A Novel Web-Based Student Academic Records Information System

Abstract

The system presents a single platform that will be used to manage and process data for all categories of students in a seamless and interactive manner. The design technology adopted for the implementation is a client/server technology, with MYSQL as the server technology and Visual Basic.NET as the client technology. Internet Information Server (IIS) is used as the Web server. The software development methodology adopted is the incremental model in conjunction with prototyping technique. The data used were obtained from the University of Port Harcourt and an empirical evaluation of the system shows that the system expedites processing of students’ results and generation of other related academic information. This system increases efficient service delivery and provides added advantage in academic records management.
