Abstract
Purpose – This study focused on the development of a web–based integrated academic information system that can aid Adamson University faculty to become more effective and efficient in giving costless examinations, in giving student grades, in avoiding redundancy of data and efforts, and in providing accessible and reliable information about examinations and grades. The developed system automates the processes of examination and student grading. Method – To achieve the goal of the study, the researcher followed the phases of software development life cycle aiming to produce high quality software output that meets or even exceeds Adamson University faculty and administrations’ expectations. Results – The developed system was tested in Adamson University and evaluated using the ISO/IEC 9126 software product evaluation criteria by respondents who include IT Experts and end-users with a descriptive rating of “excellent” with a mean average of 4.76 which proves that the system can be a useful tool for managing educational institutions’ examination and student grading. Conclusion – Integrated Educational Management Tool for Adamson University is a system that was successfully constructed using open source technology in developing web sites. The system has been successfully tested for functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, and portability of the website with results that revealed that the developed application supports the educational institution’s examination and student grading system for efficiency, reliability and accessibility. Recommendations – Future studies and integration of item analysis, table of specification, and enhancement of sub-modules of the system are recommended as well as making available offline class records and exams with online auto synchronization of data processes. Implications – With the utilization of a new system, Adamson University will come up with a standard institutional class record, test banking system, quality examination materials, paperless examination, class record, and test materials so that the faculty will be able to minimize time for preparing examination materials, and in checking and recording exam results. Time spent for the preparation and revision of examination materials for same subjects will also be minimized so that a smooth collaboration among fellow teachers and synchronizing of courses being taught can be achieved which will result to less deployment and implementation costing since the new system is a product of an open source technology.
Highlights
The vast advancement of information technology is used and applied in almost all aspects of different transactions in small and large scale business organizations
Since most schools are facing the same issues, integrated academic information system should be installed which can give advantages and answers to problems related to the system they are using
The Integrated Educational Management Tool is a web-based system that integrates academic-based tasks conducted in Adamson University
Summary
The vast advancement of information technology is used and applied in almost all aspects of different transactions in small and large scale business organizations. Most of them have benefited from their application and implementation of an integrated system. Integrated system is a system that puts together all of an organizations systems and processes in to one complete structure that works as a single unit that can effectively and efficiently help deliver an organization‟s objectives. Doctor (2012) found in her study that in an academic side of the institution, integrated systems have been around for years but very few have focused on what the academic community needs to make their performance become more efficient, accessible, and reliable. Since most schools are facing the same issues, integrated academic information system should be installed which can give advantages and answers to problems related to the system they are using
