing school matters. Hence, 360-Class Monitoring application aims to foster better communication between teachers, students and parents. The application enables effective and prompt communication in terms of updating parents on students’ school work and assignments as well as school activities. For example, the application provides a platform for a teacher to post assignments which require students’ actions along with the submission date. New entries by teachers will trigger email notifications to alert parents. Students and parents are able to view the post once they logged into the system.
