Design and Implementation of a Mobile Students’ Course Registration Platform

Abstract

This paper describes a Mobile Application Based Course Registration Platform (MABCRP) designed and implemented to facilitate the process of students' course registration within a University system. This was designed to serve as an alternative to web based and online course registration system being currently used by most universities. This intends to bring course registration closer to the students who are vastly great users of mobile devices. The developed mobile application will enable students to automatically register expected courses per semester, view all registered courses and also to add or delete registered courses. Result of user evaluation of the developed MABCRP shows that it has a good usability in terms of usefulness and ease of use. The results also indicate that the developed MABCRP is capable to help students register their academic courses more easily without location being a barrier.
