Designing and Implementing e-School Systems: An Information Systems Approach to School Management of a Community College in Northern Mindanao, Philippines

Purpose–Colleges and Universities have been established to provide educational services to the people. Like any other organization, the school has processes and procedures similar to business or industry that involve admissions, processing of data, and generation of reports. Those processes are made possible through a centralized system in storing, processing, and retrieval of data and information, the majority of the schools in the country are already adopting computer-based systems to address their needs especially on their student and school-related transactions. The absence of a computer system and the complexity of the transactions of the college which makes the personnel be loaded with paper works in storingand keeping student records and information is the motivating factor why the School Management Information System has been designed and developed for a community college in the northern part of Mindanao.Method-This paper discusses the Major Functionalities and Modules of the systemthroughits implementation methodology which is the AgileModel and its impact on the delivery of services and procedures in the overall operation of the college.Results–The project has been evaluated based on ISO 25010,a quality model used for product/software quality evaluation systems. Based on the results of the evaluation, SMIS has been Functional, Usable, and Reliable with an average for every criterion above 4.04indicating very good performance based on a Likert scale descriptive interpretation.Conclusion–Based on the preceding findings of the study, the respondents agreed that the developed e-school system was functional and lifted the transaction process of the school. The faculty and staff have benefited from making use of the system. The overall quality and performance of the system was verygood in terms of functionality, usability, andreliability.Recommendations–It is recommended that future development such as the smartphone and tablet-based attendance monitoring should be integrated, a kiosk for grades and schedule viewing should also be placed inside the campus that is connected to the database server. Online student information systems should also be developed for the benefit of the students and parents, in easily monitoring school-related activities and requirements.Research Implications–The study enabled the centralization of school and student data in storing, processing and retrieval. The System has been implemented in the college and has been updated now and then for continuous quality improvement.

Capturing Student Affect

Early warning systems rely on behavioral and cognitive data drawn from student information systems, learning management systems, and courseware platforms; however, they often lack sufficient data on student attitudes, perceptions, and affective responses to effectively prevent student withdrawals, failures, and drop outs or to intervene early enough to improve institutional and student outcomes. To complement the behavioral and cognitive datastreams, researchers and designers are increasingly turning toward microsurveys—short questions or question sets that help researchers gather data at strategic points during a course—to enable earlier intervention and, therefore, improve outcomes. However, for microsurveys to be effective, researchers and designers may need to refactor their research, design, and evaluation processes to address considerations unique to microsurveys. This chapter considers how researchers may go about developing microsurveys by formulating a foundational research base, developing initial designs, and then refining those through formative evaluation.

Analisis Struktur Retorika Bagian Latar Belakang Skripsi Mahasiswa Program Studi Sistem Informatika Fakultas Teknik Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu

The purpose of this study was to provide an understanding of the stages and steps of the background section of the thesis of the Information Systems Study Program Faculty of Engineering, University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu. This research uses a descriptive method. Data is all written statements of students when writing a thesis. The data source in this study is the thesis of 20 students of the Information Systems Study Program at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu. Data collection techniques using documentation techniques. The steps in the analysis of the research data are 1) coding, 2) reading all parts of the background, 3) identifying the background, 4) classifying stages and steps, 6) choosing a dominant pattern. Test the validity of the data using the expert validity test. The results of the research and discussion of the Rhetoric Structure of the Background Section of the Thesis of the Student Information Systems Study Program Faculty of Engineering, University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu are; Stages in the background section of the thesis of the Information Systems Study Program of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu that all theses used the stages in the PJP model, and the steps in the stages of the thesis background of the students of the Information System Study Program of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu did not all use the steps steps in the PJP model stage. The findings can be used as input material in deepening insight and adding to the knowledge literature about the rhetorical structure of the background section of the thesis.

A Strategic Planning of Developing Student Information Management System Using SWOT Technique

The strategic planning of developing any information system is the key factor of progress any organization. Hence, SWOT (Strength, weakness, opportunities and threats) analysis for the strategic planning of developing information system has proved to be a good analysis tool for further development and progress of the universities/organization. Further, the implementation of computerized student information management system has become an important issue within the university campus to exchange such information between students and staff. Many studies have developed student information system through the converting of paper-based system to computer-based system in order to facilitate the work of staff. However, none of these studies focused on the development of such systems based on the strategic planning using SWOT technique. Therefore, this research focuses on the requirements needed to develop student information system based on the aforementioned strategic planning technique. Some universities located in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq have been tacking to do the investigation. Moreover, SWOT technique was selected to find strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of developing such system. The findings of this research were processed as matching strengths with opportunities and converting weaknesses or threats to strengths or opportunities. Based on the results, it has been found that the need to address student information systems is of utmost importance now more than ever in order to survive and continue in the competition environment.

Adoption of Mobile Information Services: An Empirical Study

This study investigates the adoption of mobile information services at a Norwegian university. By expanding the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), a new research model, known as the mobile services acceptance model (MSAM), is proposed. Based on the research model, seven research hypotheses are presented. The proposed research model and research hypotheses were empirically tested using data collected from a survey of users of a mobile service, extended Mobile Student Information Systems (eMSIS), at a Norwegian university. The findings indicate that the fitness of the research model is good. Support was also found for the seven research hypotheses. Among the factors, the personal initiatives and characteristics has the strongest influence on the intention to use eMSIS.
