Lyceum of the Philippines University High-school On-line Grading SystemRodolfo Balbin, Ramir Lares, Marco Roguel, Frank Banjo EchavezDepartment of Computer StudiesLyceum of the Philippines University Cavite Campus

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Project Context

The Lyceum of the Philippines University Cavite is one of the fastest growing educational

institutions in the province. On 2008 Lyceum of the Philippines University open the doors to

Caviteos. The Lyceum of the Philippines University Cavite is known to be the First and only resort

campus in the Philippines is one of the four main campuses that brought a grand total enrolment

approximately of 25,000 students, and about 10,000 whom are enrolled in various hospitality courses.

Lyceum of the Philippines University Cavite is headed by the oldest son of Senator Laurel, Atty.

Roberto P. Laurel. The international high school in Lyceum of the Philippines Cavite was constructed

Lyceum of the University Manilas high school department.

An online grading system is one of the best ways of communicating with the students regarding

with the grade inquiries. Teachers from different schools all over the world found out after using online

grading systems that they could be able to easily track the students grade performance, prior to that

they also found out that they could be able to easily and quickly update the students grade in a much

less time that they thought as possible. The parents of the students are also enjoying the use of the

online grading system because they can track their childs performance in school and it also helps

them to get involved of their childs schooling. Online grading system also keeps the students aware

of their grades. Another great thing about the online grading systems are that it can help create report

cards, assignment reports, class grade list, attendance report and many more.

1.2 Purpose and Description

The purpose of the system is to provide the user with a friendly user-interface that would allow

the teachers to easily make, encode, updating the grades of the students in a very accurate, efficient,

secure, flexible and reliable way. The system will be very user friendly to students even to those who

are not literately good in terms of using a computer. All the information that will be put into the system

will be stored in a database that could be retrieved when needed. The online grading system would

also replace the current grading system being used. The grades can be access by the students

anywhere as long as the internet connection is live.

1.3 Objective

The objective of the system is to provide the user with a friendly user-interface that would allow

the teachers to easily make, encode, updating the grades of the students in a very accurate, efficient,

secure, flexible and reliable way. The system would be assisting the teachers in computing, updating,

and tracking the student grade performance, allowing the student or their parents to view the grades

online. Information such as grades, schedule, class lists, will be stored in a database that could be

retrieved when it is needed by the user. This will replace the existing grading system being used to

provide teachers as well as the students a very conducive manner by removing burden task for the

teachers like the class listings and any form or similar activities that would requiring much time and

efforts.

The secretary of the High-school department will also play a major role in the system. The

secretary would be providing the teachers their user accounts, their schedules, their class lists, their


3/27


assigned grades, setting the percentage of the grade. Also the secretary will be giving the information

of the assigned section of the student, adding account for students. The system will be online,

anywhere theres an internet connection the grading system will be accessed by the users it can also

be accessed on any hand-held mobile devices that can access internet. The students will be able to

view their grades online even when theyre at the malls as long as internet connection is present.

1.4 Scope and Limitations

In our present time where fast and accurate information is needed by most of the institutions,

online grading systems is proved to be one of the solutions in giving fast and accurate results. The

online grading system is developed to encode, edit, update, to secure the grades, and to track the

students grade performance.

The secretary will be providing user accounts to the teachers and students. The secretary will

be providing the schedules to the teachers as well as the assigned subjects for each teacher, the

secretary would be also providing the class list, class section, class, setting the criteria of percentages

for grades, providing the user accounts for teachers and students, editing the password of the teacher.

The teacher would be encoding, updating, changing of password for the students. The students can

only do on the system is to view their grade.

This projects main purpose is to help the teacher in providing accurate and fast grade

reporting, making the inquiry of grade accessible anywhere.

2.0 Review of the related literature.

2.1 Related Literature

Computer Programming Language

1.

PHPis a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web

development and can be embedded into HTML. If you are new to PHP and want to get some idea of

how it works, try the introductory tutorial. After that, check out the online manual.( http://php.net/)

2.

HyperTextMarkup Language(HTML) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other

information that can be displayed in a web browser.

HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tagsenclosed in angle

brackets (like ), within the web page content. HTML tags most commonly come in pairs

like and , although some tags, known as empty elements, are unpaired, for

example . The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag(they are also

called opening tag sand closing tags). In between these tags web designers can add text,

tags, comments and other types of text-based content.

The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and compose them into visible or audible

web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of

the page.


5/27


HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and objects to be

embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It provides a means to create structured

documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes

and other items. It can embed scripts written in languages such as JavaScript which affect the

behaviour of HTML web pages.

Web browsers can also refer to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the appearance and layout of

text and other material. The W3C, maintainer of both the HTML and the CSS standards, encourages

the use of CSS over explicit presentational HTML mark-up. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML )

3.

JavaScript (JS) is an interpreted computer programming language. It was originally implemented as

part of web browsers so that client-side scripts may interact with the user, control the browser,

communicate asynchronously and alter the document content that is displayed.

JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language that is dynamic, weakly typed and has first-class

functions. It uses syntax influenced by the language C. JavaScript copies many names and naming

conventions from Java, but the two languages are otherwise unrelated and have very different

semantics. The key design principles within JavaScript are taken from the Self and Scheme

programming languages. It is a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, and

functional programming styles.

JavaScript's use in applications outside of web pages for example in PDF documents, site-specific

browsers, and desktop widgetsis also significant. Newer and faster JavaScript VMs and frameworks

built upon them (notably Node.js) have also increased the popularity of JavaScript for server-side web

applications.

JavaScript was formalized in the ECMA Script language standard and is primarily used in the form of


6/27


client-side JavaScript (as part of a web browser). This enables programmatic access to computational

objects within a host environment.

Computer Software

1.

Many people know from their own experience that it's not easy to install an Apache web server and it

gets harder if you want to add MySQL, PHP and Perl.

XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really

very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start.(

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html)

MySQL ("My Sequel") is the world's most used open source relational database management system

(RDBMS) as of 2008 that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases.

It is named after co-founder Michael Widenius daughter, My. The SQL phrase stands for Structured

Query Language.

The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU

General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements. MySQL was owned and

sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now owned by Oracle

Corporation.

MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications, and is a central component of the

widely used LAMP open source web application software stack (and other 'AMP' stacks). LAMP is an

acronym for "Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python." Free-software-open source projects that

require a full-featured database management system often use MySQL.

For commercial use, several paid editions are available, and offer additional functionality. Applications

which use MySQL databases include: TYPO3, Joomla, WordPress, phpBB, MyBB, Drupal and other

software. MySQL is also used in many high-profile, large-scale World Wide Web products, including

Wikipedia, Google(though not for searches), Facebook,Twitter,Flickr,Nokia.com, and YouTube.(

Adobe Photoshopis a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems.

Adobe's 2003 "Creative Suite" rebranding led to Adobe Photoshop 8's renaming to Adobe Photoshop

CS. Thus, Adobe Photoshop CS6 is the 13th major release of Adobe Photoshop. The CS rebranding

also resulted in Adobe offering numerous software packages containing multiple Adobe programs for a

reduced price. Adobe Photoshop is released in two editions: Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Photoshop

Extended, with the Extended having extra 3D image creation, motion graphics editing, and advanced

image analysis features.[5] Adobe Photoshop Extended is included in all of Adobe's Creative Suite

offerings except Design Standard, which includes the Adobe Photoshop edition.

Alongside Photoshop and Photoshop Extended, Adobe also publishes Photoshop Elements and

Photoshop Light room, collectively called "The Adobe Photoshop Family". In 2008, Adobe released

Adobe Photoshop Express, a free web-based image editing tool to edit photos directly on blogs and

social networking sites; in 2011 a version was released for the Android operating system and the iOS

operating system. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop)

4.

Notepad++ is a free source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages.

Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License.

Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32


9/27


API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as

many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world

carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power

consumption, resulting in a greener environment. (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/)

2.2 Related Systems

1. Ateneo de Davao University. A lot of students, and parents, have been requesting this feature

before so that grades and account balance can be inquired online. Thanks to the Ateneo

Webteam that they have fabricated this system that could make use of the finance and registrar

records to integrate it with the existing web site. To access the Ateneo myAccount feature

(http://www.addu.edu.ph), click on the Quick links drop down menu at the right panel of the Ateneo

Homepage. It's so sad that they did not make it evident on the site's navigation. A lot of students

are still not aware of this. For first time users who have not changed their password use your 5-

didgit Student ID for the student ID field and the long set of numbers (and letter) under your ID's

barcode as your password

2. Online Grading System Mean no more Changing D's to B's. Parents and students in growing

number of washington area schools can track fluctuations in a grade-point average from the

nearest computer in real time, a ritual that can track become as addictive as watching political

polls or a stock-market index. The proliferation of online grading systems has transformed

relations among teachers, parents and students and changed the rhythm of the school year.

Internet based programs including SchoolMAX and Edulink are punching midterm progress

reports into obsolescence. Prospective failure is no longer a bombshell dropped in a parent-

teacher conference. A bad grade on a test can't be concealed by discarding the evidence. A


10/27


student can log on at school, or a parent at work, to see the immediate impact of a missed

assignment on the cumulative grade or to calculate what score on the next quiz might raise an

89.5 to a 90. Report cards hold little surprise. Half of the time, I know what grade my daughter got

on something before she does. said Susan Young, mother of an eight-grader at Montgomery

Village Middle School in Montgomery Country

3. High mark for MIT's new online grading system. As the end of the semester approaches,

participants in the MIT Online Grading pilot will find the process of submitting final grades less

stressful. The new online grading system replaces a predominantly paper-based process with a

more flexible and streamlined process.

4. Online Grading Systems I am always fascinated by the different uses of computers in schools

these days. Online grading systems are a perfect example of how technology can help parents

and students stay connected with teachers, grades, and class assignments. My two daughters

attend different schools, and although each institution utilizes their online systems uniquely, both

are useful to me as a parent. It wasn't always clear to me how this technology would be beneficial,

but now I see the pros and cons of what will likely become the standard in the academic world.

Arielle's school posts every grade to every assignment, making it easy to periodically check that

she is keeping up with her school work. When she started middle school, this was more of an

issue. Now Arielle appears to be on "auto pilot" and tracking of her progress in terms of numerical

grades is less of a concern. However, when procrastination rears its' ugly head, a quick view of

her individualized online calendar allows us the much needed framework to help her prioritize and

organize.

Colette's school does not post any individual grades, but her teachers submit periodic "progress

notes" throughout the year, approximately once every nine weeks. This brief summary includes a


11/27


numerical grade to reflect her current course "average," but more importantly, it describes how she

is doing in terms of effort, organization, and class participation. Where the online system at

Colette's school proves most helpful to our family, is the detailed weekly calendar of in-class

assignments and homework, as well as upcoming quiz' and tests. (Almost) Every Sunday night,

Colette goes online and transfers each class' assignment sheet onto what we affectionately call

"The Weekly Grid," a Microsoft Word document we have created that is easy to read and follow

throughout the week. Since this is Colette's first year juggling 8 classes, this is a work in progress.

Sometimes I assist, and I admit, sometimes I am doing the work on my own if we have left this

task to the last minute and I want Colette to get to sleep. You know that procrastination is genetic!

Online grading systems may allow immediate access to grades, and often have user friendly

features to send email directly to teachers and receive quick feedback on student progress.

Teachers can upload their PowerPoint presentations to the site and sometimes allow kids to print

off missed class assignments and homework sheets. The drawbacks that I have noticed are my

being less likely to arrange face to face meetings with teachers and my lack of knowledge to all

the options available online. While I still don't believe that I am completely up to speed on this

technology, I am glad to have invested the time to learn as much as I have, so that I can continue

to be an informed parent.

5. Ateneo Launches 'ExSite' First it was the Students Grade Viewing System (SGVS) where

students can easily view their grades online; now, the Ateneo Web Team had already made the

ExSite Community Portal available for students. It can be found at http://exsite.adnu.edu.ph.

ExSite is Ateneo Communitys website which displays university announcements, members

information, memoranda, events, and other important matters. In this site, students can instantly view

their grades, subject offerings, account status and view if they still have back accounts.

Registration

One must register first to have an account in ExSite. Pertinent information like the students ID


12/27


number, name, birth date, and the email address and password (to be used to login to the portal) must

be provided.

After successfully signing up, the student must check his/her email account for the verification email

sent by the system. Once verified and activated, the student can now login the ExSite and utilize the

services offered by the system.

Note, however, that this system is still in beta phase, and the grades and account features are still to

be improved.

The pros

Before, the ExSite was available only to the University employees. Recently it has been upgraded to

cater both the employees and the students. A similar system for students has been in place for a few

years now, the online grade viewing system, the SGVS.

The advantage of this system for students is that it integrates features and functions of the University

Registrar and the Treasurers Office through an online system that can be accessed by any device

that has an internet connection.

Another advantage is on the subject offerings section it is categorized by department so it is easier to

find a specific subject than scanning through the ones posted on bulletin boards. Furthermore, it is

made convenient for students that theyre just one click away from viewing their grades, subject

offerings and account status.

The system can be accessed online so it is both easier and more convenient for the Ateneo

community.

Disadvantages

Going online nowadays poses risks for websites and business as hackers grow ever fiercer. This

poses risk for this kind of system the University has. Not to mention that when too many users connect

on the web simultaneously, one or more may receive errors.

Updating and synchronizing may also create problems with this system. During the first day of the


13/27


Second Semester enrolment, the Subject Offerings section went down during the first few hours of

the enrolment; thus, this posed problems for students who preferred to view the offered subjects

online.

Though this system is still in beta or testing phase, more features may be added in the future and

problems that the system faced during its first days of implementation may be fixed and improved over

time.

of 3.66. The security obtained (x=3.81) which is interpreted as acceptable,

reliability obtained (x=3.77) which is interpreted as acceptable, validity obtained

(x=3.7) which is interpreted as slightly acceptable, flexibility obtained (x=3.66)

which is interpreted as slightly acceptable, accuracy obtained (x=3.6) which is

interpreted as acceptable, user-friendliness obtained (x=3.58) which is

interpreted as acceptable and lastly is the level of efficiency which obtained

(x=3.47) and interpreted as slightly acceptable. The evaluators gave a

heterogeneousresponse with a grand standard deviation 0.7 with respect to

mean.

B. Recommendations

Included in this part are the recommendations, suggestions and opinions of the

developers for the improvement of the project. These can be used for further

improvement and revision of the project.

The following are the developers recommendations:

1. Make the reports accurate. Based on the findings of the level of effectiveness in

terms of accuracy, which obtained a mean of (x=3.6), it is recommended that the

system should be tested in an actual workplace where the users can examine the

accuracy of the system.

2. Improve the security. Based on the findings of the level of effectiveness in terms of

security, which obtained a mean of (x=3.81), it is recommended that the system

should provide more secured in terms of user levels.

3. Provide backup for unexpected error. Based on the findings of the level of

effectiveness in terms of reliability, which obtained a mean of (x=3.77), it is

recommended that the system should provide a backup for the system in case of

data loss and corruption on the database of the system.

4. Improve the design. Based on the findings of the level of effectiveness in terms of

user-friendliness, which obtained a mean of (x=3.58), it is recommended that the

system should change to the design that would suit its users.

5. Improve the help menu. Based on the findings of the level of effectiveness in terms

of user-friendliness, which obtained a mean of (x=3.58), it is recommended that the

system should have a help for reference in case the users need help with the

system.

6. Make the system compatible w/ another sub system. Based on the findings of the

level of effectiveness in terms of flexibility, which obtained a mean of (x=3.7), it is

recommended that the system should be able to connect to another system like

enrolment system.
