CMail is an application inspired and designed by Josh Moser, Ian Feeley, Kyle Brown, and Josh Wooten. Created for Android written in Java by Josh Moser. We plan on expanding to most mobile devices.
CMail is an application for android devices created as an innovative way for teachers to communicate with students. Students running the application can receive notifications from anyone they give their college e-mail to. Alternatively students may alter their via privacy settings to limit notifications received via the mobile device down to a limited list of chosen people (contact list, facebook friends, professors, assignment notifications, etc).
The way it works is simple: A teacher sends an e-mail to all students in their class. If it contains any one of several flagged words such as ( assignment AND due FOLLOWED BY date) it can automatically create an assignment due notification ( if a professor sent it ), or you can choose to manually create the notification if a friend sends it.
The notification is a simple alarm that reminds you when projects, assignments are due as well as notifying you of upcoming tests in which the professor can also add a study guide or other note.
This app lowers the amount of work a professor must do to communicate with his/her students, assign homework, instantly notify students of canceled classes...... all the teacher has to do it write an e-mail, the app takes care of the rest by organizing the data into a user friendly form which shows relevant information as it becomes available.
