2.2 Brief description of the agency or organization

CIIT College of Arts and Technology (formerly Cosmopoint International Institute of Technology) is a proud member of the Cosmopoint Education Group (CEG) based in Malaysia. The company specializes in dynamic ICT-based courses, professional workshops and corporate trainings.

In 2008, CIIT opened its latest branch in the ICT capital of the Philippines - Quezon City –The Company aims to bring the top notch ICT education to the Filipino people and to promote strengthen the quality of ICT education. CIIT offers courses in Graphics Design, Multimedia Arts, Software Engineering, Network Design and the latest courses in 3D Animation and Game Development.

Their mission is to be a premier provider of affordable, world-class quality ICT education in the Philippines that are always industry relevant and up-to-date. To build a dynamic and constantly growing organization dedicated in bringing this education where it is needed and to produce graduates that will be globally recognized as highly competent practitioners in their respective fields.

3.0 Reason for choice of study:

For almost five years, the said organization is still developing its name in the field of learning industry while improving their school system. One of the enhancements that CIIT needs to improve is the Grade Monitoring & Subject Assessment (Student information System) that can be used by the Students, Administrators, Professors and even Parents. Here, they can access student’s info anytime anywhere using this web-based application.

Let’s face it, students are now demanding more than what we were expecting. They don’t want to wait for nothing and fall in long queues just to get their assessment done. We want to address this since we also find it inconvenient for the students. Because of that, we are proposing this system to transform the school’s manual processing such as enlisting of subjects, grade monitoring and curriculum assessment to an automated one. .

4.0 Importance / Significance of the study:

CIIT still has a lot to prove in the industry and to itself. One of the things that they need to do is to have an automated system. By implementing a SIS to manage daily school needs, everyone can now save more time and have immediate access to a variety of student data. The step by step upgrading of its currently working manual school system will benefit each and every one that is part of it.

5.0 Target beneficiaries:

5.1 Students
Students don’t have to visit each and every subject teacher during their course card distribution day. They can access their grades anywhere and assess their subjects for the next trimester as long as they are enrolled. No need to fall in long queues.

5.2 Registrar
This will help them gather the grades from the Professors. All they need to do is to login, search for the student’s id number and get all the details they want to know. They can also notify students/parents if they still have remaining balance.

5.3 Administrators
Admin can store student information in one centralized area. Admin can also update the school calendar online.

5.4 Professors
This will allow the professors to encode their student’s grades at the comfort of their respective offices. All they need to do is to login with their employee id number and freely access their students per subjects. They can put remarks especially for those students who are incomplete or failed the subject. They can also put the total number of absences for the students/parents references.

5.5 Parents
This system will allow the parents to access and monitor the progress of their child. No need to call to school just to stay connected or informed. No more wondering how your child is performing, or waiting for report cards.

6.0 Similarities with any Previous Study / Project / System (maximum of (3))

6.1 Electronic Schools Management System
In 2011, The Mindanao State University- Iligan Institute of Technology developed a computer-based student information system for their tertiary schools that helps students to assess their admissions, subject assessment, and student records/grades. The system called e.SMS (electronic-School Management System).
