Abstract
Educational portals are all around us. However, users don‟t
always find it easy to access these portals especially due to power
failure. With the increasing use of mobile phones, these phones
can be used as an access point to Higher Educational portals.
In this paper, we propose a mobile portal architecture that would
enable portal application to be used on mobile phones. The
system was developed using MySql as the backend and the front
comprising of a mobile device that must be Wireless Application
Protocol (WAP) enabled. The WAP gateway acts as the
middleware and the web server on which Hypertext Preprocessor
(PHP) would run. The system is divided into two
modules: the mobile front-end module and the application server
and database module.
The proposed system would assist students of educational
institutions, especially, higher institutions in developing
countries to do on-line registration and payments of fees on their
mobile phones.
