11 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The errors associated with the existing manual method of student records and processing of

results in most universities in Nigeria including Benson Idahosa University make it not only

desirable but imperative that computerizedapproach be used to the full in measuring studentsrsquo

academic progress The manualmethods being employed suffer a number of set-back They make

the process to betime-consuming and prone to errors even as they lead to late publication

ofexamination results Worst still sometimes wrong grades are being entered andstudentsrsquo grade

point averages are computed wrongly Consequently thecumulative errors being generated are

ultimately linked to awarding of erroneousclass of grade Some students could end up with

undeserved good classes ofgrade while others could be unfairly victimized bringing about

frustration Inthis case the image of the department(s) concerned and the whole University alike

could become tarnished The problem therefore that arises is to find a method of processing

examination results that would be sufficiently accurate and reasonably timely

The students record and result processing is a routine activity Every semester in the higher

institution callsfor assessment of the performances of the students This assessment usually

comes in the form of examinations tests practicals labs and the like Without anassessment of

the students there will not be the need to work hard

Assessment takes the form of a reward system Students are interested in acompetitive

environment Tracing this to the primary and secondary schoolsystems where the students are

graded in positions each student works very hardto make the best results The higher institution

1

system is no difference At the endof each academic semester the results of the semester

academic activities arecomputed The issue here is in the conversion of the levels of involvement

andexpertise of the students into relative figures which ranks the students

12 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The problems posed by manual methods of result processing are enormous The issueshere can

only be addressed by employing upper hands The effort expended in theprocess of registration

of students and computation of their examination results istedious Quite worrisome is the fact

that these processes are carried out everyacademic session putting the operators in a continuous

and ever demanding cycle

The computation of examination results and registration of students is obviously anobject-

centered activity the student being the dominant object in this case Hencethe need to evolve not

just a computerized process but an object-orientedsoftware design and implementation that will

effectively and efficientlycapture all the important objects associated with the registration and

examinationresult processing within the University and the interactions among the objects

To arrest this problem there is a need to develop software that is accurate errorfree and that can

run on the web (using real time) in order to give students accessto their results as at when

needed This will also help reduce the queue usually seenat the course advisersrsquo office during

resultrsquos check and in turn tackle the so muchstress on both exams and record and the

management in Universities

13 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The aim of the project is to design and implement online student record system

The objective of this project is to design and develop system that can

a) Provide a reliable solution to result processing that is corruption free

b) Provide a software that will generate result that is accurate timely and error free

c) Maintain a reliable database for storage of studentsrsquo records and update as the need

arises

d) Restrict unauthorized access to the students record

14 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The project work will help in a good number of ways to ease the delay in manualexamination

processing The software developed will help schools management toachieve efficient

Information Management System There are many otheradvantages and some of them are listed

below

a) It saves time during examination processing

b) References are very fast and delays can be avoided

c) It allows easy access to stored information

d) It helps in reducing the costs such as labor inventory and stationery

e) Generation of accurate resultsinformation on transactions is ensured

f) It guarantees the students unshared access to their individual results

15 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study will be limited to the design and limitation of online student record

system

The system developed will only cover registration of students result processing and security of

studentsrsquo record functions

16 LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

In the course of this design some factors led to constraints in the effective actualization of the

project

The duration for this project was too small for the study to be carried out in a more complex

scope There were some other programmes like exams to be attended to which curtailed the

time spent on the project The above constraint led to limiting the application functionalities

The limited resources available for carrying out this project posed a major constraint There

was much work to be done but limited cash was available The available related materials in

this research topic were insufficient and some of the respondents were unwilling to supply

useful information

17 DEFINITION OF TECHNICAL TERMS

LITERATURE REVIEW

20 INTRODUCTION

21 COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND OTHER RELATED CONCEPTS

The introduction of computer into information technology has massively improved the

information need of organization the success of this machine is dependent on the knowledge

base Therefore one can be prompted to ask aloud ldquowhat is computerrdquo Funk (1980) defined a

computer as an electronic device that can perform automatically and at a high speed a sequence

of logical operations according to instructions given to it inform of a pre-arranged program

Anigbogu (2000) defined a computer as an electronic device capable of accepting data and

instructions processing the data based on the instructions to generate results or output in such a

manner that is yet to be equaled by any other known machine to mankind

Chimezie (1990) stated that ldquoComputers are looked upon as obedient servants who are ever

ready to free man from tedious procedures and produce results as compared with human

computing timerdquo

Obilikwu (1995) described computer as a machine that is capable of accepting input data store

and process the data based on instructions given by the computer user and in this way produce

expected results generally called output These definitions of computer would lead us to answer

the question ldquowhat is a programrdquo

In his definition Obilikwu (1995) defined a program as a sequence of instructions given to the

computer to perform a specific operation From Encarta Encyclopedia computer program is a set

of instructions that directs a computer to perform some processing function or combination of

functions The above definitions of computer clearly demonstrated the limitless area of

6

operations of computer in as much as such task is programmable Computer is applicable in

virtually all areas of human endeavor ranging from Agriculture Education

Business Sports Entertainment Medicine Construction and Military etc French (1992) in his

book titledrdquo computer Sciencerdquo fourth edition he relates the relevance of computer to

management and stated that ldquoa company needs information in which to base decisions

concerning the current operations and future plans It requires the information to be timely and

accuraterdquo He then cited the example of the use of computer in the area of management control

toproduction and stated ldquoproduction must be able to respond quickly to changes in demand and

other circumstances To do so requires the provision of up to date information this is accurate

and timelyrdquo

Aluko (1991) stated that ldquoin virtually any job whether clerical technical business or

professional whether it is a banking medicine education etc Computers are useful toolsrdquo and

that ldquocomputers are tools with which we calculate measure assess store retrieve regulate and

monitor informationrdquo Hence the blood and life wire of any system is information A typical

system (Education Managementetc) cannot survive without good management information

system (MIS)

Management Information System (MIS) are information systems typically computer-based that

are used within an organization The concept of Management Information System is a complex

variable although Murdick (1971) simplified it when he said ldquothere is probably no more

challenging and diversified subject than management theory system theory and computer

sciencerdquo

Admission processing system result processing system course registration system is typical

information processing system or organizational information system on candidatesrsquo admission

7

and performances World Net describes an information system (IS) as ldquoa system consisting of the

network of all communication channels used within an organization and includes software and

hardwarerdquo It may also be defined as ldquoa system that collects and processes data (information) and

provides it to mangers at all levels that use it for decision making planning program

implementation and control

The aim of information system to admission registration and result processing in universities is

improving the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved as well as assisting

universities in compiling and reporting information

The information system (IS) has common data set on admission admittance regulations of

different universities and admission procedures Computerization is a social process for

providing access to and support for computer equipment to be used in activities such as teaching

accounting writing designing circuits file processing etc Computerization entails social

choices about the levels of appropriate investment and control over equipment and expertise as

well as choices of equipment

Dunlop and Kling (1991) by the early 1990s computing and telecommunications accounted for

half of the capital investments made by private firms However paper (1980) Feigenbaum and

McCorduck (1983) and Yourdon (1986) stated that the most fervent advocates of

computerization have argued that the actual pace of computerization in schools factories and

homes is too slow

Taylor (1980) classified computer-based education includes both computer-assisted instruction

programs that interact with students in a dialogue and a broader array of educational computer

applications such as simulations or instruction in computer programming There is major

national push for extended application of computer based education at educational levels For

8

example in the mid-1980s private several colleges and Universities required all their freshmen

students to buy a specific kind of Micro-computers and others invested heavily in visions of

ldquowired

Campusrdquo

Kling (1983) avers that computer-based education has been promoted with two different

underlying ideologies in all levels of education Some educators argue that computer- based

instructional approaches can help fulfill the traditional values of progressive education the

simulation of intellectual curiosity initiative and democratic experiences For examples (1984)

has argued that computerized universities are qualitatively different than traditional universities

College students with micro computers in their dorm rooms will be more stimulated to learn

because they will have easy access to instructional materials and more interesting problems to

solve Papert (1979) argues that in a new computer ndash based school cultivate students will no

longer simply be taught mathematics These visions portray an enchanted social order

transformed by advanced computing technologies Other advocates are a bites romantic but not

less enthusiastic

For example Cole (1972) states because of the insatiable desire of students for more and more

information at a higher level of complexity and more sophisticated level of utilization more

effective means of communication must be used Computers can provide a unique vehicle for

this transmissionrdquo Hence it is important to note that computer-based education goes a long way

in helping the students as well as the staff to effectively make use of the computerized course

registration system It also helps in convincing the stakeholders of the importance and need for

adopting the computerized admission registration and result processing system as it provides

effective and accurate handling of studentrsquos files

9

Therefore a computerized course registration system is usually a system which is implemented

with a computer to achieve the utmost efficiency and desired goals In well developed countries

where education systems are computerized course registration system should be andor is one of

the modules contained in the college portal A ldquoCollege Portalrdquo therefore is personalized

software that captures the entire education business process and makes all operations accessible

via the web thus allowing schools to effectively serve all stakeholders students lecturers

administrators and parents It provides many functionalities including Admissions Registration

Financial Services (transactions- processing) Exams amp Records Grading Staff Management

Facility Management Student self-care (My school)Alumni Records Library and College shop

etc and supports workflow and Messaging and provides other collaboration tools and advanced

reporting engines

Russell M (1987) dealt extensively on the need for the use of computers on such database

system like computerized course registration system In the words of Dimorji (2003) at the

center of any information system is a database which is any collection of related information

grouped together as a simple item The term canalso apply to the ways in which information is

catalog used analyzed stored and used manually

Russell was also of the view that without a computer effective handling of Candidatesrsquo records

cannot be achieved effectively According to him ldquoThe oxford University has more than ninety-

six thousand studentrsquos records No person would precisely remember the details of these

recordsrdquo The computer is the most possible application to retain an unlimited number of records

with the utmost current updating possibilities This is true as can be seen as posited by

Eloba(1992) Computer in school record keeping Technical Education Today Vol 3 No182

ldquoThat at a department with over a thousand candidates with the use of computer all qualified for

10

admission only 100 candidates need to be chosen With the ranking of the scores or grades of the

candidates the management is in position to choose best candidates with the best results with

ease and on timerdquo with the use of computer Again many computerized systems have become

more than tools they are environments that people sometimes find hard to change and so on

Kling and Suzanne (1988) argue that we have much to learn about future uses and consequences

of computerization by carefully examining past and present experiences Knowing fully well

how the University program is being run(manually) studying the past and present experiences

energize the idea of computerization of the board or the program

22 RESULT PROCESSING AND ASSOCIATED CONCEPTS

221 Processing

Practically all naturally occurring processes can be viewed as examples of data processing

systems where observable information in the form of pressure light etc are converted by

human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognize as

touch sound and vision Even the interaction of non-living systems may be viewed in this way

as rudimentary information processing systems Conventional usage of the terms data processing

and information systems restricts their use to refer to the algorithmic derivations logical

deductions and statistical calculations that recur perennially in general business environments

rather than in the more expansive sense of all conversions of real-world measurements into real-

world information in say an organic biological system

The importance of high-speed data processing and communication to modern society and

economy can scarcely be exaggerated Thomas Friedman in The World is Flat (Farrar 2005)

argues that they have wrought a more profound revolution change in communication and trade

11

than did the Gutenberg printing press and have changed the world permanently in far less time

The proliferation of PCs PDAs and cellular communications the ubiquity of the internet and the

accelerating development of software that allows all of these technologies to interact on a

common communication framework have ldquoflattenedrdquo our world in Friedmanrsquos parlance by

literally erasing the significance of geography and national boundaries in the conduct of

commerce and trade Together with the emergence of the leadership and management practices

to take advantages of these ldquoflattenersrdquo and the collapse of political and economic barriers that

accompanied the end of the cold war what Friedman calls the ldquotriple convergencerdquo has literally

ldquochanged everythingrdquo Friedmanrsquos observations are supported by the words of the CEO of

Hewlett Packard that the world is entering ldquoan era in which technology will literally transform

every aspect of business every aspect of life and every aspect of society

12

CHAPTER THREE

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This chapter tries to explain or describe and analyze the existing system The research have tried

in describing and analyzing the manual system that has been in use in the stem for many years

now and is still in the record department of Computer science BIU

31 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is the only system affordable by the university at the time it was initiated

The students come to the staff in a single file in other to obtain the form or to submit the same

after due completion of the documents This has some merit since human relationship is

promoted by facial contact which in most cases brings about favoritism On the contrary the

existing system is not devoid of demerits

Since human beings are impatient to accept and tolerate individual difference in fact this is one

of the reasons why we have strongly encouraged the online students record system

The analysis of the existing system will do justice in pointing out the different stages involved in

manual method of student record process This ranges from the purchase of the form to the

submission processing and publication of names the registration point

Since the researchers are taking the study from the students record system to identify the

existing problem because narrowed down to the use of documentation interview and

experienceobservational method since the project is both theoretical as well as practically

oriented one

13

Documentation This type of method collects data from a given document that is relevant to the

issue at stake These documents contain records of vital events that can help the researcher It

also continue vital information on varied concepts There are facts on different issues that are

documented for different use and in different time by people from various aspects of life

Interview The primary of interview is to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data which

are current as well as desired regarding the users requirements policies procedures and

practice The researchers adopted oral or face-to-face interview technique so as to obtain

authentic and relevant data This responses were satisfactory

Observationexperience Method This is a method used in collecting information about a

person or events persons involve will not be aware that someone is taking record of their lives

The record is collected at the personrsquos natural state and different intervals

The researchers were sometime involved in this process and know a considerable events about

the system coupled with their observation of other students at different intervals gave rise to this

write-ups

32 OBJECTIVES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system that has been in operation in studentrsquos record process of BIU is the

manual system And there are some objectives upon which they are expected to achieve

Therefore the following objectives are to be achieved

To make students be at ease in coming into the school without

Frustration

To help students obtain record successfully

14

To assist students in processing their forms

To help students register without difficulties

To offer students record that cannot be denied

33 INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT ANALYSIS

By input analysis the researcher hope to analyze students data

In offering this record the following were used Name of candidate Registration number course

PROCESS ANALYSIS

The processing takes place here The data will be queued according as they should be and be

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

16

Candidate Registration number

Sex (optional)

Year of record (where applicable)

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

45 INSTALLATIONS OF SOFTWARE AND NEW PROGRAMS USERS

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

system is no difference At the endof each academic semester the results of the semester

academic activities arecomputed The issue here is in the conversion of the levels of involvement

andexpertise of the students into relative figures which ranks the students

12 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The problems posed by manual methods of result processing are enormous The issueshere can

only be addressed by employing upper hands The effort expended in theprocess of registration

of students and computation of their examination results istedious Quite worrisome is the fact

that these processes are carried out everyacademic session putting the operators in a continuous

and ever demanding cycle

The computation of examination results and registration of students is obviously anobject-

centered activity the student being the dominant object in this case Hencethe need to evolve not

just a computerized process but an object-orientedsoftware design and implementation that will

effectively and efficientlycapture all the important objects associated with the registration and

examinationresult processing within the University and the interactions among the objects

To arrest this problem there is a need to develop software that is accurate errorfree and that can

run on the web (using real time) in order to give students accessto their results as at when

needed This will also help reduce the queue usually seenat the course advisersrsquo office during

resultrsquos check and in turn tackle the so muchstress on both exams and record and the

management in Universities

2

13 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The aim of the project is to design and implement online student record system

The objective of this project is to design and develop system that can

a) Provide a reliable solution to result processing that is corruption free

b) Provide a software that will generate result that is accurate timely and error free

c) Maintain a reliable database for storage of studentsrsquo records and update as the need

arises

d) Restrict unauthorized access to the students record

14 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The project work will help in a good number of ways to ease the delay in manualexamination

processing The software developed will help schools management toachieve efficient

Information Management System There are many otheradvantages and some of them are listed

below

a) It saves time during examination processing

b) References are very fast and delays can be avoided

c) It allows easy access to stored information

d) It helps in reducing the costs such as labor inventory and stationery

e) Generation of accurate resultsinformation on transactions is ensured

f) It guarantees the students unshared access to their individual results

3

15 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study will be limited to the design and limitation of online student record

system

The system developed will only cover registration of students result processing and security of

studentsrsquo record functions

16 LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

In the course of this design some factors led to constraints in the effective actualization of the

project

The duration for this project was too small for the study to be carried out in a more complex

scope There were some other programmes like exams to be attended to which curtailed the

time spent on the project The above constraint led to limiting the application functionalities

The limited resources available for carrying out this project posed a major constraint There

was much work to be done but limited cash was available The available related materials in

this research topic were insufficient and some of the respondents were unwilling to supply

useful information

17 DEFINITION OF TECHNICAL TERMS

Information System It is a collection of procedures people instructions and equipment to

produce information in a useful form

Technology It is study of techniques or process of mobilizing Resource (such as information)

for accomplishing objectives that benefits man and his environment

CHAPTER TWO

LITERATURE REVIEW

20 INTRODUCTION

21 COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND OTHER RELATED CONCEPTS

The introduction of computer into information technology has massively improved the

information need of organization the success of this machine is dependent on the knowledge

base Therefore one can be prompted to ask aloud ldquowhat is computerrdquo Funk (1980) defined a

computer as an electronic device that can perform automatically and at a high speed a sequence

of logical operations according to instructions given to it inform of a pre-arranged program

Anigbogu (2000) defined a computer as an electronic device capable of accepting data and

instructions processing the data based on the instructions to generate results or output in such a

manner that is yet to be equaled by any other known machine to mankind

Chimezie (1990) stated that ldquoComputers are looked upon as obedient servants who are ever

ready to free man from tedious procedures and produce results as compared with human

computing timerdquo

Obilikwu (1995) described computer as a machine that is capable of accepting input data store

and process the data based on instructions given by the computer user and in this way produce

expected results generally called output These definitions of computer would lead us to answer

the question ldquowhat is a programrdquo

In his definition Obilikwu (1995) defined a program as a sequence of instructions given to the

computer to perform a specific operation From Encarta Encyclopedia computer program is a set

of instructions that directs a computer to perform some processing function or combination of

functions The above definitions of computer clearly demonstrated the limitless area of

6

operations of computer in as much as such task is programmable Computer is applicable in

virtually all areas of human endeavor ranging from Agriculture Education

Business Sports Entertainment Medicine Construction and Military etc French (1992) in his

book titledrdquo computer Sciencerdquo fourth edition he relates the relevance of computer to

management and stated that ldquoa company needs information in which to base decisions

concerning the current operations and future plans It requires the information to be timely and

accuraterdquo He then cited the example of the use of computer in the area of management control

toproduction and stated ldquoproduction must be able to respond quickly to changes in demand and

other circumstances To do so requires the provision of up to date information this is accurate

and timelyrdquo

Aluko (1991) stated that ldquoin virtually any job whether clerical technical business or

professional whether it is a banking medicine education etc Computers are useful toolsrdquo and

that ldquocomputers are tools with which we calculate measure assess store retrieve regulate and

monitor informationrdquo Hence the blood and life wire of any system is information A typical

system (Education Managementetc) cannot survive without good management information

system (MIS)

Management Information System (MIS) are information systems typically computer-based that

are used within an organization The concept of Management Information System is a complex

variable although Murdick (1971) simplified it when he said ldquothere is probably no more

challenging and diversified subject than management theory system theory and computer

sciencerdquo

Admission processing system result processing system course registration system is typical

information processing system or organizational information system on candidatesrsquo admission

7

and performances World Net describes an information system (IS) as ldquoa system consisting of the

network of all communication channels used within an organization and includes software and

hardwarerdquo It may also be defined as ldquoa system that collects and processes data (information) and

provides it to mangers at all levels that use it for decision making planning program

implementation and control

The aim of information system to admission registration and result processing in universities is

improving the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved as well as assisting

universities in compiling and reporting information

The information system (IS) has common data set on admission admittance regulations of

different universities and admission procedures Computerization is a social process for

providing access to and support for computer equipment to be used in activities such as teaching

accounting writing designing circuits file processing etc Computerization entails social

choices about the levels of appropriate investment and control over equipment and expertise as

well as choices of equipment

Dunlop and Kling (1991) by the early 1990s computing and telecommunications accounted for

half of the capital investments made by private firms However paper (1980) Feigenbaum and

McCorduck (1983) and Yourdon (1986) stated that the most fervent advocates of

computerization have argued that the actual pace of computerization in schools factories and

homes is too slow

Taylor (1980) classified computer-based education includes both computer-assisted instruction

programs that interact with students in a dialogue and a broader array of educational computer

applications such as simulations or instruction in computer programming There is major

national push for extended application of computer based education at educational levels For

8

example in the mid-1980s private several colleges and Universities required all their freshmen

students to buy a specific kind of Micro-computers and others invested heavily in visions of

ldquowired

Campusrdquo

Kling (1983) avers that computer-based education has been promoted with two different

underlying ideologies in all levels of education Some educators argue that computer- based

instructional approaches can help fulfill the traditional values of progressive education the

simulation of intellectual curiosity initiative and democratic experiences For examples (1984)

has argued that computerized universities are qualitatively different than traditional universities

College students with micro computers in their dorm rooms will be more stimulated to learn

because they will have easy access to instructional materials and more interesting problems to

solve Papert (1979) argues that in a new computer ndash based school cultivate students will no

longer simply be taught mathematics These visions portray an enchanted social order

transformed by advanced computing technologies Other advocates are a bites romantic but not

less enthusiastic

For example Cole (1972) states because of the insatiable desire of students for more and more

information at a higher level of complexity and more sophisticated level of utilization more

effective means of communication must be used Computers can provide a unique vehicle for

this transmissionrdquo Hence it is important to note that computer-based education goes a long way

in helping the students as well as the staff to effectively make use of the computerized course

registration system It also helps in convincing the stakeholders of the importance and need for

adopting the computerized admission registration and result processing system as it provides

effective and accurate handling of studentrsquos files

9

Therefore a computerized course registration system is usually a system which is implemented

with a computer to achieve the utmost efficiency and desired goals In well developed countries

where education systems are computerized course registration system should be andor is one of

the modules contained in the college portal A ldquoCollege Portalrdquo therefore is personalized

software that captures the entire education business process and makes all operations accessible

via the web thus allowing schools to effectively serve all stakeholders students lecturers

administrators and parents It provides many functionalities including Admissions Registration

Financial Services (transactions- processing) Exams amp Records Grading Staff Management

Facility Management Student self-care (My school)Alumni Records Library and College shop

etc and supports workflow and Messaging and provides other collaboration tools and advanced

reporting engines

Russell M (1987) dealt extensively on the need for the use of computers on such database

system like computerized course registration system In the words of Dimorji (2003) at the

center of any information system is a database which is any collection of related information

grouped together as a simple item The term canalso apply to the ways in which information is

catalog used analyzed stored and used manually

Russell was also of the view that without a computer effective handling of Candidatesrsquo records

cannot be achieved effectively According to him ldquoThe oxford University has more than ninety-

six thousand studentrsquos records No person would precisely remember the details of these

recordsrdquo The computer is the most possible application to retain an unlimited number of records

with the utmost current updating possibilities This is true as can be seen as posited by

Eloba(1992) Computer in school record keeping Technical Education Today Vol 3 No182

ldquoThat at a department with over a thousand candidates with the use of computer all qualified for

10

admission only 100 candidates need to be chosen With the ranking of the scores or grades of the

candidates the management is in position to choose best candidates with the best results with

ease and on timerdquo with the use of computer Again many computerized systems have become

more than tools they are environments that people sometimes find hard to change and so on

Kling and Suzanne (1988) argue that we have much to learn about future uses and consequences

of computerization by carefully examining past and present experiences Knowing fully well

how the University program is being run(manually) studying the past and present experiences

energize the idea of computerization of the board or the program

22 RESULT PROCESSING AND ASSOCIATED CONCEPTS

221 Processing

Practically all naturally occurring processes can be viewed as examples of data processing

systems where observable information in the form of pressure light etc are converted by

human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognize as

touch sound and vision Even the interaction of non-living systems may be viewed in this way

as rudimentary information processing systems Conventional usage of the terms data processing

and information systems restricts their use to refer to the algorithmic derivations logical

deductions and statistical calculations that recur perennially in general business environments

rather than in the more expansive sense of all conversions of real-world measurements into real-

world information in say an organic biological system

The importance of high-speed data processing and communication to modern society and

economy can scarcely be exaggerated Thomas Friedman in The World is Flat (Farrar 2005)

argues that they have wrought a more profound revolution change in communication and trade

11

than did the Gutenberg printing press and have changed the world permanently in far less time

The proliferation of PCs PDAs and cellular communications the ubiquity of the internet and the

accelerating development of software that allows all of these technologies to interact on a

common communication framework have ldquoflattenedrdquo our world in Friedmanrsquos parlance by

literally erasing the significance of geography and national boundaries in the conduct of

commerce and trade Together with the emergence of the leadership and management practices

to take advantages of these ldquoflattenersrdquo and the collapse of political and economic barriers that

accompanied the end of the cold war what Friedman calls the ldquotriple convergencerdquo has literally

ldquochanged everythingrdquo Friedmanrsquos observations are supported by the words of the CEO of

Hewlett Packard that the world is entering ldquoan era in which technology will literally transform

every aspect of business every aspect of life and every aspect of society

12

CHAPTER THREE

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This chapter tries to explain or describe and analyze the existing system The research have tried

in describing and analyzing the manual system that has been in use in the stem for many years

now and is still in the record department of Computer science BIU

31 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is the only system affordable by the university at the time it was initiated

The students come to the staff in a single file in other to obtain the form or to submit the same

after due completion of the documents This has some merit since human relationship is

promoted by facial contact which in most cases brings about favoritism On the contrary the

existing system is not devoid of demerits

Since human beings are impatient to accept and tolerate individual difference in fact this is one

of the reasons why we have strongly encouraged the online students record system

The analysis of the existing system will do justice in pointing out the different stages involved in

manual method of student record process This ranges from the purchase of the form to the

submission processing and publication of names the registration point

Since the researchers are taking the study from the students record system to identify the

existing problem because narrowed down to the use of documentation interview and

experienceobservational method since the project is both theoretical as well as practically

oriented one

13

Documentation This type of method collects data from a given document that is relevant to the

issue at stake These documents contain records of vital events that can help the researcher It

also continue vital information on varied concepts There are facts on different issues that are

documented for different use and in different time by people from various aspects of life

Interview The primary of interview is to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data which

are current as well as desired regarding the users requirements policies procedures and

practice The researchers adopted oral or face-to-face interview technique so as to obtain

authentic and relevant data This responses were satisfactory

Observationexperience Method This is a method used in collecting information about a

person or events persons involve will not be aware that someone is taking record of their lives

The record is collected at the personrsquos natural state and different intervals

The researchers were sometime involved in this process and know a considerable events about

the system coupled with their observation of other students at different intervals gave rise to this

write-ups

32 OBJECTIVES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system that has been in operation in studentrsquos record process of BIU is the

manual system And there are some objectives upon which they are expected to achieve

Therefore the following objectives are to be achieved

To make students be at ease in coming into the school without

Frustration

To help students obtain record successfully

14

To assist students in processing their forms

To help students register without difficulties

To offer students record that cannot be denied

33 INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT ANALYSIS

By input analysis the researcher hope to analyze students data

In offering this record the following were used Name of candidate Registration number course

PROCESS ANALYSIS

The processing takes place here The data will be queued according as they should be and be

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

16

Candidate Registration number

Sex (optional)

Year of record (where applicable)

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

15 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study will be limited to the design and limitation of online student record

system

The system developed will only cover registration of students result processing and security of

studentsrsquo record functions

16 LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

In the course of this design some factors led to constraints in the effective actualization of the

project

The duration for this project was too small for the study to be carried out in a more complex

scope There were some other programmes like exams to be attended to which curtailed the

time spent on the project The above constraint led to limiting the application functionalities

The limited resources available for carrying out this project posed a major constraint There

was much work to be done but limited cash was available The available related materials in

this research topic were insufficient and some of the respondents were unwilling to supply

useful information

17 DEFINITION OF TECHNICAL TERMS

CHAPTER TWO

LITERATURE REVIEW

20 INTRODUCTION

21 COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND OTHER RELATED CONCEPTS

The introduction of computer into information technology has massively improved the

information need of organization the success of this machine is dependent on the knowledge

base Therefore one can be prompted to ask aloud ldquowhat is computerrdquo Funk (1980) defined a

computer as an electronic device that can perform automatically and at a high speed a sequence

of logical operations according to instructions given to it inform of a pre-arranged program

Anigbogu (2000) defined a computer as an electronic device capable of accepting data and

instructions processing the data based on the instructions to generate results or output in such a

manner that is yet to be equaled by any other known machine to mankind

Chimezie (1990) stated that ldquoComputers are looked upon as obedient servants who are ever

ready to free man from tedious procedures and produce results as compared with human

computing timerdquo

Obilikwu (1995) described computer as a machine that is capable of accepting input data store

and process the data based on instructions given by the computer user and in this way produce

expected results generally called output These definitions of computer would lead us to answer

the question ldquowhat is a programrdquo

In his definition Obilikwu (1995) defined a program as a sequence of instructions given to the

computer to perform a specific operation From Encarta Encyclopedia computer program is a set

of instructions that directs a computer to perform some processing function or combination of

functions The above definitions of computer clearly demonstrated the limitless area of

6

operations of computer in as much as such task is programmable Computer is applicable in

virtually all areas of human endeavor ranging from Agriculture Education

Business Sports Entertainment Medicine Construction and Military etc French (1992) in his

book titledrdquo computer Sciencerdquo fourth edition he relates the relevance of computer to

management and stated that ldquoa company needs information in which to base decisions

concerning the current operations and future plans It requires the information to be timely and

accuraterdquo He then cited the example of the use of computer in the area of management control

toproduction and stated ldquoproduction must be able to respond quickly to changes in demand and

other circumstances To do so requires the provision of up to date information this is accurate

and timelyrdquo

Aluko (1991) stated that ldquoin virtually any job whether clerical technical business or

professional whether it is a banking medicine education etc Computers are useful toolsrdquo and

that ldquocomputers are tools with which we calculate measure assess store retrieve regulate and

monitor informationrdquo Hence the blood and life wire of any system is information A typical

system (Education Managementetc) cannot survive without good management information

system (MIS)

Management Information System (MIS) are information systems typically computer-based that

are used within an organization The concept of Management Information System is a complex

variable although Murdick (1971) simplified it when he said ldquothere is probably no more

challenging and diversified subject than management theory system theory and computer

sciencerdquo

Admission processing system result processing system course registration system is typical

information processing system or organizational information system on candidatesrsquo admission

7

and performances World Net describes an information system (IS) as ldquoa system consisting of the

network of all communication channels used within an organization and includes software and

hardwarerdquo It may also be defined as ldquoa system that collects and processes data (information) and

provides it to mangers at all levels that use it for decision making planning program

implementation and control

The aim of information system to admission registration and result processing in universities is

improving the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved as well as assisting

universities in compiling and reporting information

The information system (IS) has common data set on admission admittance regulations of

different universities and admission procedures Computerization is a social process for

providing access to and support for computer equipment to be used in activities such as teaching

accounting writing designing circuits file processing etc Computerization entails social

choices about the levels of appropriate investment and control over equipment and expertise as

well as choices of equipment

Dunlop and Kling (1991) by the early 1990s computing and telecommunications accounted for

half of the capital investments made by private firms However paper (1980) Feigenbaum and

McCorduck (1983) and Yourdon (1986) stated that the most fervent advocates of

computerization have argued that the actual pace of computerization in schools factories and

homes is too slow

Taylor (1980) classified computer-based education includes both computer-assisted instruction

programs that interact with students in a dialogue and a broader array of educational computer

applications such as simulations or instruction in computer programming There is major

national push for extended application of computer based education at educational levels For

8

example in the mid-1980s private several colleges and Universities required all their freshmen

students to buy a specific kind of Micro-computers and others invested heavily in visions of

ldquowired

Campusrdquo

Kling (1983) avers that computer-based education has been promoted with two different

underlying ideologies in all levels of education Some educators argue that computer- based

instructional approaches can help fulfill the traditional values of progressive education the

simulation of intellectual curiosity initiative and democratic experiences For examples (1984)

has argued that computerized universities are qualitatively different than traditional universities

College students with micro computers in their dorm rooms will be more stimulated to learn

because they will have easy access to instructional materials and more interesting problems to

solve Papert (1979) argues that in a new computer ndash based school cultivate students will no

longer simply be taught mathematics These visions portray an enchanted social order

transformed by advanced computing technologies Other advocates are a bites romantic but not

less enthusiastic

For example Cole (1972) states because of the insatiable desire of students for more and more

information at a higher level of complexity and more sophisticated level of utilization more

effective means of communication must be used Computers can provide a unique vehicle for

this transmissionrdquo Hence it is important to note that computer-based education goes a long way

in helping the students as well as the staff to effectively make use of the computerized course

registration system It also helps in convincing the stakeholders of the importance and need for

adopting the computerized admission registration and result processing system as it provides

effective and accurate handling of studentrsquos files

9

Therefore a computerized course registration system is usually a system which is implemented

with a computer to achieve the utmost efficiency and desired goals In well developed countries

where education systems are computerized course registration system should be andor is one of

the modules contained in the college portal A ldquoCollege Portalrdquo therefore is personalized

software that captures the entire education business process and makes all operations accessible

via the web thus allowing schools to effectively serve all stakeholders students lecturers

administrators and parents It provides many functionalities including Admissions Registration

Financial Services (transactions- processing) Exams amp Records Grading Staff Management

Facility Management Student self-care (My school)Alumni Records Library and College shop

etc and supports workflow and Messaging and provides other collaboration tools and advanced

reporting engines

Russell M (1987) dealt extensively on the need for the use of computers on such database

system like computerized course registration system In the words of Dimorji (2003) at the

center of any information system is a database which is any collection of related information

grouped together as a simple item The term canalso apply to the ways in which information is

catalog used analyzed stored and used manually

Russell was also of the view that without a computer effective handling of Candidatesrsquo records

cannot be achieved effectively According to him ldquoThe oxford University has more than ninety-

six thousand studentrsquos records No person would precisely remember the details of these

recordsrdquo The computer is the most possible application to retain an unlimited number of records

with the utmost current updating possibilities This is true as can be seen as posited by

Eloba(1992) Computer in school record keeping Technical Education Today Vol 3 No182

ldquoThat at a department with over a thousand candidates with the use of computer all qualified for

10

admission only 100 candidates need to be chosen With the ranking of the scores or grades of the

candidates the management is in position to choose best candidates with the best results with

ease and on timerdquo with the use of computer Again many computerized systems have become

more than tools they are environments that people sometimes find hard to change and so on

Kling and Suzanne (1988) argue that we have much to learn about future uses and consequences

of computerization by carefully examining past and present experiences Knowing fully well

how the University program is being run(manually) studying the past and present experiences

energize the idea of computerization of the board or the program

22 RESULT PROCESSING AND ASSOCIATED CONCEPTS

221 Processing

Practically all naturally occurring processes can be viewed as examples of data processing

systems where observable information in the form of pressure light etc are converted by

human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognize as

touch sound and vision Even the interaction of non-living systems may be viewed in this way

as rudimentary information processing systems Conventional usage of the terms data processing

and information systems restricts their use to refer to the algorithmic derivations logical

deductions and statistical calculations that recur perennially in general business environments

rather than in the more expansive sense of all conversions of real-world measurements into real-

world information in say an organic biological system

The importance of high-speed data processing and communication to modern society and

economy can scarcely be exaggerated Thomas Friedman in The World is Flat (Farrar 2005)

argues that they have wrought a more profound revolution change in communication and trade

11

than did the Gutenberg printing press and have changed the world permanently in far less time

The proliferation of PCs PDAs and cellular communications the ubiquity of the internet and the

accelerating development of software that allows all of these technologies to interact on a

common communication framework have ldquoflattenedrdquo our world in Friedmanrsquos parlance by

literally erasing the significance of geography and national boundaries in the conduct of

commerce and trade Together with the emergence of the leadership and management practices

to take advantages of these ldquoflattenersrdquo and the collapse of political and economic barriers that

accompanied the end of the cold war what Friedman calls the ldquotriple convergencerdquo has literally

ldquochanged everythingrdquo Friedmanrsquos observations are supported by the words of the CEO of

Hewlett Packard that the world is entering ldquoan era in which technology will literally transform

every aspect of business every aspect of life and every aspect of society

12

CHAPTER THREE

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This chapter tries to explain or describe and analyze the existing system The research have tried

in describing and analyzing the manual system that has been in use in the stem for many years

now and is still in the record department of Computer science BIU

31 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is the only system affordable by the university at the time it was initiated

The students come to the staff in a single file in other to obtain the form or to submit the same

after due completion of the documents This has some merit since human relationship is

promoted by facial contact which in most cases brings about favoritism On the contrary the

existing system is not devoid of demerits

Since human beings are impatient to accept and tolerate individual difference in fact this is one

of the reasons why we have strongly encouraged the online students record system

The analysis of the existing system will do justice in pointing out the different stages involved in

manual method of student record process This ranges from the purchase of the form to the

submission processing and publication of names the registration point

Since the researchers are taking the study from the students record system to identify the

existing problem because narrowed down to the use of documentation interview and

experienceobservational method since the project is both theoretical as well as practically

oriented one

13

Documentation This type of method collects data from a given document that is relevant to the

issue at stake These documents contain records of vital events that can help the researcher It

also continue vital information on varied concepts There are facts on different issues that are

documented for different use and in different time by people from various aspects of life

Interview The primary of interview is to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data which

are current as well as desired regarding the users requirements policies procedures and

practice The researchers adopted oral or face-to-face interview technique so as to obtain

authentic and relevant data This responses were satisfactory

Observationexperience Method This is a method used in collecting information about a

person or events persons involve will not be aware that someone is taking record of their lives

The record is collected at the personrsquos natural state and different intervals

The researchers were sometime involved in this process and know a considerable events about

the system coupled with their observation of other students at different intervals gave rise to this

write-ups

32 OBJECTIVES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system that has been in operation in studentrsquos record process of BIU is the

manual system And there are some objectives upon which they are expected to achieve

Therefore the following objectives are to be achieved

To make students be at ease in coming into the school without

Frustration

To help students obtain record successfully

14

To assist students in processing their forms

To help students register without difficulties

To offer students record that cannot be denied

33 INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT ANALYSIS

By input analysis the researcher hope to analyze students data

In offering this record the following were used Name of candidate Registration number course

PROCESS ANALYSIS

The processing takes place here The data will be queued according as they should be and be

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

16

Candidate Registration number

Sex (optional)

Year of record (where applicable)

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

15 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study will be limited to the design and limitation of online student record

system

The system developed will only cover registration of students result processing and security of

studentsrsquo record functions

16 LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

In the course of this design some factors led to constraints in the effective actualization of the

project

The duration for this project was too small for the study to be carried out in a more complex

scope There were some other programmes like exams to be attended to which curtailed the

time spent on the project The above constraint led to limiting the application functionalities

The limited resources available for carrying out this project posed a major constraint There

was much work to be done but limited cash was available The available related materials in

this research topic were insufficient and some of the respondents were unwilling to supply

useful information

17 DEFINITION OF TECHNICAL TERMS

CHAPTER TWO

LITERATURE REVIEW

20 INTRODUCTION

21 COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND OTHER RELATED CONCEPTS

The introduction of computer into information technology has massively improved the

information need of organization the success of this machine is dependent on the knowledge

base Therefore one can be prompted to ask aloud ldquowhat is computerrdquo Funk (1980) defined a

computer as an electronic device that can perform automatically and at a high speed a sequence

of logical operations according to instructions given to it inform of a pre-arranged program

Anigbogu (2000) defined a computer as an electronic device capable of accepting data and

instructions processing the data based on the instructions to generate results or output in such a

manner that is yet to be equaled by any other known machine to mankind

Chimezie (1990) stated that ldquoComputers are looked upon as obedient servants who are ever

ready to free man from tedious procedures and produce results as compared with human

computing timerdquo

Obilikwu (1995) described computer as a machine that is capable of accepting input data store

and process the data based on instructions given by the computer user and in this way produce

expected results generally called output These definitions of computer would lead us to answer

the question ldquowhat is a programrdquo

In his definition Obilikwu (1995) defined a program as a sequence of instructions given to the

computer to perform a specific operation From Encarta Encyclopedia computer program is a set

of instructions that directs a computer to perform some processing function or combination of

functions The above definitions of computer clearly demonstrated the limitless area of

6

operations of computer in as much as such task is programmable Computer is applicable in

virtually all areas of human endeavor ranging from Agriculture Education

Business Sports Entertainment Medicine Construction and Military etc French (1992) in his

book titledrdquo computer Sciencerdquo fourth edition he relates the relevance of computer to

management and stated that ldquoa company needs information in which to base decisions

concerning the current operations and future plans It requires the information to be timely and

accuraterdquo He then cited the example of the use of computer in the area of management control

toproduction and stated ldquoproduction must be able to respond quickly to changes in demand and

other circumstances To do so requires the provision of up to date information this is accurate

and timelyrdquo

Aluko (1991) stated that ldquoin virtually any job whether clerical technical business or

professional whether it is a banking medicine education etc Computers are useful toolsrdquo and

that ldquocomputers are tools with which we calculate measure assess store retrieve regulate and

monitor informationrdquo Hence the blood and life wire of any system is information A typical

system (Education Managementetc) cannot survive without good management information

system (MIS)

Management Information System (MIS) are information systems typically computer-based that

are used within an organization The concept of Management Information System is a complex

variable although Murdick (1971) simplified it when he said ldquothere is probably no more

challenging and diversified subject than management theory system theory and computer

sciencerdquo

Admission processing system result processing system course registration system is typical

information processing system or organizational information system on candidatesrsquo admission

7

and performances World Net describes an information system (IS) as ldquoa system consisting of the

network of all communication channels used within an organization and includes software and

hardwarerdquo It may also be defined as ldquoa system that collects and processes data (information) and

provides it to mangers at all levels that use it for decision making planning program

implementation and control

The aim of information system to admission registration and result processing in universities is

improving the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved as well as assisting

universities in compiling and reporting information

The information system (IS) has common data set on admission admittance regulations of

different universities and admission procedures Computerization is a social process for

providing access to and support for computer equipment to be used in activities such as teaching

accounting writing designing circuits file processing etc Computerization entails social

choices about the levels of appropriate investment and control over equipment and expertise as

well as choices of equipment

Dunlop and Kling (1991) by the early 1990s computing and telecommunications accounted for

half of the capital investments made by private firms However paper (1980) Feigenbaum and

McCorduck (1983) and Yourdon (1986) stated that the most fervent advocates of

computerization have argued that the actual pace of computerization in schools factories and

homes is too slow

Taylor (1980) classified computer-based education includes both computer-assisted instruction

programs that interact with students in a dialogue and a broader array of educational computer

applications such as simulations or instruction in computer programming There is major

national push for extended application of computer based education at educational levels For

8

example in the mid-1980s private several colleges and Universities required all their freshmen

students to buy a specific kind of Micro-computers and others invested heavily in visions of

ldquowired

Campusrdquo

Kling (1983) avers that computer-based education has been promoted with two different

underlying ideologies in all levels of education Some educators argue that computer- based

instructional approaches can help fulfill the traditional values of progressive education the

simulation of intellectual curiosity initiative and democratic experiences For examples (1984)

has argued that computerized universities are qualitatively different than traditional universities

College students with micro computers in their dorm rooms will be more stimulated to learn

because they will have easy access to instructional materials and more interesting problems to

solve Papert (1979) argues that in a new computer ndash based school cultivate students will no

longer simply be taught mathematics These visions portray an enchanted social order

transformed by advanced computing technologies Other advocates are a bites romantic but not

less enthusiastic

For example Cole (1972) states because of the insatiable desire of students for more and more

information at a higher level of complexity and more sophisticated level of utilization more

effective means of communication must be used Computers can provide a unique vehicle for

this transmissionrdquo Hence it is important to note that computer-based education goes a long way

in helping the students as well as the staff to effectively make use of the computerized course

registration system It also helps in convincing the stakeholders of the importance and need for

adopting the computerized admission registration and result processing system as it provides

effective and accurate handling of studentrsquos files

9

Therefore a computerized course registration system is usually a system which is implemented

with a computer to achieve the utmost efficiency and desired goals In well developed countries

where education systems are computerized course registration system should be andor is one of

the modules contained in the college portal A ldquoCollege Portalrdquo therefore is personalized

software that captures the entire education business process and makes all operations accessible

via the web thus allowing schools to effectively serve all stakeholders students lecturers

administrators and parents It provides many functionalities including Admissions Registration

Financial Services (transactions- processing) Exams amp Records Grading Staff Management

Facility Management Student self-care (My school)Alumni Records Library and College shop

etc and supports workflow and Messaging and provides other collaboration tools and advanced

reporting engines

Russell M (1987) dealt extensively on the need for the use of computers on such database

system like computerized course registration system In the words of Dimorji (2003) at the

center of any information system is a database which is any collection of related information

grouped together as a simple item The term canalso apply to the ways in which information is

catalog used analyzed stored and used manually

Russell was also of the view that without a computer effective handling of Candidatesrsquo records

cannot be achieved effectively According to him ldquoThe oxford University has more than ninety-

six thousand studentrsquos records No person would precisely remember the details of these

recordsrdquo The computer is the most possible application to retain an unlimited number of records

with the utmost current updating possibilities This is true as can be seen as posited by

Eloba(1992) Computer in school record keeping Technical Education Today Vol 3 No182

ldquoThat at a department with over a thousand candidates with the use of computer all qualified for

10

admission only 100 candidates need to be chosen With the ranking of the scores or grades of the

candidates the management is in position to choose best candidates with the best results with

ease and on timerdquo with the use of computer Again many computerized systems have become

more than tools they are environments that people sometimes find hard to change and so on

Kling and Suzanne (1988) argue that we have much to learn about future uses and consequences

of computerization by carefully examining past and present experiences Knowing fully well

how the University program is being run(manually) studying the past and present experiences

energize the idea of computerization of the board or the program

22 RESULT PROCESSING AND ASSOCIATED CONCEPTS

221 Processing

Practically all naturally occurring processes can be viewed as examples of data processing

systems where observable information in the form of pressure light etc are converted by

human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognize as

touch sound and vision Even the interaction of non-living systems may be viewed in this way

as rudimentary information processing systems Conventional usage of the terms data processing

and information systems restricts their use to refer to the algorithmic derivations logical

deductions and statistical calculations that recur perennially in general business environments

rather than in the more expansive sense of all conversions of real-world measurements into real-

world information in say an organic biological system

The importance of high-speed data processing and communication to modern society and

economy can scarcely be exaggerated Thomas Friedman in The World is Flat (Farrar 2005)

argues that they have wrought a more profound revolution change in communication and trade

11

than did the Gutenberg printing press and have changed the world permanently in far less time

The proliferation of PCs PDAs and cellular communications the ubiquity of the internet and the

accelerating development of software that allows all of these technologies to interact on a

common communication framework have ldquoflattenedrdquo our world in Friedmanrsquos parlance by

literally erasing the significance of geography and national boundaries in the conduct of

commerce and trade Together with the emergence of the leadership and management practices

to take advantages of these ldquoflattenersrdquo and the collapse of political and economic barriers that

accompanied the end of the cold war what Friedman calls the ldquotriple convergencerdquo has literally

ldquochanged everythingrdquo Friedmanrsquos observations are supported by the words of the CEO of

Hewlett Packard that the world is entering ldquoan era in which technology will literally transform

every aspect of business every aspect of life and every aspect of society

12

CHAPTER THREE

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This chapter tries to explain or describe and analyze the existing system The research have tried

in describing and analyzing the manual system that has been in use in the stem for many years

now and is still in the record department of Computer science BIU

31 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is the only system affordable by the university at the time it was initiated

The students come to the staff in a single file in other to obtain the form or to submit the same

after due completion of the documents This has some merit since human relationship is

promoted by facial contact which in most cases brings about favoritism On the contrary the

existing system is not devoid of demerits

Since human beings are impatient to accept and tolerate individual difference in fact this is one

of the reasons why we have strongly encouraged the online students record system

The analysis of the existing system will do justice in pointing out the different stages involved in

manual method of student record process This ranges from the purchase of the form to the

submission processing and publication of names the registration point

Since the researchers are taking the study from the students record system to identify the

existing problem because narrowed down to the use of documentation interview and

experienceobservational method since the project is both theoretical as well as practically

oriented one

13

Documentation This type of method collects data from a given document that is relevant to the

issue at stake These documents contain records of vital events that can help the researcher It

also continue vital information on varied concepts There are facts on different issues that are

documented for different use and in different time by people from various aspects of life

Interview The primary of interview is to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data which

are current as well as desired regarding the users requirements policies procedures and

practice The researchers adopted oral or face-to-face interview technique so as to obtain

authentic and relevant data This responses were satisfactory

Observationexperience Method This is a method used in collecting information about a

person or events persons involve will not be aware that someone is taking record of their lives

The record is collected at the personrsquos natural state and different intervals

The researchers were sometime involved in this process and know a considerable events about

the system coupled with their observation of other students at different intervals gave rise to this

write-ups

32 OBJECTIVES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system that has been in operation in studentrsquos record process of BIU is the

manual system And there are some objectives upon which they are expected to achieve

Therefore the following objectives are to be achieved

To make students be at ease in coming into the school without

Frustration

To help students obtain record successfully

14

To assist students in processing their forms

To help students register without difficulties

To offer students record that cannot be denied

33 INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT ANALYSIS

By input analysis the researcher hope to analyze students data

In offering this record the following were used Name of candidate Registration number course

PROCESS ANALYSIS

The processing takes place here The data will be queued according as they should be and be

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

16

Candidate Registration number

Sex (optional)

Year of record (where applicable)

Course of study

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

LITERATURE REVIEW

20 INTRODUCTION

21 COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND OTHER RELATED CONCEPTS

The introduction of computer into information technology has massively improved the

information need of organization the success of this machine is dependent on the knowledge

base Therefore one can be prompted to ask aloud ldquowhat is computerrdquo Funk (1980) defined a

computer as an electronic device that can perform automatically and at a high speed a sequence

of logical operations according to instructions given to it inform of a pre-arranged program

Anigbogu (2000) defined a computer as an electronic device capable of accepting data and

instructions processing the data based on the instructions to generate results or output in such a

manner that is yet to be equaled by any other known machine to mankind

Chimezie (1990) stated that ldquoComputers are looked upon as obedient servants who are ever

ready to free man from tedious procedures and produce results as compared with human

computing timerdquo

Obilikwu (1995) described computer as a machine that is capable of accepting input data store

and process the data based on instructions given by the computer user and in this way produce

expected results generally called output These definitions of computer would lead us to answer

the question ldquowhat is a programrdquo

In his definition Obilikwu (1995) defined a program as a sequence of instructions given to the

computer to perform a specific operation From Encarta Encyclopedia computer program is a set

of instructions that directs a computer to perform some processing function or combination of

functions The above definitions of computer clearly demonstrated the limitless area of

6

operations of computer in as much as such task is programmable Computer is applicable in

virtually all areas of human endeavor ranging from Agriculture Education

Business Sports Entertainment Medicine Construction and Military etc French (1992) in his

book titledrdquo computer Sciencerdquo fourth edition he relates the relevance of computer to

management and stated that ldquoa company needs information in which to base decisions

concerning the current operations and future plans It requires the information to be timely and

accuraterdquo He then cited the example of the use of computer in the area of management control

toproduction and stated ldquoproduction must be able to respond quickly to changes in demand and

other circumstances To do so requires the provision of up to date information this is accurate

and timelyrdquo

Aluko (1991) stated that ldquoin virtually any job whether clerical technical business or

professional whether it is a banking medicine education etc Computers are useful toolsrdquo and

that ldquocomputers are tools with which we calculate measure assess store retrieve regulate and

monitor informationrdquo Hence the blood and life wire of any system is information A typical

system (Education Managementetc) cannot survive without good management information

system (MIS)

Management Information System (MIS) are information systems typically computer-based that

are used within an organization The concept of Management Information System is a complex

variable although Murdick (1971) simplified it when he said ldquothere is probably no more

challenging and diversified subject than management theory system theory and computer

sciencerdquo

Admission processing system result processing system course registration system is typical

information processing system or organizational information system on candidatesrsquo admission

7

and performances World Net describes an information system (IS) as ldquoa system consisting of the

network of all communication channels used within an organization and includes software and

hardwarerdquo It may also be defined as ldquoa system that collects and processes data (information) and

provides it to mangers at all levels that use it for decision making planning program

implementation and control

The aim of information system to admission registration and result processing in universities is

improving the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved as well as assisting

universities in compiling and reporting information

The information system (IS) has common data set on admission admittance regulations of

different universities and admission procedures Computerization is a social process for

providing access to and support for computer equipment to be used in activities such as teaching

accounting writing designing circuits file processing etc Computerization entails social

choices about the levels of appropriate investment and control over equipment and expertise as

well as choices of equipment

Dunlop and Kling (1991) by the early 1990s computing and telecommunications accounted for

half of the capital investments made by private firms However paper (1980) Feigenbaum and

McCorduck (1983) and Yourdon (1986) stated that the most fervent advocates of

computerization have argued that the actual pace of computerization in schools factories and

homes is too slow

Taylor (1980) classified computer-based education includes both computer-assisted instruction

programs that interact with students in a dialogue and a broader array of educational computer

applications such as simulations or instruction in computer programming There is major

national push for extended application of computer based education at educational levels For

8

example in the mid-1980s private several colleges and Universities required all their freshmen

students to buy a specific kind of Micro-computers and others invested heavily in visions of

ldquowired

Campusrdquo

Kling (1983) avers that computer-based education has been promoted with two different

underlying ideologies in all levels of education Some educators argue that computer- based

instructional approaches can help fulfill the traditional values of progressive education the

simulation of intellectual curiosity initiative and democratic experiences For examples (1984)

has argued that computerized universities are qualitatively different than traditional universities

College students with micro computers in their dorm rooms will be more stimulated to learn

because they will have easy access to instructional materials and more interesting problems to

solve Papert (1979) argues that in a new computer ndash based school cultivate students will no

longer simply be taught mathematics These visions portray an enchanted social order

transformed by advanced computing technologies Other advocates are a bites romantic but not

less enthusiastic

For example Cole (1972) states because of the insatiable desire of students for more and more

information at a higher level of complexity and more sophisticated level of utilization more

effective means of communication must be used Computers can provide a unique vehicle for

this transmissionrdquo Hence it is important to note that computer-based education goes a long way

in helping the students as well as the staff to effectively make use of the computerized course

registration system It also helps in convincing the stakeholders of the importance and need for

adopting the computerized admission registration and result processing system as it provides

effective and accurate handling of studentrsquos files

9

Therefore a computerized course registration system is usually a system which is implemented

with a computer to achieve the utmost efficiency and desired goals In well developed countries

where education systems are computerized course registration system should be andor is one of

the modules contained in the college portal A ldquoCollege Portalrdquo therefore is personalized

software that captures the entire education business process and makes all operations accessible

via the web thus allowing schools to effectively serve all stakeholders students lecturers

administrators and parents It provides many functionalities including Admissions Registration

Financial Services (transactions- processing) Exams amp Records Grading Staff Management

Facility Management Student self-care (My school)Alumni Records Library and College shop

etc and supports workflow and Messaging and provides other collaboration tools and advanced

reporting engines

Russell M (1987) dealt extensively on the need for the use of computers on such database

system like computerized course registration system In the words of Dimorji (2003) at the

center of any information system is a database which is any collection of related information

grouped together as a simple item The term canalso apply to the ways in which information is

catalog used analyzed stored and used manually

Russell was also of the view that without a computer effective handling of Candidatesrsquo records

cannot be achieved effectively According to him ldquoThe oxford University has more than ninety-

six thousand studentrsquos records No person would precisely remember the details of these

recordsrdquo The computer is the most possible application to retain an unlimited number of records

with the utmost current updating possibilities This is true as can be seen as posited by

Eloba(1992) Computer in school record keeping Technical Education Today Vol 3 No182

ldquoThat at a department with over a thousand candidates with the use of computer all qualified for

10

admission only 100 candidates need to be chosen With the ranking of the scores or grades of the

candidates the management is in position to choose best candidates with the best results with

ease and on timerdquo with the use of computer Again many computerized systems have become

more than tools they are environments that people sometimes find hard to change and so on

Kling and Suzanne (1988) argue that we have much to learn about future uses and consequences

of computerization by carefully examining past and present experiences Knowing fully well

how the University program is being run(manually) studying the past and present experiences

energize the idea of computerization of the board or the program

22 RESULT PROCESSING AND ASSOCIATED CONCEPTS

221 Processing

Practically all naturally occurring processes can be viewed as examples of data processing

systems where observable information in the form of pressure light etc are converted by

human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognize as

touch sound and vision Even the interaction of non-living systems may be viewed in this way

as rudimentary information processing systems Conventional usage of the terms data processing

and information systems restricts their use to refer to the algorithmic derivations logical

deductions and statistical calculations that recur perennially in general business environments

rather than in the more expansive sense of all conversions of real-world measurements into real-

world information in say an organic biological system

The importance of high-speed data processing and communication to modern society and

economy can scarcely be exaggerated Thomas Friedman in The World is Flat (Farrar 2005)

argues that they have wrought a more profound revolution change in communication and trade

11

than did the Gutenberg printing press and have changed the world permanently in far less time

The proliferation of PCs PDAs and cellular communications the ubiquity of the internet and the

accelerating development of software that allows all of these technologies to interact on a

common communication framework have ldquoflattenedrdquo our world in Friedmanrsquos parlance by

literally erasing the significance of geography and national boundaries in the conduct of

commerce and trade Together with the emergence of the leadership and management practices

to take advantages of these ldquoflattenersrdquo and the collapse of political and economic barriers that

accompanied the end of the cold war what Friedman calls the ldquotriple convergencerdquo has literally

ldquochanged everythingrdquo Friedmanrsquos observations are supported by the words of the CEO of

Hewlett Packard that the world is entering ldquoan era in which technology will literally transform

every aspect of business every aspect of life and every aspect of society

12

CHAPTER THREE

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This chapter tries to explain or describe and analyze the existing system The research have tried

in describing and analyzing the manual system that has been in use in the stem for many years

now and is still in the record department of Computer science BIU

31 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is the only system affordable by the university at the time it was initiated

The students come to the staff in a single file in other to obtain the form or to submit the same

after due completion of the documents This has some merit since human relationship is

promoted by facial contact which in most cases brings about favoritism On the contrary the

existing system is not devoid of demerits

Since human beings are impatient to accept and tolerate individual difference in fact this is one

of the reasons why we have strongly encouraged the online students record system

The analysis of the existing system will do justice in pointing out the different stages involved in

manual method of student record process This ranges from the purchase of the form to the

submission processing and publication of names the registration point

Since the researchers are taking the study from the students record system to identify the

existing problem because narrowed down to the use of documentation interview and

experienceobservational method since the project is both theoretical as well as practically

oriented one

13

Documentation This type of method collects data from a given document that is relevant to the

issue at stake These documents contain records of vital events that can help the researcher It

also continue vital information on varied concepts There are facts on different issues that are

documented for different use and in different time by people from various aspects of life

Interview The primary of interview is to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data which

are current as well as desired regarding the users requirements policies procedures and

practice The researchers adopted oral or face-to-face interview technique so as to obtain

authentic and relevant data This responses were satisfactory

Observationexperience Method This is a method used in collecting information about a

person or events persons involve will not be aware that someone is taking record of their lives

The record is collected at the personrsquos natural state and different intervals

The researchers were sometime involved in this process and know a considerable events about

the system coupled with their observation of other students at different intervals gave rise to this

write-ups

32 OBJECTIVES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system that has been in operation in studentrsquos record process of BIU is the

manual system And there are some objectives upon which they are expected to achieve

Therefore the following objectives are to be achieved

To make students be at ease in coming into the school without

Frustration

To help students obtain record successfully

14

To assist students in processing their forms

To help students register without difficulties

To offer students record that cannot be denied

33 INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT ANALYSIS

By input analysis the researcher hope to analyze students data

In offering this record the following were used Name of candidate Registration number course

PROCESS ANALYSIS

The processing takes place here The data will be queued according as they should be and be

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

16

Candidate Registration number

Sex (optional)

Year of record (where applicable)

Course of study

Date of Birth

Name of the institution attended

Name of the institution applied to

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

45 INSTALLATIONS OF SOFTWARE AND NEW PROGRAMS USERS

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

LITERATURE REVIEW

20 INTRODUCTION

21 COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND OTHER RELATED CONCEPTS

The introduction of computer into information technology has massively improved the

information need of organization the success of this machine is dependent on the knowledge

base Therefore one can be prompted to ask aloud ldquowhat is computerrdquo Funk (1980) defined a

computer as an electronic device that can perform automatically and at a high speed a sequence

of logical operations according to instructions given to it inform of a pre-arranged program

Anigbogu (2000) defined a computer as an electronic device capable of accepting data and

instructions processing the data based on the instructions to generate results or output in such a

manner that is yet to be equaled by any other known machine to mankind

Chimezie (1990) stated that ldquoComputers are looked upon as obedient servants who are ever

ready to free man from tedious procedures and produce results as compared with human

computing timerdquo

Obilikwu (1995) described computer as a machine that is capable of accepting input data store

and process the data based on instructions given by the computer user and in this way produce

expected results generally called output These definitions of computer would lead us to answer

the question ldquowhat is a programrdquo

In his definition Obilikwu (1995) defined a program as a sequence of instructions given to the

computer to perform a specific operation From Encarta Encyclopedia computer program is a set

of instructions that directs a computer to perform some processing function or combination of

functions The above definitions of computer clearly demonstrated the limitless area of

6

operations of computer in as much as such task is programmable Computer is applicable in

virtually all areas of human endeavor ranging from Agriculture Education

Business Sports Entertainment Medicine Construction and Military etc French (1992) in his

book titledrdquo computer Sciencerdquo fourth edition he relates the relevance of computer to

management and stated that ldquoa company needs information in which to base decisions

concerning the current operations and future plans It requires the information to be timely and

accuraterdquo He then cited the example of the use of computer in the area of management control

toproduction and stated ldquoproduction must be able to respond quickly to changes in demand and

other circumstances To do so requires the provision of up to date information this is accurate

and timelyrdquo

Aluko (1991) stated that ldquoin virtually any job whether clerical technical business or

professional whether it is a banking medicine education etc Computers are useful toolsrdquo and

that ldquocomputers are tools with which we calculate measure assess store retrieve regulate and

monitor informationrdquo Hence the blood and life wire of any system is information A typical

system (Education Managementetc) cannot survive without good management information

system (MIS)

Management Information System (MIS) are information systems typically computer-based that

are used within an organization The concept of Management Information System is a complex

variable although Murdick (1971) simplified it when he said ldquothere is probably no more

challenging and diversified subject than management theory system theory and computer

sciencerdquo

Admission processing system result processing system course registration system is typical

information processing system or organizational information system on candidatesrsquo admission

7

and performances World Net describes an information system (IS) as ldquoa system consisting of the

network of all communication channels used within an organization and includes software and

hardwarerdquo It may also be defined as ldquoa system that collects and processes data (information) and

provides it to mangers at all levels that use it for decision making planning program

implementation and control

The aim of information system to admission registration and result processing in universities is

improving the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved as well as assisting

universities in compiling and reporting information

The information system (IS) has common data set on admission admittance regulations of

different universities and admission procedures Computerization is a social process for

providing access to and support for computer equipment to be used in activities such as teaching

accounting writing designing circuits file processing etc Computerization entails social

choices about the levels of appropriate investment and control over equipment and expertise as

well as choices of equipment

Dunlop and Kling (1991) by the early 1990s computing and telecommunications accounted for

half of the capital investments made by private firms However paper (1980) Feigenbaum and

McCorduck (1983) and Yourdon (1986) stated that the most fervent advocates of

computerization have argued that the actual pace of computerization in schools factories and

homes is too slow

Taylor (1980) classified computer-based education includes both computer-assisted instruction

programs that interact with students in a dialogue and a broader array of educational computer

applications such as simulations or instruction in computer programming There is major

national push for extended application of computer based education at educational levels For

8

example in the mid-1980s private several colleges and Universities required all their freshmen

students to buy a specific kind of Micro-computers and others invested heavily in visions of

ldquowired

Campusrdquo

Kling (1983) avers that computer-based education has been promoted with two different

underlying ideologies in all levels of education Some educators argue that computer- based

instructional approaches can help fulfill the traditional values of progressive education the

simulation of intellectual curiosity initiative and democratic experiences For examples (1984)

has argued that computerized universities are qualitatively different than traditional universities

College students with micro computers in their dorm rooms will be more stimulated to learn

because they will have easy access to instructional materials and more interesting problems to

solve Papert (1979) argues that in a new computer ndash based school cultivate students will no

longer simply be taught mathematics These visions portray an enchanted social order

transformed by advanced computing technologies Other advocates are a bites romantic but not

less enthusiastic

For example Cole (1972) states because of the insatiable desire of students for more and more

information at a higher level of complexity and more sophisticated level of utilization more

effective means of communication must be used Computers can provide a unique vehicle for

this transmissionrdquo Hence it is important to note that computer-based education goes a long way

in helping the students as well as the staff to effectively make use of the computerized course

registration system It also helps in convincing the stakeholders of the importance and need for

adopting the computerized admission registration and result processing system as it provides

effective and accurate handling of studentrsquos files

9

Therefore a computerized course registration system is usually a system which is implemented

with a computer to achieve the utmost efficiency and desired goals In well developed countries

where education systems are computerized course registration system should be andor is one of

the modules contained in the college portal A ldquoCollege Portalrdquo therefore is personalized

software that captures the entire education business process and makes all operations accessible

via the web thus allowing schools to effectively serve all stakeholders students lecturers

administrators and parents It provides many functionalities including Admissions Registration

Financial Services (transactions- processing) Exams amp Records Grading Staff Management

Facility Management Student self-care (My school)Alumni Records Library and College shop

etc and supports workflow and Messaging and provides other collaboration tools and advanced

reporting engines

Russell M (1987) dealt extensively on the need for the use of computers on such database

system like computerized course registration system In the words of Dimorji (2003) at the

center of any information system is a database which is any collection of related information

grouped together as a simple item The term canalso apply to the ways in which information is

catalog used analyzed stored and used manually

Russell was also of the view that without a computer effective handling of Candidatesrsquo records

cannot be achieved effectively According to him ldquoThe oxford University has more than ninety-

six thousand studentrsquos records No person would precisely remember the details of these

recordsrdquo The computer is the most possible application to retain an unlimited number of records

with the utmost current updating possibilities This is true as can be seen as posited by

Eloba(1992) Computer in school record keeping Technical Education Today Vol 3 No182

ldquoThat at a department with over a thousand candidates with the use of computer all qualified for

10

admission only 100 candidates need to be chosen With the ranking of the scores or grades of the

candidates the management is in position to choose best candidates with the best results with

ease and on timerdquo with the use of computer Again many computerized systems have become

more than tools they are environments that people sometimes find hard to change and so on

Kling and Suzanne (1988) argue that we have much to learn about future uses and consequences

of computerization by carefully examining past and present experiences Knowing fully well

how the University program is being run(manually) studying the past and present experiences

energize the idea of computerization of the board or the program

22 RESULT PROCESSING AND ASSOCIATED CONCEPTS

221 Processing

Practically all naturally occurring processes can be viewed as examples of data processing

systems where observable information in the form of pressure light etc are converted by

human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognize as

touch sound and vision Even the interaction of non-living systems may be viewed in this way

as rudimentary information processing systems Conventional usage of the terms data processing

and information systems restricts their use to refer to the algorithmic derivations logical

deductions and statistical calculations that recur perennially in general business environments

rather than in the more expansive sense of all conversions of real-world measurements into real-

world information in say an organic biological system

The importance of high-speed data processing and communication to modern society and

economy can scarcely be exaggerated Thomas Friedman in The World is Flat (Farrar 2005)

argues that they have wrought a more profound revolution change in communication and trade

11

than did the Gutenberg printing press and have changed the world permanently in far less time

The proliferation of PCs PDAs and cellular communications the ubiquity of the internet and the

accelerating development of software that allows all of these technologies to interact on a

common communication framework have ldquoflattenedrdquo our world in Friedmanrsquos parlance by

literally erasing the significance of geography and national boundaries in the conduct of

commerce and trade Together with the emergence of the leadership and management practices

to take advantages of these ldquoflattenersrdquo and the collapse of political and economic barriers that

accompanied the end of the cold war what Friedman calls the ldquotriple convergencerdquo has literally

ldquochanged everythingrdquo Friedmanrsquos observations are supported by the words of the CEO of

Hewlett Packard that the world is entering ldquoan era in which technology will literally transform

every aspect of business every aspect of life and every aspect of society

12

CHAPTER THREE

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This chapter tries to explain or describe and analyze the existing system The research have tried

in describing and analyzing the manual system that has been in use in the stem for many years

now and is still in the record department of Computer science BIU

31 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is the only system affordable by the university at the time it was initiated

The students come to the staff in a single file in other to obtain the form or to submit the same

after due completion of the documents This has some merit since human relationship is

promoted by facial contact which in most cases brings about favoritism On the contrary the

existing system is not devoid of demerits

Since human beings are impatient to accept and tolerate individual difference in fact this is one

of the reasons why we have strongly encouraged the online students record system

The analysis of the existing system will do justice in pointing out the different stages involved in

manual method of student record process This ranges from the purchase of the form to the

submission processing and publication of names the registration point

Since the researchers are taking the study from the students record system to identify the

existing problem because narrowed down to the use of documentation interview and

experienceobservational method since the project is both theoretical as well as practically

oriented one

13

Documentation This type of method collects data from a given document that is relevant to the

issue at stake These documents contain records of vital events that can help the researcher It

also continue vital information on varied concepts There are facts on different issues that are

documented for different use and in different time by people from various aspects of life

Interview The primary of interview is to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data which

are current as well as desired regarding the users requirements policies procedures and

practice The researchers adopted oral or face-to-face interview technique so as to obtain

authentic and relevant data This responses were satisfactory

Observationexperience Method This is a method used in collecting information about a

person or events persons involve will not be aware that someone is taking record of their lives

The record is collected at the personrsquos natural state and different intervals

The researchers were sometime involved in this process and know a considerable events about

the system coupled with their observation of other students at different intervals gave rise to this

write-ups

32 OBJECTIVES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system that has been in operation in studentrsquos record process of BIU is the

manual system And there are some objectives upon which they are expected to achieve

Therefore the following objectives are to be achieved

To make students be at ease in coming into the school without

Frustration

To help students obtain record successfully

14

To assist students in processing their forms

To help students register without difficulties

To offer students record that cannot be denied

33 INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT ANALYSIS

By input analysis the researcher hope to analyze students data

In offering this record the following were used Name of candidate Registration number course

PROCESS ANALYSIS

The processing takes place here The data will be queued according as they should be and be

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

16

Candidate Registration number

Sex (optional)

Year of record (where applicable)

Course of study

Date of Birth

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

45 INSTALLATIONS OF SOFTWARE AND NEW PROGRAMS USERS

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

operations of computer in as much as such task is programmable Computer is applicable in

virtually all areas of human endeavor ranging from Agriculture Education

Business Sports Entertainment Medicine Construction and Military etc French (1992) in his

book titledrdquo computer Sciencerdquo fourth edition he relates the relevance of computer to

management and stated that ldquoa company needs information in which to base decisions

concerning the current operations and future plans It requires the information to be timely and

accuraterdquo He then cited the example of the use of computer in the area of management control

toproduction and stated ldquoproduction must be able to respond quickly to changes in demand and

other circumstances To do so requires the provision of up to date information this is accurate

and timelyrdquo

Aluko (1991) stated that ldquoin virtually any job whether clerical technical business or

professional whether it is a banking medicine education etc Computers are useful toolsrdquo and

that ldquocomputers are tools with which we calculate measure assess store retrieve regulate and

monitor informationrdquo Hence the blood and life wire of any system is information A typical

system (Education Managementetc) cannot survive without good management information

system (MIS)

Management Information System (MIS) are information systems typically computer-based that

are used within an organization The concept of Management Information System is a complex

variable although Murdick (1971) simplified it when he said ldquothere is probably no more

challenging and diversified subject than management theory system theory and computer

sciencerdquo

Admission processing system result processing system course registration system is typical

information processing system or organizational information system on candidatesrsquo admission

7

and performances World Net describes an information system (IS) as ldquoa system consisting of the

network of all communication channels used within an organization and includes software and

hardwarerdquo It may also be defined as ldquoa system that collects and processes data (information) and

provides it to mangers at all levels that use it for decision making planning program

implementation and control

The aim of information system to admission registration and result processing in universities is

improving the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved as well as assisting

universities in compiling and reporting information

The information system (IS) has common data set on admission admittance regulations of

different universities and admission procedures Computerization is a social process for

providing access to and support for computer equipment to be used in activities such as teaching

accounting writing designing circuits file processing etc Computerization entails social

choices about the levels of appropriate investment and control over equipment and expertise as

well as choices of equipment

Dunlop and Kling (1991) by the early 1990s computing and telecommunications accounted for

half of the capital investments made by private firms However paper (1980) Feigenbaum and

McCorduck (1983) and Yourdon (1986) stated that the most fervent advocates of

computerization have argued that the actual pace of computerization in schools factories and

homes is too slow

Taylor (1980) classified computer-based education includes both computer-assisted instruction

programs that interact with students in a dialogue and a broader array of educational computer

applications such as simulations or instruction in computer programming There is major

national push for extended application of computer based education at educational levels For

8

example in the mid-1980s private several colleges and Universities required all their freshmen

students to buy a specific kind of Micro-computers and others invested heavily in visions of

ldquowired

Campusrdquo

Kling (1983) avers that computer-based education has been promoted with two different

underlying ideologies in all levels of education Some educators argue that computer- based

instructional approaches can help fulfill the traditional values of progressive education the

simulation of intellectual curiosity initiative and democratic experiences For examples (1984)

has argued that computerized universities are qualitatively different than traditional universities

College students with micro computers in their dorm rooms will be more stimulated to learn

because they will have easy access to instructional materials and more interesting problems to

solve Papert (1979) argues that in a new computer ndash based school cultivate students will no

longer simply be taught mathematics These visions portray an enchanted social order

transformed by advanced computing technologies Other advocates are a bites romantic but not

less enthusiastic

For example Cole (1972) states because of the insatiable desire of students for more and more

information at a higher level of complexity and more sophisticated level of utilization more

effective means of communication must be used Computers can provide a unique vehicle for

this transmissionrdquo Hence it is important to note that computer-based education goes a long way

in helping the students as well as the staff to effectively make use of the computerized course

registration system It also helps in convincing the stakeholders of the importance and need for

adopting the computerized admission registration and result processing system as it provides

effective and accurate handling of studentrsquos files

9

Therefore a computerized course registration system is usually a system which is implemented

with a computer to achieve the utmost efficiency and desired goals In well developed countries

where education systems are computerized course registration system should be andor is one of

the modules contained in the college portal A ldquoCollege Portalrdquo therefore is personalized

software that captures the entire education business process and makes all operations accessible

via the web thus allowing schools to effectively serve all stakeholders students lecturers

administrators and parents It provides many functionalities including Admissions Registration

Financial Services (transactions- processing) Exams amp Records Grading Staff Management

Facility Management Student self-care (My school)Alumni Records Library and College shop

etc and supports workflow and Messaging and provides other collaboration tools and advanced

reporting engines

Russell M (1987) dealt extensively on the need for the use of computers on such database

system like computerized course registration system In the words of Dimorji (2003) at the

center of any information system is a database which is any collection of related information

grouped together as a simple item The term canalso apply to the ways in which information is

catalog used analyzed stored and used manually

Russell was also of the view that without a computer effective handling of Candidatesrsquo records

cannot be achieved effectively According to him ldquoThe oxford University has more than ninety-

six thousand studentrsquos records No person would precisely remember the details of these

recordsrdquo The computer is the most possible application to retain an unlimited number of records

with the utmost current updating possibilities This is true as can be seen as posited by

Eloba(1992) Computer in school record keeping Technical Education Today Vol 3 No182

ldquoThat at a department with over a thousand candidates with the use of computer all qualified for

10

admission only 100 candidates need to be chosen With the ranking of the scores or grades of the

candidates the management is in position to choose best candidates with the best results with

ease and on timerdquo with the use of computer Again many computerized systems have become

more than tools they are environments that people sometimes find hard to change and so on

Kling and Suzanne (1988) argue that we have much to learn about future uses and consequences

of computerization by carefully examining past and present experiences Knowing fully well

how the University program is being run(manually) studying the past and present experiences

energize the idea of computerization of the board or the program

22 RESULT PROCESSING AND ASSOCIATED CONCEPTS

221 Processing

Practically all naturally occurring processes can be viewed as examples of data processing

systems where observable information in the form of pressure light etc are converted by

human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognize as

touch sound and vision Even the interaction of non-living systems may be viewed in this way

as rudimentary information processing systems Conventional usage of the terms data processing

and information systems restricts their use to refer to the algorithmic derivations logical

deductions and statistical calculations that recur perennially in general business environments

rather than in the more expansive sense of all conversions of real-world measurements into real-

world information in say an organic biological system

The importance of high-speed data processing and communication to modern society and

economy can scarcely be exaggerated Thomas Friedman in The World is Flat (Farrar 2005)

argues that they have wrought a more profound revolution change in communication and trade

11

than did the Gutenberg printing press and have changed the world permanently in far less time

The proliferation of PCs PDAs and cellular communications the ubiquity of the internet and the

accelerating development of software that allows all of these technologies to interact on a

common communication framework have ldquoflattenedrdquo our world in Friedmanrsquos parlance by

literally erasing the significance of geography and national boundaries in the conduct of

commerce and trade Together with the emergence of the leadership and management practices

to take advantages of these ldquoflattenersrdquo and the collapse of political and economic barriers that

accompanied the end of the cold war what Friedman calls the ldquotriple convergencerdquo has literally

ldquochanged everythingrdquo Friedmanrsquos observations are supported by the words of the CEO of

Hewlett Packard that the world is entering ldquoan era in which technology will literally transform

every aspect of business every aspect of life and every aspect of society

12

CHAPTER THREE

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This chapter tries to explain or describe and analyze the existing system The research have tried

in describing and analyzing the manual system that has been in use in the stem for many years

now and is still in the record department of Computer science BIU

31 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is the only system affordable by the university at the time it was initiated

The students come to the staff in a single file in other to obtain the form or to submit the same

after due completion of the documents This has some merit since human relationship is

promoted by facial contact which in most cases brings about favoritism On the contrary the

existing system is not devoid of demerits

Since human beings are impatient to accept and tolerate individual difference in fact this is one

of the reasons why we have strongly encouraged the online students record system

The analysis of the existing system will do justice in pointing out the different stages involved in

manual method of student record process This ranges from the purchase of the form to the

submission processing and publication of names the registration point

Since the researchers are taking the study from the students record system to identify the

existing problem because narrowed down to the use of documentation interview and

experienceobservational method since the project is both theoretical as well as practically

oriented one

13

Documentation This type of method collects data from a given document that is relevant to the

issue at stake These documents contain records of vital events that can help the researcher It

also continue vital information on varied concepts There are facts on different issues that are

documented for different use and in different time by people from various aspects of life

Interview The primary of interview is to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data which

are current as well as desired regarding the users requirements policies procedures and

practice The researchers adopted oral or face-to-face interview technique so as to obtain

authentic and relevant data This responses were satisfactory

Observationexperience Method This is a method used in collecting information about a

person or events persons involve will not be aware that someone is taking record of their lives

The record is collected at the personrsquos natural state and different intervals

The researchers were sometime involved in this process and know a considerable events about

the system coupled with their observation of other students at different intervals gave rise to this

write-ups

32 OBJECTIVES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system that has been in operation in studentrsquos record process of BIU is the

manual system And there are some objectives upon which they are expected to achieve

Therefore the following objectives are to be achieved

To make students be at ease in coming into the school without

Frustration

To help students obtain record successfully

14

To assist students in processing their forms

To help students register without difficulties

To offer students record that cannot be denied

33 INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT ANALYSIS

By input analysis the researcher hope to analyze students data

In offering this record the following were used Name of candidate Registration number course

PROCESS ANALYSIS

The processing takes place here The data will be queued according as they should be and be

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

16

Candidate Registration number

Sex (optional)

Year of record (where applicable)

Course of study

Date of Birth

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

    • SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

and performances World Net describes an information system (IS) as ldquoa system consisting of the

network of all communication channels used within an organization and includes software and

hardwarerdquo It may also be defined as ldquoa system that collects and processes data (information) and

provides it to mangers at all levels that use it for decision making planning program

implementation and control

The aim of information system to admission registration and result processing in universities is

improving the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved as well as assisting

universities in compiling and reporting information

The information system (IS) has common data set on admission admittance regulations of

different universities and admission procedures Computerization is a social process for

providing access to and support for computer equipment to be used in activities such as teaching

accounting writing designing circuits file processing etc Computerization entails social

choices about the levels of appropriate investment and control over equipment and expertise as

well as choices of equipment

Dunlop and Kling (1991) by the early 1990s computing and telecommunications accounted for

half of the capital investments made by private firms However paper (1980) Feigenbaum and

McCorduck (1983) and Yourdon (1986) stated that the most fervent advocates of

computerization have argued that the actual pace of computerization in schools factories and

homes is too slow

Taylor (1980) classified computer-based education includes both computer-assisted instruction

programs that interact with students in a dialogue and a broader array of educational computer

applications such as simulations or instruction in computer programming There is major

national push for extended application of computer based education at educational levels For

8

example in the mid-1980s private several colleges and Universities required all their freshmen

students to buy a specific kind of Micro-computers and others invested heavily in visions of

ldquowired

Campusrdquo

Kling (1983) avers that computer-based education has been promoted with two different

underlying ideologies in all levels of education Some educators argue that computer- based

instructional approaches can help fulfill the traditional values of progressive education the

simulation of intellectual curiosity initiative and democratic experiences For examples (1984)

has argued that computerized universities are qualitatively different than traditional universities

College students with micro computers in their dorm rooms will be more stimulated to learn

because they will have easy access to instructional materials and more interesting problems to

solve Papert (1979) argues that in a new computer ndash based school cultivate students will no

longer simply be taught mathematics These visions portray an enchanted social order

transformed by advanced computing technologies Other advocates are a bites romantic but not

less enthusiastic

For example Cole (1972) states because of the insatiable desire of students for more and more

information at a higher level of complexity and more sophisticated level of utilization more

effective means of communication must be used Computers can provide a unique vehicle for

this transmissionrdquo Hence it is important to note that computer-based education goes a long way

in helping the students as well as the staff to effectively make use of the computerized course

registration system It also helps in convincing the stakeholders of the importance and need for

adopting the computerized admission registration and result processing system as it provides

effective and accurate handling of studentrsquos files

9

Therefore a computerized course registration system is usually a system which is implemented

with a computer to achieve the utmost efficiency and desired goals In well developed countries

where education systems are computerized course registration system should be andor is one of

the modules contained in the college portal A ldquoCollege Portalrdquo therefore is personalized

software that captures the entire education business process and makes all operations accessible

via the web thus allowing schools to effectively serve all stakeholders students lecturers

administrators and parents It provides many functionalities including Admissions Registration

Financial Services (transactions- processing) Exams amp Records Grading Staff Management

Facility Management Student self-care (My school)Alumni Records Library and College shop

etc and supports workflow and Messaging and provides other collaboration tools and advanced

reporting engines

Russell M (1987) dealt extensively on the need for the use of computers on such database

system like computerized course registration system In the words of Dimorji (2003) at the

center of any information system is a database which is any collection of related information

grouped together as a simple item The term canalso apply to the ways in which information is

catalog used analyzed stored and used manually

Russell was also of the view that without a computer effective handling of Candidatesrsquo records

cannot be achieved effectively According to him ldquoThe oxford University has more than ninety-

six thousand studentrsquos records No person would precisely remember the details of these

recordsrdquo The computer is the most possible application to retain an unlimited number of records

with the utmost current updating possibilities This is true as can be seen as posited by

Eloba(1992) Computer in school record keeping Technical Education Today Vol 3 No182

ldquoThat at a department with over a thousand candidates with the use of computer all qualified for

10

admission only 100 candidates need to be chosen With the ranking of the scores or grades of the

candidates the management is in position to choose best candidates with the best results with

ease and on timerdquo with the use of computer Again many computerized systems have become

more than tools they are environments that people sometimes find hard to change and so on

Kling and Suzanne (1988) argue that we have much to learn about future uses and consequences

of computerization by carefully examining past and present experiences Knowing fully well

how the University program is being run(manually) studying the past and present experiences

energize the idea of computerization of the board or the program

22 RESULT PROCESSING AND ASSOCIATED CONCEPTS

221 Processing

Practically all naturally occurring processes can be viewed as examples of data processing

systems where observable information in the form of pressure light etc are converted by

human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognize as

touch sound and vision Even the interaction of non-living systems may be viewed in this way

as rudimentary information processing systems Conventional usage of the terms data processing

and information systems restricts their use to refer to the algorithmic derivations logical

deductions and statistical calculations that recur perennially in general business environments

rather than in the more expansive sense of all conversions of real-world measurements into real-

world information in say an organic biological system

The importance of high-speed data processing and communication to modern society and

economy can scarcely be exaggerated Thomas Friedman in The World is Flat (Farrar 2005)

argues that they have wrought a more profound revolution change in communication and trade

11

than did the Gutenberg printing press and have changed the world permanently in far less time

The proliferation of PCs PDAs and cellular communications the ubiquity of the internet and the

accelerating development of software that allows all of these technologies to interact on a

common communication framework have ldquoflattenedrdquo our world in Friedmanrsquos parlance by

literally erasing the significance of geography and national boundaries in the conduct of

commerce and trade Together with the emergence of the leadership and management practices

to take advantages of these ldquoflattenersrdquo and the collapse of political and economic barriers that

accompanied the end of the cold war what Friedman calls the ldquotriple convergencerdquo has literally

ldquochanged everythingrdquo Friedmanrsquos observations are supported by the words of the CEO of

Hewlett Packard that the world is entering ldquoan era in which technology will literally transform

every aspect of business every aspect of life and every aspect of society

CHAPTER THREE

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This chapter tries to explain or describe and analyze the existing system The research have tried

in describing and analyzing the manual system that has been in use in the stem for many years

now and is still in the record department of Computer science BIU

31 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is the only system affordable by the university at the time it was initiated

The students come to the staff in a single file in other to obtain the form or to submit the same

after due completion of the documents This has some merit since human relationship is

promoted by facial contact which in most cases brings about favoritism On the contrary the

existing system is not devoid of demerits

Since human beings are impatient to accept and tolerate individual difference in fact this is one

of the reasons why we have strongly encouraged the online students record system

The analysis of the existing system will do justice in pointing out the different stages involved in

manual method of student record process This ranges from the purchase of the form to the

submission processing and publication of names the registration point

Since the researchers are taking the study from the students record system to identify the

existing problem because narrowed down to the use of documentation interview and

experienceobservational method since the project is both theoretical as well as practically

oriented one

13

Documentation This type of method collects data from a given document that is relevant to the

issue at stake These documents contain records of vital events that can help the researcher It

also continue vital information on varied concepts There are facts on different issues that are

documented for different use and in different time by people from various aspects of life

Interview The primary of interview is to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data which

are current as well as desired regarding the users requirements policies procedures and

practice The researchers adopted oral or face-to-face interview technique so as to obtain

authentic and relevant data This responses were satisfactory

Observationexperience Method This is a method used in collecting information about a

person or events persons involve will not be aware that someone is taking record of their lives

The record is collected at the personrsquos natural state and different intervals

The researchers were sometime involved in this process and know a considerable events about

the system coupled with their observation of other students at different intervals gave rise to this

write-ups

32 OBJECTIVES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system that has been in operation in studentrsquos record process of BIU is the

manual system And there are some objectives upon which they are expected to achieve

Therefore the following objectives are to be achieved

To make students be at ease in coming into the school without

Frustration

To help students obtain record successfully

14

To assist students in processing their forms

To help students register without difficulties

To offer students record that cannot be denied

33 INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT ANALYSIS

By input analysis the researcher hope to analyze students data

In offering this record the following were used Name of candidate Registration number course

PROCESS ANALYSIS

The processing takes place here The data will be queued according as they should be and be

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

16

Candidate Registration number

Sex (optional)

Year of record (where applicable)

Course of study

Date of Birth

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

45 INSTALLATIONS OF SOFTWARE AND NEW PROGRAMS USERS

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

example in the mid-1980s private several colleges and Universities required all their freshmen

students to buy a specific kind of Micro-computers and others invested heavily in visions of

ldquowired

Campusrdquo

Kling (1983) avers that computer-based education has been promoted with two different

underlying ideologies in all levels of education Some educators argue that computer- based

instructional approaches can help fulfill the traditional values of progressive education the

simulation of intellectual curiosity initiative and democratic experiences For examples (1984)

has argued that computerized universities are qualitatively different than traditional universities

College students with micro computers in their dorm rooms will be more stimulated to learn

because they will have easy access to instructional materials and more interesting problems to

solve Papert (1979) argues that in a new computer ndash based school cultivate students will no

longer simply be taught mathematics These visions portray an enchanted social order

transformed by advanced computing technologies Other advocates are a bites romantic but not

less enthusiastic

For example Cole (1972) states because of the insatiable desire of students for more and more

information at a higher level of complexity and more sophisticated level of utilization more

effective means of communication must be used Computers can provide a unique vehicle for

this transmissionrdquo Hence it is important to note that computer-based education goes a long way

in helping the students as well as the staff to effectively make use of the computerized course

registration system It also helps in convincing the stakeholders of the importance and need for

adopting the computerized admission registration and result processing system as it provides

effective and accurate handling of studentrsquos files

9

Therefore a computerized course registration system is usually a system which is implemented

with a computer to achieve the utmost efficiency and desired goals In well developed countries

where education systems are computerized course registration system should be andor is one of

the modules contained in the college portal A ldquoCollege Portalrdquo therefore is personalized

software that captures the entire education business process and makes all operations accessible

via the web thus allowing schools to effectively serve all stakeholders students lecturers

administrators and parents It provides many functionalities including Admissions Registration

Financial Services (transactions- processing) Exams amp Records Grading Staff Management

Facility Management Student self-care (My school)Alumni Records Library and College shop

etc and supports workflow and Messaging and provides other collaboration tools and advanced

reporting engines

Russell M (1987) dealt extensively on the need for the use of computers on such database

system like computerized course registration system In the words of Dimorji (2003) at the

center of any information system is a database which is any collection of related information

grouped together as a simple item The term canalso apply to the ways in which information is

catalog used analyzed stored and used manually

Russell was also of the view that without a computer effective handling of Candidatesrsquo records

cannot be achieved effectively According to him ldquoThe oxford University has more than ninety-

six thousand studentrsquos records No person would precisely remember the details of these

recordsrdquo The computer is the most possible application to retain an unlimited number of records

with the utmost current updating possibilities This is true as can be seen as posited by

Eloba(1992) Computer in school record keeping Technical Education Today Vol 3 No182

ldquoThat at a department with over a thousand candidates with the use of computer all qualified for

10

admission only 100 candidates need to be chosen With the ranking of the scores or grades of the

candidates the management is in position to choose best candidates with the best results with

ease and on timerdquo with the use of computer Again many computerized systems have become

more than tools they are environments that people sometimes find hard to change and so on

Kling and Suzanne (1988) argue that we have much to learn about future uses and consequences

of computerization by carefully examining past and present experiences Knowing fully well

how the University program is being run(manually) studying the past and present experiences

energize the idea of computerization of the board or the program

22 RESULT PROCESSING AND ASSOCIATED CONCEPTS

221 Processing

Practically all naturally occurring processes can be viewed as examples of data processing

systems where observable information in the form of pressure light etc are converted by

human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognize as

touch sound and vision Even the interaction of non-living systems may be viewed in this way

as rudimentary information processing systems Conventional usage of the terms data processing

and information systems restricts their use to refer to the algorithmic derivations logical

deductions and statistical calculations that recur perennially in general business environments

rather than in the more expansive sense of all conversions of real-world measurements into real-

world information in say an organic biological system

The importance of high-speed data processing and communication to modern society and

economy can scarcely be exaggerated Thomas Friedman in The World is Flat (Farrar 2005)

argues that they have wrought a more profound revolution change in communication and trade

11

than did the Gutenberg printing press and have changed the world permanently in far less time

The proliferation of PCs PDAs and cellular communications the ubiquity of the internet and the

accelerating development of software that allows all of these technologies to interact on a

common communication framework have ldquoflattenedrdquo our world in Friedmanrsquos parlance by

literally erasing the significance of geography and national boundaries in the conduct of

commerce and trade Together with the emergence of the leadership and management practices

to take advantages of these ldquoflattenersrdquo and the collapse of political and economic barriers that

accompanied the end of the cold war what Friedman calls the ldquotriple convergencerdquo has literally

ldquochanged everythingrdquo Friedmanrsquos observations are supported by the words of the CEO of

Hewlett Packard that the world is entering ldquoan era in which technology will literally transform

every aspect of business every aspect of life and every aspect of society

CHAPTER THREE

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This chapter tries to explain or describe and analyze the existing system The research have tried

in describing and analyzing the manual system that has been in use in the stem for many years

now and is still in the record department of Computer science BIU

31 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is the only system affordable by the university at the time it was initiated

The students come to the staff in a single file in other to obtain the form or to submit the same

after due completion of the documents This has some merit since human relationship is

promoted by facial contact which in most cases brings about favoritism On the contrary the

existing system is not devoid of demerits

Since human beings are impatient to accept and tolerate individual difference in fact this is one

of the reasons why we have strongly encouraged the online students record system

The analysis of the existing system will do justice in pointing out the different stages involved in

manual method of student record process This ranges from the purchase of the form to the

submission processing and publication of names the registration point

Since the researchers are taking the study from the students record system to identify the

existing problem because narrowed down to the use of documentation interview and

experienceobservational method since the project is both theoretical as well as practically

oriented one

13

Documentation This type of method collects data from a given document that is relevant to the

issue at stake These documents contain records of vital events that can help the researcher It

also continue vital information on varied concepts There are facts on different issues that are

documented for different use and in different time by people from various aspects of life

Interview The primary of interview is to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data which

are current as well as desired regarding the users requirements policies procedures and

practice The researchers adopted oral or face-to-face interview technique so as to obtain

authentic and relevant data This responses were satisfactory

Observationexperience Method This is a method used in collecting information about a

person or events persons involve will not be aware that someone is taking record of their lives

The record is collected at the personrsquos natural state and different intervals

The researchers were sometime involved in this process and know a considerable events about

the system coupled with their observation of other students at different intervals gave rise to this

write-ups

32 OBJECTIVES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system that has been in operation in studentrsquos record process of BIU is the

manual system And there are some objectives upon which they are expected to achieve

Therefore the following objectives are to be achieved

To make students be at ease in coming into the school without

Frustration

To help students obtain record successfully

14

To assist students in processing their forms

To help students register without difficulties

To offer students record that cannot be denied

33 INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT ANALYSIS

By input analysis the researcher hope to analyze students data

In offering this record the following were used Name of candidate Registration number course

PROCESS ANALYSIS

The processing takes place here The data will be queued according as they should be and be

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

16

Candidate Registration number

Sex (optional)

Year of record (where applicable)

Course of study

Date of Birth

Name of the institution attended

Name of the institution applied to

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

Eloba(1992) Computer in school record keeping Technical Education Today Vol 3 No182

ldquoThat at a department with over a thousand candidates with the use of computer all qualified for

10

admission only 100 candidates need to be chosen With the ranking of the scores or grades of the

candidates the management is in position to choose best candidates with the best results with

ease and on timerdquo with the use of computer Again many computerized systems have become

more than tools they are environments that people sometimes find hard to change and so on

Kling and Suzanne (1988) argue that we have much to learn about future uses and consequences

of computerization by carefully examining past and present experiences Knowing fully well

how the University program is being run(manually) studying the past and present experiences

energize the idea of computerization of the board or the program

22 RESULT PROCESSING AND ASSOCIATED CONCEPTS

221 Processing

Practically all naturally occurring processes can be viewed as examples of data processing

systems where observable information in the form of pressure light etc are converted by

human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognize as

touch sound and vision Even the interaction of non-living systems may be viewed in this way

as rudimentary information processing systems Conventional usage of the terms data processing

and information systems restricts their use to refer to the algorithmic derivations logical

deductions and statistical calculations that recur perennially in general business environments

rather than in the more expansive sense of all conversions of real-world measurements into real-

world information in say an organic biological system

The importance of high-speed data processing and communication to modern society and

economy can scarcely be exaggerated Thomas Friedman in The World is Flat (Farrar 2005)

argues that they have wrought a more profound revolution change in communication and trade

11

than did the Gutenberg printing press and have changed the world permanently in far less time

The proliferation of PCs PDAs and cellular communications the ubiquity of the internet and the

accelerating development of software that allows all of these technologies to interact on a

common communication framework have ldquoflattenedrdquo our world in Friedmanrsquos parlance by

literally erasing the significance of geography and national boundaries in the conduct of

commerce and trade Together with the emergence of the leadership and management practices

to take advantages of these ldquoflattenersrdquo and the collapse of political and economic barriers that

accompanied the end of the cold war what Friedman calls the ldquotriple convergencerdquo has literally

ldquochanged everythingrdquo Friedmanrsquos observations are supported by the words of the CEO of

Hewlett Packard that the world is entering ldquoan era in which technology will literally transform

every aspect of business every aspect of life and every aspect of society

CHAPTER THREE

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This chapter tries to explain or describe and analyze the existing system The research have tried

in describing and analyzing the manual system that has been in use in the stem for many years

now and is still in the record department of Computer science BIU

31 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is the only system affordable by the university at the time it was initiated

The students come to the staff in a single file in other to obtain the form or to submit the same

after due completion of the documents This has some merit since human relationship is

promoted by facial contact which in most cases brings about favoritism On the contrary the

existing system is not devoid of demerits

Since human beings are impatient to accept and tolerate individual difference in fact this is one

of the reasons why we have strongly encouraged the online students record system

The analysis of the existing system will do justice in pointing out the different stages involved in

manual method of student record process This ranges from the purchase of the form to the

submission processing and publication of names the registration point

Since the researchers are taking the study from the students record system to identify the

existing problem because narrowed down to the use of documentation interview and

experienceobservational method since the project is both theoretical as well as practically

oriented one

13

Documentation This type of method collects data from a given document that is relevant to the

issue at stake These documents contain records of vital events that can help the researcher It

also continue vital information on varied concepts There are facts on different issues that are

documented for different use and in different time by people from various aspects of life

Interview The primary of interview is to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data which

are current as well as desired regarding the users requirements policies procedures and

practice The researchers adopted oral or face-to-face interview technique so as to obtain

authentic and relevant data This responses were satisfactory

Observationexperience Method This is a method used in collecting information about a

person or events persons involve will not be aware that someone is taking record of their lives

The record is collected at the personrsquos natural state and different intervals

The researchers were sometime involved in this process and know a considerable events about

the system coupled with their observation of other students at different intervals gave rise to this

write-ups

32 OBJECTIVES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system that has been in operation in studentrsquos record process of BIU is the

manual system And there are some objectives upon which they are expected to achieve

Therefore the following objectives are to be achieved

To make students be at ease in coming into the school without

Frustration

To help students obtain record successfully

14

To assist students in processing their forms

To help students register without difficulties

To offer students record that cannot be denied

33 INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT ANALYSIS

By input analysis the researcher hope to analyze students data

In offering this record the following were used Name of candidate Registration number course

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

45 INSTALLATIONS OF SOFTWARE AND NEW PROGRAMS USERS

INSTRUCTIONS

To install and use the proposed software the following steps will be taken

1 As a stand alone

a) Download xampp via google search

b) Install the xampp

c) Lunch xampp control panel

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

than did the Gutenberg printing press and have changed the world permanently in far less time

The proliferation of PCs PDAs and cellular communications the ubiquity of the internet and the

accelerating development of software that allows all of these technologies to interact on a

common communication framework have ldquoflattenedrdquo our world in Friedmanrsquos parlance by

literally erasing the significance of geography and national boundaries in the conduct of

commerce and trade Together with the emergence of the leadership and management practices

to take advantages of these ldquoflattenersrdquo and the collapse of political and economic barriers that

accompanied the end of the cold war what Friedman calls the ldquotriple convergencerdquo has literally

ldquochanged everythingrdquo Friedmanrsquos observations are supported by the words of the CEO of

Hewlett Packard that the world is entering ldquoan era in which technology will literally transform

every aspect of business every aspect of life and every aspect of society

CHAPTER THREE

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This chapter tries to explain or describe and analyze the existing system The research have tried

in describing and analyzing the manual system that has been in use in the stem for many years

now and is still in the record department of Computer science BIU

31 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is the only system affordable by the university at the time it was initiated

The students come to the staff in a single file in other to obtain the form or to submit the same

after due completion of the documents This has some merit since human relationship is

promoted by facial contact which in most cases brings about favoritism On the contrary the

existing system is not devoid of demerits

Since human beings are impatient to accept and tolerate individual difference in fact this is one

of the reasons why we have strongly encouraged the online students record system

The analysis of the existing system will do justice in pointing out the different stages involved in

manual method of student record process This ranges from the purchase of the form to the

submission processing and publication of names the registration point

Since the researchers are taking the study from the students record system to identify the

existing problem because narrowed down to the use of documentation interview and

experienceobservational method since the project is both theoretical as well as practically

oriented one

13

Documentation This type of method collects data from a given document that is relevant to the

issue at stake These documents contain records of vital events that can help the researcher It

also continue vital information on varied concepts There are facts on different issues that are

documented for different use and in different time by people from various aspects of life

Interview The primary of interview is to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data which

are current as well as desired regarding the users requirements policies procedures and

practice The researchers adopted oral or face-to-face interview technique so as to obtain

authentic and relevant data This responses were satisfactory

Observationexperience Method This is a method used in collecting information about a

person or events persons involve will not be aware that someone is taking record of their lives

The record is collected at the personrsquos natural state and different intervals

The researchers were sometime involved in this process and know a considerable events about

the system coupled with their observation of other students at different intervals gave rise to this

write-ups

32 OBJECTIVES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system that has been in operation in studentrsquos record process of BIU is the

manual system And there are some objectives upon which they are expected to achieve

Therefore the following objectives are to be achieved

To make students be at ease in coming into the school without

Frustration

To help students obtain record successfully

14

To assist students in processing their forms

To help students register without difficulties

To offer students record that cannot be denied

33 INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT ANALYSIS

By input analysis the researcher hope to analyze students data

In offering this record the following were used Name of candidate Registration number course

of study Department level of study session sex Age stage of origin are considered as input

PROCESS ANALYSIS

The processing takes place here The data will be queued according as they should be and be

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

16

Candidate Registration number

Sex (optional)

Year of record (where applicable)

Course of study

Date of Birth

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

This chapter tries to explain or describe and analyze the existing system The research have tried

in describing and analyzing the manual system that has been in use in the stem for many years

now and is still in the record department of Computer science BIU

31 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is the only system affordable by the university at the time it was initiated

The students come to the staff in a single file in other to obtain the form or to submit the same

after due completion of the documents This has some merit since human relationship is

promoted by facial contact which in most cases brings about favoritism On the contrary the

existing system is not devoid of demerits

Since human beings are impatient to accept and tolerate individual difference in fact this is one

of the reasons why we have strongly encouraged the online students record system

The analysis of the existing system will do justice in pointing out the different stages involved in

manual method of student record process This ranges from the purchase of the form to the

submission processing and publication of names the registration point

Since the researchers are taking the study from the students record system to identify the

existing problem because narrowed down to the use of documentation interview and

experienceobservational method since the project is both theoretical as well as practically

oriented one

13

Documentation This type of method collects data from a given document that is relevant to the

issue at stake These documents contain records of vital events that can help the researcher It

also continue vital information on varied concepts There are facts on different issues that are

documented for different use and in different time by people from various aspects of life

Interview The primary of interview is to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data which

are current as well as desired regarding the users requirements policies procedures and

practice The researchers adopted oral or face-to-face interview technique so as to obtain

authentic and relevant data This responses were satisfactory

Observationexperience Method This is a method used in collecting information about a

person or events persons involve will not be aware that someone is taking record of their lives

The record is collected at the personrsquos natural state and different intervals

The researchers were sometime involved in this process and know a considerable events about

the system coupled with their observation of other students at different intervals gave rise to this

write-ups

32 OBJECTIVES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system that has been in operation in studentrsquos record process of BIU is the

manual system And there are some objectives upon which they are expected to achieve

Therefore the following objectives are to be achieved

To make students be at ease in coming into the school without

Frustration

To help students obtain record successfully

14

To assist students in processing their forms

To help students register without difficulties

To offer students record that cannot be denied

33 INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT ANALYSIS

By input analysis the researcher hope to analyze students data

In offering this record the following were used Name of candidate Registration number course

PROCESS ANALYSIS

The processing takes place here The data will be queued according as they should be and be

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

16

Candidate Registration number

Sex (optional)

Year of record (where applicable)

Course of study

Date of Birth

Name of the institution attended

Name of the institution applied to

Name of parentGuardian

Address of parentlocal Government Area

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

45 INSTALLATIONS OF SOFTWARE AND NEW PROGRAMS USERS

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

PROCESS ANALYSIS

The processing takes place here The data will be queued according as they should be and be

acted upon by the machine to bring out needed outcome The document about each person is

processed here and after that their personal document is proved

Output Analysis

The analysis of the output will focus on the result from the processing stage The individual

document is entered one after the other and be processed according But sometimes the output of

the existing system is not reliable

This could be as a result of poor processing technique mistakes and always observed on the

output data or result An unauthorized person can also alter it

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

Candidate name

16

Candidate Registration number

Sex (optional)

Year of record (where applicable)

Course of study

Date of Birth

34 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN

This chapter deals with the design of the new system of students record system in BIU So far

this work have been able to identify some addressable units of a computer memory in byte field

records It is better informed about what a file is like the various types organisation access

methods and suitability of a choice in our effort to online our Record system in this institution

BIU

In any given record type students must indicate consent to write examination that will qualify

them to start seeking for an record In tertiary institutions this is by way of course registration

It may represent the first contact that the student or candidate is having with the online system

The system must be able to design forms on which the studentcandidate should be able to supply

all relevant datainformation

For the purpose of this research work I will call the form ldquoRecord Entry Formrdquo The data

obtained from this form will form the basis of creating an online Entry File The question now is

what data items (field) are expected to feature the Entry form

In a typical Record process the following data items must be on any entry form

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

45 INSTALLATIONS OF SOFTWARE AND NEW PROGRAMS USERS

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

27

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

The moving from the old system to a new system is called conversion It is done by moving all

the works done in the system development The whole conversion process may be seen in parts

41 PRE CONVERSION

Here the analyst take on the task of bringing the system to life In this project work I

considered

(a) Training the personnel who are to be operative in the new system and the users of the

system

42 CONVERSION

The needed time to convert has come The system is designed and all the work necessary to

make it operate has been done Now we must convert from the old system to the new system

There are several approaches such as the direct pilot phase and parallel approaches Among

these and for the purpose of this project we recommend the parallel approach for the

implementation

43 THE PARALLEL APROACH

The old system and the new system should be operated simultaneously for a time to make sure

that the new system meets the requirement that the old system has been missing all long it will be

necessary to compare the output of the new system with the required output for the sanctification

of the new system

23

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

45 INSTALLATIONS OF SOFTWARE AND NEW PROGRAMS USERS

INSTRUCTIONS

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

44 DOCUMENTATION

The program ldquoDesign and Implementation of an online students Record systemrdquo is written in

PHP programming language This language was chosen based on its capability in data base

management system (DBMS) and its suitability to student record keeping process The program

is menu-driven-one-entry-one-exit It is saved into htdocs with welcome program as the

filename Welcome program is the filename upon which other filenames of the sub programs or

modules are linked

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

emsp

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

51 CONCLUSION

The research work was carried out to develop a functional design that could be used in the

university record process for students It was not some in isolation of staff members of record

Also there is an expert in the field of computer science who supervised the work to ensure its

workability for the real purpose it was made

So far the fact that it was carried out under a systematic reconstruction of knowledge and

experiences of both teaching and non-teaching staff of the university it has the implication that

the same could be functional in other universities in all parts of the country as well

Data were collected from different source and its analysis was such that any since user can

follow it systematically and arrive at expected conclusion even without the presence of the

researcher due to its clarity and unambiguity stated in the work and how both the staff and the

student can through the folders in the drive examine properly every students document Student

on record can find a solace in the procedures presented here in the work by going through it

accurately and patiently

There is clear and detailed information on what students have to bring along on record

Therefore it becomes imperative to state that their educational implication is itrsquos applicability in

all other universityrsquos of education as well as in the institutions of education (like IMT) all over

the country BIU which was the confined area of the study

52 RECOMMENDATION

The important of an online system in an establishment cannot be over emphasized This has led

to some of the recommendations

The design and implementations or any electronic gadget especially in an online in such area of

schools record process must be facilitated by some certain factors

The Federal government through federal ministry of education should find the online of

such adventures

The school on its own should see to the implementation of the project

There should be available online Engineers and Technicians for both installation

operating and maintenance of the system

There should be attached to the record form some educative manuals that should guide

and direct the new students on record processor

There should be workshop or seminars organized to educate the staff members on some

basic aspects that concerns them

An air ndash conditioning unit is vital to increase the life span of the machine and to keep

away from dust

A standby power generator is needed to avoid current fluctuations a stabilizer should be

acquired

There should be need for the acquiring of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

The monthly servicing of the entire system would be a good policy and spare parts

further study may be carried out on the project topic availability should be assured

Ensure that only uninfected diskettes are introduced to avoid rival corruption of the

programs
