page is for you. The work was done with you in mind; it's simple and
user-friendly!
The project loads automatically to the start page which is
a basic display that automatically refreshes to the origin. The origin refreshes

eRegistration: Pioneering eEducation in African Universities
The boundaries that mark the distinctive location of nations are fast fading off
as technological innovations turn the whole world into a global village. Education, business, governance,
agriculture, automobiles, communications and all other spheres of human endeavour are not left out in this dynamic
revolution.
Education, particularly, has a lot to do in other to keep up with the global pace
for a balanced society. This poses an automatic challenge to Universities (in developing nations), as they
must endeavour to restructure their entire systems, protocols and procedures so
as to have a good chance of competing on a global scale.
The course curricula, the registration procedure and the entirety of processes must be refined to conform with global standards that would make possible a
networked system and prevent isolated operations.
This final year project is borne out of the desire to see this same change effected
in the student registration procedure at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife,
Nigeria. This project, Software Based Student Registration Procedure using HTML and Java and hosted on the University Intranet
(eRegistration), required
consultations for a proper understanding of the student registration procedure at
the Obafemi Awolowo University, a study of the University's Intranet and an application of the knowledge of HTML and Java in converting the tedious
manual procedure into a software-based system.
We believe that this University can pioneer this phenomenon and thus open
up development opportunities for other Nigerian and African Universities, and the nations they represent.
The project is titled SOFTWARE BASED STUDENT REGISTRATION PROCEDURE, Using HTML and Java, HOSTED ON THE UNIVERSITY
INTRANET. It is in partial fulfillment of the award of B. Sc .(Hons) Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Technology, Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile-Ife. The project was carried out by SESAN O. O. (954318)
and SOWANDE O. A. (954112) under the supervision of Prof. L. O. KEHINDE (lkehinde@oauife.edu.ng).
All registration forms that are available for data entry by fresh University students have been converted into a software format (OAU in this project as
a sample) and data entry is submitted to a central database, the OAU intranet in this
case, where the data is available for retrieval by all the quarters that use such students’ data eg Student Affairs Division, Halls of
Residence, Administrative Offices, etc.
INSIDE THIS CD:
This CD contains a demo of the project, a user’s guide for new users, a database
model. It also contains useful information for the benefit of all fresh students. It also contains the thesis as submitted to the department.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
The CD runs automatically on any PC with Microsoft Internet explorer but we recommend at least 8MB RAM, 1.2 GB HD size and a
Pentium processor as minimum system requirements to view the demo.
