IBB University Lapai, Nigeria Abstract: Applications are essential part of the modern-day world, in view of such fields as education, tourism, medicine, business, travel, architecture, engineering, banking and law, in the past two or more decades the impact of application has been enormous. The purpose of this research work is to develop an android based educational application using web API’s to support the educational needs in Nigeria. Agile model of software development life cycle methodology is used with object oriented approach for the development of the application. Keywords: Android Application model, Teaching, Framework I. INTRODUCTION Education is one of the mainly significant requirements for a sound life of an individual and that of the entire world. Thus, education an influential tool of political, economic, and social advancement, without education an individual nor a community cannot achieve professional development. Applications are essential part of the modern-day world. In fact, society and culture have to be in tune to meet the challenges of the information age. Application is a power that has changed many ways in which people lives. In view of such fields as education, tourism, medicine, business, travel, architecture, engineering, banking and law, in the past two or more decades the impact of application has been enormous. The way the fields function in this present day is vastly differ from the way they function in the past. But in view of education sector, it seems to have a slight impact of application utilization and far less improvement, than the other fields have experienced. However, the lack of activity and influence of application have been explored by a lot of people (Soloway and Pryor, 2006) [1]. The omnipresent influence of Applications has a rapid improvement in social, technological, economic and political transformation. The area of education has not been unchanged by the insightful influence of applications. However, innovation of applications has immensely contributed to the quantity and quality of teaching and research and learning in distance and traditional education institutions. Teaching and learning through dynamic attractive and interactive content has been enhances by application and provides opportunities for individualization of instruction. Applications has the ability to enrich, accelerate and deepen skills, engage and motivate students ability of learning, helps to integrate school experience to practice work, helps to create economic feasibility for tomorrow’s workers; strengthens learning and teaching; contribute to the growth of the institution and creates connection between the world and the school (Davis and Tearle, 2002) [2]. Medina (2002) [3] tallied up the advantage of applications in learning as: 1) learning process enhancing, 2) learning environment enrichment, and 3) Availability of education. The alternative wide range of available media for helping people to learn is provided by web technology. According to Sabry & Baldwin, (2003) [4], progressively more, learning interaction is provided by web technology and educational institution is becoming covenant to it. (Bennet, McKenzie, & Waugh, 2002) [5], Education process beyond the traditional classroom has been expanded with the advances in learning environment of students teaching and learning. A. PROBLEM STATEMENT In the period of realistic and competitor science and technology, Nigeria is striving hard to play a leadership role in Africa, there is need to pay further attention to the development of teaching and learning mainly in Nigerian institutions. This entails the implementation of educational applications in the institution system. In the modern time innovation of applications is an important interference to education system in Nigeria. Its intrinsic attributes such as reliability, elevated speed performance, accuracy, and competence to store large quantity of information have provide applicability to human accomplishments including learning, teaching and research in institutions. Education development in Nigeria have some current problems such as: education system is diversified, unstable staff, the poor state of the nation’s economy, education procurement politicization, unstable subject and curriculum, and servicing of equipment, poor accommodation of classrooms, subject and laboratories rooms, Irregular power supply, libraries are inadequately equipped, cost of books at all level of education are prohibitive.
