Design of a Prototype Web-Based Students’ Record Management System – WEBSTREMS

Abstract

Information, a principal resource in any business entity has become an important driver of any system. In the academic community, information is especially very important. Students within the system must register for courses approved for the semester, take examinations and check the outcome of such examinations once approved by the authorities. Years after graduating from the system, students come back for the transcripts or to get some references. It is therefore imperative to handle students’ information in a way that is easily accessible, maintainable and preserved. This paper focuses on managing students’ information in very efficient and flexible manner. We present in this paper a prototype design of WEBSTREMS and discuss implementation issues.
