Design and implementation of a web-based faculty information system

Abstract

In a digitally-dominated era, the development of a web-based information system that provides a central repository of all faculty-related accreditation requirements, with fast and reliable access proves to be a big help in data organization and management. Thus, this work describes our development methodology for a web-based information system in an academic scenario which replaces the e-mail-based submission of faculty information form to college administration. This system collects data from faculty members such as personal information, academic and non-academic work experiences, community outreach engagements and most importantly the research outputs. The system is still under evaluation in terms of functionality, usability, reliability, supportability and performance. The system caters four (4) types of users: the System Administrator, Manager, Faculty and Assistant. The Faculty Information System (FIS) is currently installed in a pilottest college for system monitoring and maintenance.
