DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN AUTOMATED ONLINE COURSE ALLOCATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR LECTURERS
ABSTRACT
On this project, the purpose of the course management system is to develop with ease and smoothen the course management allocation process in schools. Moreover, a lot of issues have popped up regarding the manually allocation method such as lecturers could not get the expertise courses to be lectured, more courses given to higher
position lecturers and also burden their research timing. According, to the problem the researcher has come up with a
solution which to develop a course allocation system for lecturers. The researcher has set the objectives to provide
the lecturers their expertise field course to be lectured and also provide the correct number of courses according to
the lecturer position and timing. Regarding, this the developer has done a research study on the similarities of the system which has been developed previously. So that, the developer can make a comparison with the previous system and the system about to be developed. This project also can be used to refer for the futuristic course allocation system development and also enhance modern day school course allocation across institutions around the globe.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
The online course management system for academy lecturer is being developed to provide ease handling on courses
given to lecturers. A lot of issue has been developed due to the manual allocation method which is been carried out
manually using paper and pen from the lecturer in charge of course allocation. All lecturers are having their preferable
courses where their expertise field play the most important role on that issue. The lecturer is the biggest guide for the
student lecturing in the courses that students taking on the semester. It doesn’t mean that all the lecturer can only
teach few courses according to their expertise to be lectured for the students but they also can teach all courses
which has not on their expertise field. Due to that doing on manual course allocation they could not get the preferred
course, due to that a system has to be develop accordingly. The system also minimizes the usage of paperwork and
user friendly for the administrators to log in and edit if any changes required for the course allocation. The system will
print out output of a list stated for lecturers on their preferred course.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Institutions across the country are having a constraint on course allocations for the lecturers by using manual
allocation process, which is relatively slow and increases delay in academy process. It effects the lecturer’s expertise
field which they have done the majoring studies on it. Every lecturer is having their preferable course to be lectured
for the student under that course registered by them on the current semester. Some lecturers also doing their
research on the time of their work, due to manual allocation of courses it effects their research timing. Some lecturers
are also on higher position also getting more courses to be lectured by them. Moreover, they should be getting less
courses to be lectured. Due to this issue happening in Universities, the researcher have developed a proposed system to help aid course allocation within lecturers. This project consist are system which handles the allocation of the courses for the lecturers according to their expertise and their position. It also minimizes the courses given to the higher position lecturers. This system also user friendly and ease the work of the admin office to provide the lecturers their preferable courses
