A Multi-channel Cloud Based Student Information Management System

摘要

The system developed in this paper uses a cloud based multi-channel technology to implement and design a robust and dynamic cross platform software as a services (SaaS) application for students’ information management system (SIMS). The system runs on a network of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) for the purpose of overcoming the lapses associated with the existing systems developed for managing students’ information. The system was built with the capability to resolve issues on manual documentation of information on staff and students, share information simultaneously among multiple users and perform its tasks without delay or deadlock. The system was developed using several scripting languages such as PHP, AJAX, JAVASCRIPT, HTML and CSS with emphasis on PHP and AJAX due to their robustness and network-centric ability in web application development. The database of the system was designed and implemented with WAMPSERVER and MYSQL. The developed system was tested using real live data and the results showed that the objectives of the system were successfully achieved.
