Design and Implementation of SITC Faculty Portal.

ABSTRACT

American University of Nigeria (AUN) has many web application used every day both by students and faculty. For students, faculty and other staff to know about a course or department; they have to visit the AUN website and they can only have little information about them.

This problem is faced by students, faculty and visitors that want know about the school of information, technology and computing in the American University of Nigeria.

SITC is the second largest school in AUN and it should have its own website platform where people can know more about the courses offered in the school, Catalogs, dean, different majors offered in the school and chairs of these majors.

The STIC Faculty Portal will give a clear image of the school of STIC and will help the faculty share documents and information among themselves. This application would have a logo of AUN and a description of the courses offered.

A user would be required to simply log in in order to have access to the portal. It will have portlets which are pluggable user interface software components that are managed and displayed in a web portal, example are calendar, newsfeed and others.

It would be compatible to any device supporting a web browser (like most of our phones and tablets). Given there is internet connection on campus and the compatible devices are mostly portable, this portal will be accessed.

This application if deployed would provide an easier, faster to know about the STIC for students, alumni, faculty and even visitors. And it will provide solutions to all of the above mentioned challenges faced by the member of SITC.

INTRODUCTION

 1.1 Background 

American University of Nigeria is a digital community in which almost everything runs online. There are so many web platforms used every hour of every day by both faculties and students.

The current way of accessing these platforms is to some extent time consuming and redundant. One has to manually visit the webpage from his/her browser, input login details where required before accessing any of these pages.

This hierarchical long process makes the whole process boring and in some cases confusing especially to first time users (fresh students/faculties). For users that happen to set different passwords for different platforms, it is very likely to forget or mix-up one for another.

Another problem is that, each of these web platforms has to be opened separately in a new browser tab. It has to be completely managed separately.

However, not that one cannot access any of the platforms on his mobile phone, No, surely everyone can. But this application would be introducing a completely different way of doing it. It would provide a very nice looking and mobile friendly interface with straightforward commands, hints and pop-up messages.

This application if deployed, would provide an easier, faster and more efficient way of utilizing the chosen American University of Nigeria web platforms by proving solutions to all of the afore mentioned challenges faced by users.
