Design and Implementation of an Online Electronic Platform to Manage Education Activities in the Computer Science Department at Mosul University

Abstract

In this work, data for electronic activities of lecturers in Computer Science Department was organized using a relational database management system to exploit relations between entities for facilitating access, view, and manipulation of data developed using Microsoft Visual C# programming language to obtain an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). In addition, the Sap Crystal Report program was used to prepare reports for the electronic activities of the lecturers under study. The electronic system would reduce mistakes caused in the manual use of lecturers’ data. Additionally, it would speed up data access in case of viewing, updating or deleting the data without any errors. This project consisted of four phases, namely, system analysis, design, implementation and evaluation. Experiments explained that the suggested database system is more appropriate for lecturers’ information management, as more than 80% of the lecturers studied were satisfied with this project. This type of on-line platform system and its applications can be applied for stakeholders in various ways.
