  1. Students’ Time and Record Management System in Higher Education Case Study: Strathmore University By : Fatma Khalid Balala- 073632 Superviser : Ismail Ateya Lukandu D. Sc. Date: 29/7/2014

  2. Introduction • Higher learning institutions are building blocks to national economy – success of the student magnifies to national success. Strathmore University used a case study • Target audience are students in higher education learning. • Despite growth and maturation of students in colleges there are a number of lingering alarms that remain baffling (Gaston, 2007)

  3. Challenges Fees Arrears!!! No Aid  Assignment and research work load !!! No Lecturer Contacts!!! Conflicting Schedules!!! Will there be class this afternoon ???

  4. Effects of College challenges(Baloyi, 2004)

  5. Importance of Adopting an E-learning Solution

  6. Research Problem There is a lack of an integrated way to obtain academic information and integrate time schedules from one central hub and manage it appropriately. This calls for an innovative solution that will solve the problem and facilitate student’s college life

  7. System Architecture

  8. Context diagram

  9. Planner Module Viewer that allows students to view most recent events and assignments uploaded.

  10. Planner Module-Assignment Assignment sub module allows the student to keep track of his academic assignments which will prompt an alarm on due date and time.

  11. Planner Module- Events The event sub module captures the students private events that allows them to be synced within the daily schedule. A reminder pops up in due date and time.

  12. Communication Module The communication module has 3 sub modules. The first sub module displays the lecturers list of contacts .

  13. Communication module offers a list of links that aid students to readily get info about financial support.

  14. A student can view his messages sent and received.

  15. Timetable Module The module displays the most up to date exam, class and study table.

  16. Timetable-personal A list view of a study timetable input by the student.

  17. Analysis and Discussion • Adopting the proposed system by the institution enhances academic experience (Customer satisfaction Student satisfaction ) • Noticeable improvement in academic performance, Student motivation ,better time management skills which translates to real life work skills and eventually results into well shaped responsible citizens.

  18. Conclusion • The student time and record management application provides: • improves students performance • reduce stress levels • Provides communication channel between lecturers and students • Real time updates on timetable, assignments and event notification. • Provides a synchronized time planner and reminder system on assignments, events and timetables. • Application developed and passed all testing • Expected to be adopted readily by the higher learning institutions

  19. Recommendations • Limitation due to time constraints is the lack of a mobile application for lectures hence system needs to be enhanced with lecturers mobile application • Future Works - to add discussion forums per class as a chat. • Further research on effectiveness of system should be conducted.(Compare the scenario before and after the system was implemented.)
