dc.description.abstract | Online social interactions have become a way of life. Virtual meetings and chatting are now a large component of our social circles. These engagements have broken physical barriers and have made communication even more seamless and better. Sadly, these social interaction platforms haven’t been much utilized in very many institutions, yet they come with loads of benefits. This study was carried out at Makerere University, but it’s findings can be generalizable to most academic institutions and the solutions provided and suggested herein can be customized to the various places of need. In this study, we set out to understand the challenges faced by applicants during the process of determining courses they are eligible to apply for at university level. Consequently, the main objective of this research project was to design and implement a system that shows all possible course options to undertake in a university based on A’ Level(UACE) subject combination.
To fully understand the problem at hand, data collection techniques such as use of questionnaires, interviews, reviewing existing literature were used. Design methods such as process modelling, functional modelling and data modelling were used in the system analysis & design phase. The implementation was done with programming languages such as HTML5, CSS, PHP, JavaScript and their related frameworks such as jQuery and Bootstrap. The developed system bridges the gap between the different stakeholders by providing a platform of engagement for information sharing, inquiry, real time computation of weights for different courses. | en_US |
