Abstract

Design and implementation of Students' Information Tracking Application (SITS), is a Web-based application which domain is in Advance Database System Application (ADSA).Web applications are complex systems, based on a variety of hardware and software components, protocols, languages, interfaces, and standard. They are based on overview of a set of objects, e.g. orders, products, email messages, appointments, image, for displaying the objects and form (a collection of labels and input fields on a single page) for changing them. The main aim is to investigate the design and development processes of web-based application, critically analyze web-based application technologies and effectively produce a substantial implementation.

The students' Information Tracking application will adopt Object-Oriented Web Solutions (OOWS) which is compliant to Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) in design and development processes and will also deploy Entity-Relationship model in organizing the main information object. Software such as Microsoft office tools: Microsoft Visio, Microsoft word, Excel and Microsoft project management will be used in process modelling while Oracle Express will be the architectural platform.

The review of Web-based applications will effectively help in establishment of the current limit of knowledge and understanding within Web-based application (gap). In this project student progress tracker deployed an oracle application to store student and course information, assessing their cognitive performance, completion status etc. Analyses of students' annotation results can forecast examination with degree percentage accuracy. Such analysis would help teachers and students to increase teaching and learning efficiency.

Future work were discussed because, scope of this work did not cover some extended features of Web-based application such as additional navigational buttons, images and application pages integration. Therefore, the future work for the implemented Students' Information Tracking application will focus on modification and integrating the report pages into single dashboard visualization, so that users will view different report pages at a glance and modification of its user interface.
