Student Management, Leave Management & Performance Rating Web Portal for Anula Devi Girls’ College, Galle.

Abstract

Anula Devi Girls’ College is a well-known and a leading school in Galle District. Lack of a web site and a web based system was a major problem for the administrative staff. Each and every activity is done by using the existing manual system. All the records of students, academic & non – academic staff are handled manually. Therefore it is very useful to have a computerized system for the school to overcome the daily difficulties and it will help the students and the whole school system to compete with the new technologies. The proposed system consists of a web site, web-based system and a mobile app and this allows users to work with a fully functional computerized system. School official web site helps to external users/ public to read details about school like history, mission, vision, OGA projects, special events etc. Web based system is for school administrative staff, students and parents. In the Student Management Process, it consists of maintaining student details, managing student attendance, handling examinations, generating reports etc. Leave Management process contains making immediate leave requests using a mobile app, receiving quick notifications about the approval or rejection, making alternative arrangements etc. Performance rating process includes managing teacher attendance and student attendance and analyzing them, generating class wise and subject wise reports for each student, generating performance and ranking reports etc. Mobile App provides an excellent platform for smooth, paperless and real time communication for the principal, staff and parents and also includes immediate search facility for the principal to find available teachers with their work allocation and location, making immediate leave requests, searching leave history details and leave policy details before requesting, receiving quick notifications about leave approvals and rejections and receiving making complains etc. I used PHP Version 5.6.3, MySQL Version 5.6.21, Apache Version 2.4.10, Xampp Version 3.2.1, HTML, CSS, JS, PhpMyAdmin, Angular JS and Apache Cordova as technologies and tools like Ajax, Json, jQuery, Bootstrap, Photoshop, Sublime and EDraw Max etc. Twitter Bootstrap is enabling responsive web design layout for multi-screen size devices. For the project development, Waterfall Model has been use as project methodology. So, I decided to build a web site and introduce a computerized system with a mobile app to facilitate student management, leave management and performance rating method for the school.
