Abstract
This research work developed Electronic Notice Board (ENB) for the faculty community. The purpose is to upgrade the already existing manual method of information dissemination, so as to improve the administrative work of the faculty, and to create an enabling environment for more efficient and friendly means of information delivery. It will improve the rate at which staff and students participate in faculty events and activities. The conventional notice board is one of the oldest methods used in information delivery and announcements to students. Students go to where the notice board is mounted in other to read updates or announcements. Use of wall notice board in every place is a tedious work since it needs to be updated regularly and with correct and right information manually. Few of the problems that necessitated the need for ENB are; inadequate time to read all the relevant information pasted newly on a notice board as a result of tight schedule since the copies are limited. Limited time-lag of newly pasted notice since people mutilate, remove or destroy the paper notices from the board leaving others uninformed. Some of the objectives are to enable individuals to view the update from their various devices from any location. To enable instant update to all users since notice is online. To allow individuals download and store copies of original information intact. Generally, it looks at the existing faculty notice boards, building a system that makes it run by the internet access or by local area network (LAN) so as to increase the rate at which relevant information is being disseminated to the faculty community with no location restriction. The user is kept updated each time the E-Notice Board is updated based on their categories through an SMS alert. This system intends to simplify and improve the University faculties to perform their daily activities since most of the school organs uses computerized system. This research work was designed using Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM) and implemented using Hypertext Pre-Processor (PHP), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Bootstrap, Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) as front-end and My Structural Query Language (MYSQL) database as back-end.
Highlights
One of the oldest methods used in delivering information and announcements to students in faculties is by conventional notice board
The deployment of our Electronic Notice Board (ENB) web application brings an advanced means of passing notices around in the University faculties
Human traffic will reduce at the notice board location with the use of the ENB since information on the notice boards can be accessed electronically on the ENB
Summary
Technologies have been discovered, the information delivery has become more efficient and user friendly. As new generation of students embraced technology and some of them became attached to it, it is necessary to change the way information is being displayed, as it is often observed that whenever there is a change in seminar or class schedule, there would be some students missing the seminar or class because of not reading the notice board from time to time [3] This indicates that the announcement system commonly used in many faculties or universities is somewhat ineffective when the message did not spread around to reach the desired students. Identification of the drawbacks of the existing manual notice board system leads to the designing of the ENB, this should make information dissemination much easier and improve the administrative work of the faculty community It will improve the rate at which staff and students participate in faculty events and activities since awareness depends greatly on the effectiveness of information delivery.
