Development of communication technology on smartphones can be used to meet the needs of actual mass communication (real time chat), concise, and efficient in educational institutions, especially for students and lecturers. This research aims to produce architectural design and implementation of web and Android based instant messaging (IM) which can be applied to educational institutions as a fast, provident, and effective communication means. This study was conducted by collecting data through questionnaires distributed among the students and the lecturers. The IM application is developed based on Rational Unified Process (RUP) software development method. The architecture and IM application are XMPP protocol based that can be implemented on web and Android platform with personal chat, group chat, broadcast messages, scheduled messages, and file attachments features. The application can facilitate the communication from an educational institution to or between students and lecturers, and gather students and lecturers' phone number and email.
