The Internet has made it possible for mankind to advance further into discovering things that seemed impossible before. Businessmen across the globe were able to keep track of their transactions and deals from other nations even if their companies are miles away. Scientists are able to collaborate with their colleagues from another country and send data in just a fraction of a second. Loved ones working abroad has lessened feeling of missing home because there families can easily reach them easily thru social networking sites.
The researchers have decided to harness the power of the internet in order establish the school’s online presence through the creation of a system that will enable students to monitor their grades online, for instructors to easily encode grades for their classes, and for the administration to easily manage the grades of their students, old and new.
Acquire franchised a branch from AMA Computer Learning Center (CLC). The CLC branch, situated in the MATS Building at Juan Ulna Street, occupying the second the third floor came known as CLC Northman or known by many as “Northman”. During those times, CLC is composed of four administration staff and four faculty members all aiming to provide holistic and quality education in Information Technology. They helped in educating the first batch of students with 226 Population until they graduated in May of 1998.
The students of Northman were classified according to their course namely: Computer System and Design (CADS), Computer Secretarial (CSS) and Computer Technician (CT). Later on, these courses were renamed as Diploma in Software Development (SD), Diploma in Office Information System (OSI), and Diploma in Networking and Telecommunication Technologies respectively. With the demand for IT professionals, students became more and more interested in acquiring a degree in IT. That is why in response for this demand.
It will be beneficial to the following: To the Registrar – With the use of this system, the registrar only needs to search for the students name and make a printable version of all their grades, thereby be able to easily assess them. Some students do not have to go to the registrar if they just wanted to check their grades, reducing the task of the registrar. To the Instructors – Instructors can make use of the grading system to automatically track their student’s progress through sorting. They can easily see all their students who have good grades and those who need improvement.
To the Students – They can easily see their grades even if they lose their class cards. They will be able to see their progress and check all of the grades securely. To the Parents – This system will help parents monitor the grades of their children without the need to check on the class cards or going directly to the registrar. F. SCOPE AND LIMITATION a.

The researchers gathered e- journals, other thesis studies and books related to the online grading system. A. FOREIGN Online Grading Systems Mean No More Changing Ad’s to Bi’s Daniel De Vise Washington post Staff Writer Monday, November 3, 2008 The proliferation of on line grading systems has transformed relations among teachers, parents and students and changed the rhythm of the school year. Internet-based programs including Schoolmarm and Deadline are pushing 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 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. Parents say the programs reconnect them to the academic lives of their children, a relationship that can decay as students move from elementary to middle and high school. Such knowledge can also feed the controlling tendencies of the helicopter parent.
Mrs.. Young receives an e-mail alert each time a grade is posted in any of her daughter’s classes, which is almost every day. “You can get a little obsessive about it,” she said. In the past year or two, the wave of Internet-based classroom “portals” has given parents and students the ability to review grades, download homework assignments and chat with teachers online. Such programs are increasingly common across the nation, a fringe benefit of the move toward centralized databases of grades, test scores and other education minutiae.
School systems have fresh interest in such data because of the federal No Child Left Behind law, which requires them to report statistics on performance, attendance and discipline. The success of such programs depends on their security. Charles County schools posted grades online last school year but took them down this fall after the program accidentally gave some parents access to the grades of other people’s children. The school system is searching for a new program because parents miss their daily fix.
Online Grading Systems Diane Sieve To begin with, software has to be installed on a computer as an application; in other words, to use the grading software, you must be using a computer on which that software has been installed. On the other hand, online grading systems can be employed from any computer that has internet access. That means you can work on your grades from home or in the classroom without having to lug a laptop back and forth. Another benefit of working with online grading systems is that you can post student grades online.
Students are then given a log-in ID and a password so that they can check their academic progress whenever they feel like it. Gone are the days that students could complain and claim they had no idea they were doing poorly–posting grades online means that staying informed of their scholastic situation is the student’s responsibility. The same idea goes for parents as well. All too often parents feel like they’re left in the dark when it comes to their child’s academic situation–the occasional progress report isn’t always enough to get them up-to-date.
If parents can access their child’s grades online, they can nip minor problems in he bud and keep said problems from blooming into a scholastic catastrophe. Grading Systems Thomas R. Gushes and Howard R. Polloi Encyclopedia Education 2002 This article states that grading is an exercise in professional judgment on the part of teachers. It involves the collection and evaluation of evidence on students’ achievement or performance over a specified period of time, such as nine weeks, an academic semester, or entire school year.
Through this process, various types of descriptive information and measures of students’ performance are converted into grades or marks that summarize students’ accomplishments. Although some educators distinguish between grades and marks, most consider these terms synonymous. Both imply a set of symbols, words, or numbers that are used to designate different levels of achievement or performance. They might be letter grades such as A, B, C, D, and F; symbols such as ? , and ? -; descriptive words such as Exemplary, Satisfactory, and Needs Improvement; or numerals such as 4, 3, 2, and 1.
Reporting is the process by which these judgments are communicated to parents, students, or others. The issues of grading and reporting on student learning continue to challenge educators. However, more is known at the beginning of the twenty-first century than ever before about the complexities involved and how certain practices can influence teaching and learning. To develop grading and reporting practices that provide quality information about student learning requires clear thinking careful planning, excellent communication skills, and an overriding concern for the well-being of students.
Combining these skills with current knowledge on effective practice will surely result in more efficient and more effective grading and reporting practices. B. LOCAL http://www. Demoded. Com/essays/Online-Grading-System-745794. HTML Online Grading System is a web-based application that can be used to create report cards, class grade list and roll sheet attendance report. It posts the grades of the students online. The student has an account to access their report card. Parents can view and be updated on the performance of their children.
While teachers work load can be lessen through computing the grades automatically. Nava Vicar State University, Laboratory High School, Bombings Campus, Bombings, Nava Vicar, has 380 students and 18 faculties. They are liken o other schools who normally release the students grade list and report cards in a delayed time because they compute it using Microsoft Excel electronic spreadsheet and then man ally compute the students’ grades list to double check. Thus resulting for the students to waste time and effort in always going back to school just to get their report cards.
In some instances, students are not showing nor updating their parents concerning their performance in school. There are times that students are forging the signature of their parents just to assure their teachers that they have showed it to their parents. In the part of the teachers, they are always put more time in computing the grades Of the students because they manually compute it then check on the Microsoft Excel electronic spreadsheet to double check. For the parents they have been depraved in knowing the performance of their children because they need to go to work for living.
The Computerized Registration System University of the Philippines – Dilemma The campus uses what is called the Computerized Registration System (CARS). As with other universities in the Philippines, this System enables students to view grades online without the need to go to their respective colleges. For the faculty members, a separate websites for grades submission is presented, but uses the same database that the student website accesses. Students only need to go to the HTTPS://cars. Bud. Dud. PH/ and login to the system using the details provided by the up Computer Center.
If correct details are given, the student will be presented with a list of available options he/she can access. Figure 1: Homepage of BUD CARS Student side Using this system, the student is able to pre-register his/her subjects for the next semester if pre-registration is already open. He/she can also drop abject he wants if the option is still available for the current semester. The viewing of grades online is also presented. This unofficial grades is what the students will be submitting to their respective departments, hence will serve as their final grades for that semester.
This is a problem solving approach that the study is described in the future on what will be when certain variables are carefully controlled or manipulated according Paler- Calamari cited in Methods of Research and Thesis Writing, 2006. Experimental design is a research wherein a researcher manipulates and intros one or more independent variables for variation concomitant to the manipulation of the dependent variable.
