Developing a Decentralized Web-Based Academic Information System using Scripting Technology

Abstract / Excerpt:

Since the early 1990's, some academic institutions have been already using information technology such as the Internet as a tool for information dissemination. Presently, there is a much wider interest as information technology begins to provide greater opportunities for communication, information gathering, and other transactions through dynamic web pages.
Dynamic web pages are not possible without the aid of scripting technology tools. Scripting technology is the latest information technology tool that provides a simplified, fast way, new and better approach of developing web pages. It enhances traditional or static pages into dynamic pages. It can also access stored information from databases and display it over the Internet.
This study aims to provide a new and improved approach of disseminating curriculum information over the Internet by using the latest scripting technology tools. One of the actions taken by the study was the use of a database file created in Microsoft Access to handle the organization of identified curriculum information components and the development of a database-driven application created in Active Server Pages with embedded scripting language.
