Quizzes vis Short Message Service

Quizzes are usually held early in the lecture which is good because it will make
sure that students do attend the lectures early. However, there are some students
that cannot come to the lectures as early as others and missed it. In addition,
sometimes the announcement about the quizzes does not reach the student
effectively, some student might have problem accessing the e-learning website
and there might be some student that did not attend previous class when the
announcement about the quizzes were made. There is also possibility that the
answer sheets submitted will be misplaced by the lecturers. The objective of this
project is to develop a new quizzing system that will help busy lecturers to be
more organized and allow them to manage their quizzing system effectively. The
system developed can broadcast questions to all students that enrolled the subject
and receive the answers submitted by the students. It also able to stores the
answers submitted and checks whether the answers received is correct or not. In
developing this system, Rapid Application Development method is used
considering the time frame given is quite short. This system was developed using
the Ozeki Message Server, Microsoft Excel and MySQL. With the help of this
system, the current quizzing system will be more efficient and organized.
Meanwhile, for future development, this system can be improved with more
features and a better architecture and codes style.
