ABSTRACT

An online assignment handling is a system contained within the Module virtual learning environment. Assignments are submitted by students either individually or in groups. Assignment management involves collecting, marking, and redistributing to students. The aim of the study is to design and implement an online assignment submission system. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to: develop a system for proper documentation of students’ record in the school system, create a database that will manage each student assignment submission and allow access by lecturer to access those files submitted by the student, Create a quick search and advance search that the student / lecturer when sorting a file, and assure equal opportunity and impartial review of student assignment submission. The methodology adopted in this study is the object oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. This study will be of immense benefit to Students, Lecturers and other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study. The expected result is an Online Assignment Submission Management System that will process student's submitted assignment in a school, and the system will provide the feedback or assignment report of the teacher/lecturer to each academic student who submitted their assignment.
