Student information management system

Abstract

Digital transformation in Algeria is now a must to keep up with the fast-changing world; and universities are expected to lead this transformation. However, many procedures in the Algerian universities are done in the traditional way, including the registration of students, display of grades, and sharing of important news. This leads to less efficiency for the university and a degrading in students' performance and mental health. The aim of this work is to create a system in order to make the nteraction between the university and the student more efficient and convenient for both. The project includes the creation of a cross platform mobile application with few features; It allows the administration to share important news easily without resorting to other platforms, gives the students the ability to receive their grades privately, provide a tool to manage their tasks, and allow them to share posts to inform their colleagues of something or ask for help. The application is supposed to be managed by the university, and the used students' data is acquired when the administration registers the new student.This is possible because we have created a server where we implemented API endpoints that receive requests from a client to manipulate data that is stored in a cloud database. The server is hosted on the cloud to make it more accessible,and images are stored in a cloud object storing service. This implementation makes the students'nformation easier to control, which is convenient. An early version of the user-friendly application was released before making all the features and received positive results from the students whom we showed it to. Finally, after addingthe main features we described the app is ready to be tested with a bigger database in our institute.
