Nowadays, with the growth of information and communication technology (ICT), more students are using the Internet to share their study materials online and access the materials of others, especially university students. These helpful academic materials can help students achieve better grades in their academic performance. However, according to the survey on existing systems, these existing platforms might not be the best tool for UM students to share and get academic materials due to their limitations. Besides, findings have found that the habit of academic material sharing among UM students seems to be less motivated. On the other hand, some UM students threw away their physical academic materials after completing a semester. This led to the rise of paper waste on campus and affected the green environment. Therefore, a centralized academic material sharing platform that includes a reward system should be developed for UM students to share and get helpful academic materials. With the presence of this centralized academic material sharing platform, UM students can easily get specific-course study materials. Moreover, it encourages more UM students to share their academic materials by rewarding them. By doing so, the habit of academic material sharing among UM students can be encouraged, which in turn reduces the paper waste on campus. Ultimately, this can help UM to achieve the status of a zero-waste campus in the future.
