Socio-Academic Web Portal for Administrator, Teachers, Students and Stake Holders
Project Context
The existing way of updating students about the concerns inside the school, up-coming events and school activities is putting a piece of paper in the bulletin board of every department. This is also the way of some Instructors in reminding their students about their projects on when is the deadline to be passed. Even school administrators, they also post in the bulletin board concerning on the scholarship of selected students.
Many Students experience difficulty about the information that they will need to know. They get low grades because of late submission of their projects at the date scheduled by their instructors. And sometimes students could not participate in some events and activities in the school because they do not know when the exact date and time of the program is.
In line with this, the researchers were challenged and conducted a study entitled “Socio-academic Web Portal for administrators, teachers, students and stakeholders” that will have information to students regarding with their Instructors like meetings, activities and projects, in that way, they can prepare. And will provide information concerning on updates and activities about the Faculties, SSC Department, Guidance Office, Research Office, School publication and other stakeholders of the school. Students can also communicate and interact to their fellow students and also to their Instructors.
By just opening the site, Students can have the information they want. We must also face the fact that more and more people are relying on the internet.
