APPENDIX B - “OBJECT PROGRAM”
Alumni Database Management System is a way of bringing many methods of reporting and control into one working environment. The aim of the study is to design and implement of a cloud-based alumni records management system. The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is that the manual approaches employed in the management of alumni information are not flexible, efficient and productive. Keeping track of all students who passed through the university since its inception is obviously an uphill task as files containing information and details of these students may have been lost, damaged or even forgotten about. The methodology adopted in this study is the object oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The web programming languages (HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, and PHP) was used in the software development process because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. This research work will be of benefit to college of education, polytechnic and university students and alumni officials. The expected result is a cloud-based alumni records management system that will automate the mechanism for search and retrieval of information, save time and cost and ensures uniformity by providing a centralized database system for all alumni information.
1.1 Introduction
Alumni database management system is a way of bringing many methods of reporting and control into one working environment. The Alumni association is independent of the school in funding and administrative support. The Association administration is run through the efforts of volunteers and part-time hires. The inability of the association to become a viable entity can be attributed to a few major factors. First, the fluctuations in the work force effort and the lack of consistent commitment to the association have caused inefficient and misguided efforts. The second major factor affecting the viability of the Alumni Association is the lack of an accurate and homogeneous database of the school's alumni. Alumni records over the history of the school have been maintained in a variety of non-automated methods.
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
