A web based question bank for College of Computing and Information Science Library

Abstract

This project aimed at a web-based question ban for the college of computing and information science to manage past papers. The objectives of the project were to; examine the current system used in managing past paper questions at the college of computing and information science library., to determine the challenges associated with the current system used in managing past paper questions at the college library, establish the requirements necessary for designing a web based question bank system for the college of computing and information science library and finally to design and develop a web based question bank system for the college of computing and information science.

A case study approach of the qualitative research design was adopted to collect data. A population of 40 people was targeted and it constituted students and library administrators. A sample size of 36 respondents was determined. The sampling method was the purposive and non-probability sampling method questionnaire, interview and observation methods were used for data collection.
