Mobile Students’ Academic Record Manager

摘要

With increasing ownership of smart phones and the prevalent use of mobile apps among the students, the necessity to develop mobile applications useful to assist students’ daily lives and academics arises. This study therefore attempts to develop a user friendly mobile application that is usable in education systems for managing academic records of students. A lot of applications have been developed for use by institutions, faculties, and departments to document the official record of student’s work, but some of these applications are not accessible to students while some accessible ones did not take into consideration the security issues, thereby giving an unauthorized user a free access to intrude privacy of others. The system was implemented using Java and deployed into an APK file using Android Studio while SQLite was used as database backend. Though, the database of undergraduate courses offered in various departments of the Faculty of Engineering, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology was used, the system is flexible and can be generalized to other faculties or schools with little modification. The new system was tested and evaluated by 70 students from all the departments within the faculty and the performance of the system was established to meet design expectations.
