Development of a Web-Based Student Information System for Secondary Schools in Nigeria

In recent years, with the fast paced working environments, technological advancements have gained momentum. Employees are heavily relying on these technologies for their mundane tasks such as emails to analytical tasks such as creating reports. Therefore, the implementation of information technology (IT) into education sector is transforming learning, teaching, organizing, and managing in significant ways. Similarly, the Clarion School for Boys-Milwaukee Division adapted IT primarily to increase staff productivity, however its full application was yet to be implemented (CSU-Global, 2015).

The intent of this paper is to design and propose a database management system solution to Grandfield College for tracking software installed. I have analyzed the organizational issues and needs and developed conceptual, logical, and physical designs of DBMS solution. In order to implement the solution, substantial research had been done on best practices in design, available products, and the legal and ethical standards to which we must adhere during design. This paper includes Business rules, Conceptual, Logical, and Physical database designs, Recommendations on best DBMS required for Grandfield College, Data model, Legal

Training Information Management System (TIMS), the project scope is to allow users to track instructors, students, courses and grades. TIMS must be completed in six months and must allow the functions listed above. TIMS must also link with the accounting system for accurate pricing for courses and accounting financial interaction. TIMS should be able to track credits earned toward IT industry certification requirements. The new system may also allow students to register for courses online.

Few decades back, educational institutions maintained educational records mainly in paper files. In those days, privacy breaches meant access to information present paper files without proper consent, and the main concern was related to misuse of the student information by agencies rather than the theft of records. To comply with FERPA, educational institutions had to safeguard paper files from illegal access, and provide access to these files only for legitimate use.

In the past, academic and administrative computer systems were isolated, either for security reasons or as a result of limited interconnectivity with other computers. Today, nearly any information that an administrator, teacher, student or parent might is available through a network connection. Course lectures are presented are viewed and students submit their assignments via the internet school class shell. Student and parents can view their grades online, administrative paperwork and other information can be shared through a variety of systems. The internet is an awesome and convenient way to communicate, but it introduces

Due to technology growing, many schools are no longer using paper, but are instead using computers and other electronic devices to do work on. This can have many positive effects but also many bad effects. In Jonathan Sapers article “Paperless Dreams” and Mark Sheads article “Paperless Office Myths” the pros and cons of schools going paperless are explained. Going completely paperless would not have a pleasing effect, but having a happy middle between technology and paper would have an exceptional result. One reason going completely paperless would not have a positive effect is because sometimes the internet can not be accessed.

Keeping records is an important tool for both teachers and learners in a school or educational institute. Accurate records taken and maintained during a particular course would allow both the teachers and the students to continuously re-evaluate and reassess themselves as well as the effectiveness of the teaching and learning relationship.

Jefferson County School System (JCSS) is one of the largest school systems in the US. It provides education for about 10,000 students and consists of fourteen elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high schools. In 1976, the school system purchased and implemented the DEC PDP 11/34 computer that helped to develop the student management applications, financial applications, and other student management applications. Today, the JCSS owns four Dell servers running on UNIX and everything is connected via a high-speed TCP/IP network. All the applications were developed by David Meyer, a director of data processing, and his two programmers. Once the current JCSS superintended of school retired, Dr. Harvey Greene was hired. Dr. Greene

John Young has a tremendous responsibility on his hands in preparing an evaluation of the current state of Information Systems (IS) for the Milwaukee’s Division of the Clarion School for Boys, Inc. Mr. Young is on a truncated timetable, and will have to rely on the schools staff and faculty to aid him in making an informed evaluation of the schools information system infrastructure, and articulate his assessment to the Board of Directors for approval.

Admission of students into university is an indispensable activity in every educational system. It is as old as education itself. At Caritas University, enrollment of more students into the school over the past few years have steadily increased the demand on the admission office. More applications resulted in heavier paper work and processing challenges. Every admission was routed through various departments for evaluation, and a manual admission process caused difficulty in admission processing and archiving. In order to speed up and simplify the admission process, the development of automated student admission processing system was

The present era has progressed not only in terms of education but also in the department of information technology. People usually resort into using technology for a faster way of communication, to progress in work and in education. Some colleges and universities have implemented the different kinds of technology for purposes of developing a student’s skills and abilities. “Technology is seen in several forms from the simple functions of a calculator used in mathematics to the most complicated computers and technological gadgets” (Flannagan L.J., pg. 07). However, alongside the positive advantages of technology and advanced computer system, there is also a negative side or disadvantages causing problems that need to be solved. While the “ideal goal for educators is to implement technology in the classroom and see definite positive affects on student achievement” (Flannagan L.J., pg. 09). We are living in a world filled with high tech gadgets in the current time like ipads, social media such as twitter, facebook, tumbr and google.

There are several ways to become organized; it is a time where technology can advance students. There are currently many applications on mobile devices to help organize a student’s week to help them with their career. From Google drive to Dropbox there are many applications to excel the process of sharing multiple reports thus saving students time. Instead of students wasting time looking at each individual receipt or invoice there are now systems that can read receipts and invoices and put everything in the right column. (Neat, 2015)
