THE PROBLEM AND REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Introduction
Nowadays, website becomes more ubiquitous. It gives
universal access to a large universe of documents. Through the
help of World Wide Web and websites, internet has become very
useful in many ways.
There are numerous sites that can be used for searching and
connecting people, Reconnecting with these people in this way is
perhaps the only avenue we have in some cases.
Alumni are believed to be one of the most important
constituents of a school institution. They create the school’s
reputation, which relies in large part on how successful
graduates are in the real world. If a school becomes well known
for graduates that are intelligent, innovative, and effective in
their fields, then its reputation grows.
Schools track their graduates because they need them to
continue to show interest. They are testament to the value of a
continued association with the school. But records shows that
graduates were located in various locations in different formats
which made tracking and contacting alumni an extremely time
consuming operation.

St. Paul University Philippines
Students who graduated in Tuguegarao Northeast Central
School (TNECS) want to stay connected and know that providing a
great online experience is the key to building a thriving
relationship.
The TNECS uses the resources available and has a
computerized database management system developed to handle the
data requirements of the Alumni. The effective way for the
graduates of TNECS is to use the Website with alumni tracking
system to store Alumni data for quick and efficient retrieval,
which would also provide mechanisms for the updating of the
stored data. Additionally, it foster membership records of the
Alumni.
The Website with Alumni Tracking System is the solution to
search and find alumni easily by building a personal social
network where they can share photos and news about themselves.
These also provide opportunities for the alumni to be reconnected
with former colleagues. Aside from tracing, one of objectives of
this study is to update real-time records of the alumni. The
system includes data relative to the various information about
the school and its alumni for easy updating and maintenance.

Review of Related Literature and Studies
According to George Stachokas (2016), providing
electronic resources for alumni requires careful
consideration of a number of legal, technical, financial,
and administrative questions by academic libraries. Our
review of 115 library websites, including 114 academic
library members of the Association of Research Libraries
along with Stanford University, reveals in large part what
is being made available to alumni and how the information
is organized, but also raises more questions for
investigation.
According to Timothy J. Lawson (2017), The school
utilizes the alumni to educate current and prospective
students about careers in psychology. The developed system
alumni careers website and on-campus alumni careers
sessions for students. High school students reported that
they found this information valuable, but they also valued
a broader list of psychology job titles. Nevertheless,
students appreciated the fact that the alumni careers
information was more reflective of real-world jobs of our
university’s graduates as compared to the list of job
titles.

According to Barbara Blummer (2015), In the early
1990s, numerous academic libraries adopted the web as a
communication tool with users. The literature on academic
library websites includes research on both design and
navigation. Early studies typically focused on design
characteristics, since websites initially merely provided
information on the services and collections available in
the university's physical library. Beginning in the late
1990s, technological developments coupled with new
digitization efforts offered new opportunities for
websites with commercial and local databases, electronic
journals, e-books, and virtual reference. The availability
of new content and services on library websites
facilitated research efforts comparing these features
among academic library websites. During this period,
articles also emerged that considered navigation and
usability issues for these pages. The literature on
academic library web pages documents efforts by libraries
to use web technologies and resources to serve user
groups. However, the research also suggests these efforts
were hindered by design and navigation issues with
academic library web pages. It remains especially
important that libraries consider design in the

development of their web pages to maximize usage of
content.
According to Giselle Joy Esmeria (2017), continuing
growth in the use of internet has transformed the world
into a virtual marketplace. The dependability of several
web applications has become more important to the users.
The fast growth of online applications available in the
internet drives the user interface designers to become more
competitively creative. Websites are expected to provide
the users a satisfying experience at the least. There have
been numerous research studies conducted focusing on the
design of usability heuristics to evaluate the websites.
However, few studies apply a methodology that would
actually provide a deeper meaning to the results of
usability evaluation. Usability evaluation can be
meaningless without looking at the relationships between
usability metrics and deriving its usability index. The
results of the literature review show that there is no
standard usability index that is derived to evaluate the
usability of websites. This usability index is an important
measure to determine the impact of the usability evaluation
results to the management. This paper therefore aims to
highlight the future research direction in the area of web

usability measurements that would provide a meaningful
standard score for all the usability metrics.
According to Sean D. Young(2015), Proper design has
become a critical element needed to engage website and
mobile application users. However, little research has
been conducted to define the specific elements used in
effective website and mobile application design. We
attempt to review and consolidate research on effective
design and to define a short list of elements frequently
used in research. The design elements mentioned most
frequently in the reviewed literature were navigation,
graphical representation, organization, content utility,
purpose, simplicity, and readability. We discuss how
previous studies define and evaluate these seven elements.
This review and the resulting short list of design
elements may be used to help designers and researchers to
operationalize best practices for facilitating and
predicting user engagement.
According to Carmel Taddeo (2014), School websites
are providing education settings with the opportunity to
transform and enhance the schooling experience. However,
the perceived importance of school websites and the
resources invested in developing and maintaining them

varies considerably across settings. There is a need to
better understand what constitutes an effective website
that provides a school with an avenue for delivering
innovation in teaching and learning, and complements how a
school operates. This study reviewed school websites,
specifically how 30 south Australian schools used their
website as a teaching learning portal, to support
administrative operations and as a marketing platform.
Three key questions framed the research. First, what
variables should be examined to establish how schools are
using their website. Second, what constitutes an engaging
and useful school website, and finally what development
framework can be devised to assist schools to map their
website's strengths and areas requiring further
development. The evaluation criteria addressed website
design, purpose, content and technology integration.
Indicators of progressive and emergent school websites
were identified through a deductive content analysis of
the websites, which informed a proposed website
development framework. The framework and suggested
recommendations promote a holistic approach when
developing a website to accurately portray a school's
identity and effectively address stakeholders' needs.

According to Satya Rameshbhai Joshi (2015), the
information for a department of a university on a website
tends to be general in nature and often unchanging. If the
department or the faculty wish to change, add to, or
personalize this information, they need to request the
website administrators to make this change on their
behalf. This process besides being time consuming is
inefficient and may not address the needs of the
department accurately. This thesis addresses this issue by
the development of a web based content management system.
This system provides a simple user friendly interface
where the faculty can enter/maintain their personal
information, manage information on their classes, upload
images, send emails to students registered in a class and
interact with students on a discussion board for each
class. This web system is designed to be used by the
department of Africana Studies at San Diego State
University, but with minor changes, it can be used by any
department of any university.
According to Mats Nylund (2014), the purpose of this
article is to provide an overview of research in online
video on newspapers’ websites. The article identifies a
number of relevant issues in production and business models

and presents research results concerning the production and
consumption of online news videos. Advertising in relation
to online news videos is also examined.
According to Bartlome T. Tanguilig (2015), a
conducive and structured information exchange environment
for the students was developed to help the students check
their academic result every end of the semester, make self-
enlistment that would assist the students to manage their
academic status that can be viewed in their mobile phones.
This system would also help the dean to predict how many
number of sections to be created for the next semester. The
researchers applied Hill Climbing Algorithm search
technique for the system particularly in creating self-
enlistment and finding the best set of courses to the class
schedule, and in projection of number of sections to be
created for the next semester. Rapid Application
Development (RAD) was utilized for the system development;
PHP as the programming language, and MySQL as the database.
The testing process of the system was done before deploying
it to the internet. The process was done in different
processors, operating systems and different mobile device
platforms. The system’s evaluation involved 67 respondents
from the College of Computer Studies in Manuel S. Enverga

University Foundation in Lucena City, Philippines. The
researchers made use of ISO 9126 based Likert modified
scale type of questionnaire that assess the system’s
acceptability in terms of functionality, reliability,
usability, efficiency, maintainability and portability.
Non-probability sampling method was used in selecting
respondents under a purposive-sampling scheme. The results
of the evaluation for the prototype yielded a general
weighted mean of 4.44 that describes the respondents
strongly agree that the developed system was acceptable
According to Wenjun Cao (2013), long waiting times
for registration to see a doctor is problematic in China,
especially in tertiary hospitals. To address this issue, a
web-based appointment system was developed for the Xijing
hospital. The aim of this study was to investigate the
efficacy of the web-based appointment system in the
registration service for outpatients.
According to Whitney Sue Thoene (2014), the effect of
social media particularly Facebook and Twitter, on the
purchasing habits of college students reveals the
correlations between recommendations on social media and
consumption patterns. Moreover, the research also examines

the role of gender and social media usage frequency on
consumption patterns. Findings revealed that both Facebook
and Twitter are being used to obtain sales information and
promotions. Furthermore, gender has an impact on both
social networking sites. Additionally, this study found the
higher the frequency of social media usage the more likely
customers are to shop at the businesses they have
befriended.
According to Agatha Larson (2016), the students’ use
of social media has its effect on academic performance of
tertiary institutions students. Out of one thousand five
hundred and seventy-eight copies of the questionnaire
distributed, one thousand five hundred and eight were
retrieved which represented a response rate of 95.5 %. The
study revealed that majority of the respondents had mobile
phones which also had Internet facility on them and had
knowledge of the existence of many media sites. The study
further confirmed that most of the respondents visit their
social media sites using their phones and spend between
thirty minutes to three hours per day. In addition, the
study revealed that the use of social media sites had
affected academic performance of the respondents negatively
and that there was direct relationship between the use of

social media sites and academic performance. The study
recommends among others that, students with mobile phones
having internet facility should be encouraged to use it to
supplement their research in the library rather than the
usual charting with friends all the time. Students should
be encouraged to limit the time they spend on their social
media sites per day and advise them to rather substitute
those hours to read novels to improve their knowledge.
Since the use of social media sites had affected the
academic work of students negatively there is the urgent
need for the introduction of students to the availability
of novels and other information resources or materials that
can help them academically.
According to Enriquez Annabel (2016), a system ought
to consist the development of a contributory web
application to display and gather information on French
Colonial era Art Deco architecture in Hanoi, Vietnam. The
goal of this application is to create the foundation for a
web-based spatial inventory of existing French Colonial era
buildings. The inventory is meant to advise policymakers
and heritage organizations on priority resources to protect
the existing base of resources as well as to create a
historic record of the historic urban landscape. This is

important because the push to modernize infrastructure in
emerging nations often leads to the destruction of the
colonial heritage fabric in urban areas
According to Jomel Villlanueva (2015), the Internet
has created the foundation for a networked economy—an
extended business community in which vendors, partners, and
customers interact and collaborate. But while the Internet
Protocol (IP) standard has created a universal link between
data and voice networks, companies uses business
applications built from a complex array of diverse
platforms, operating systems, programming languages, and
vendors. Now, the software industry wants to fix this with
Web services. Web services are self-contained, self-
describing, modular applications that can be published,
located, and invoked across the web. Web services perform
functions, which can be anything from simple requests to
complicated business processes. We shall present the

According Christina Noe (2015), the WAVER (Web-based
Application for Virtual Exercise Regimen) project takes
advantage of available 3D motion technology to provide

stroke patients with an inexpensive and more accessible
alternative to conventional rehabilitation. Specifically,
WAVER uses the LEAP device to assist patients who have
mobility and dexterity limitations due to a stroke,
disability, or even sports-related injury. Patients may
face physical adversity in pursuing rehabilitation. Not all
patients are conveniently distanced from a medical facility
and may find that commuting daily worsens their pain,
lightens their wallets, and forces them from the comfort of
their homes as they deal with pain and circumstances
affected by their disability. The WAVER solution to these
problems is a web-based application that utilizes the 3D
LEAP Motion sensory controller, which is an affordable and
compact device that can be used by any home computer or
laptop. WAVER presents exercises to a patient that can be
performed by the patient in their own 3D space, which is
then tracked by WAVER for on-screen feedback to the
patient, as well as the potential to share the results
remotely with a therapist.
According to Chen Tang (2015), a Web-based technology
system was put forward aiming at the actual problems of the
long maintenance cycle and the difficulties of the

maintenance and repairing of medical equipments. Based on
analysis of platform system structure and function, using
the key technologies such as search engine, BBS, knowledge
base and etc, a platform for medical equipment service
technician to use by online or offline was designed. The
platform provides users with knowledge services and
interactive services, enabling users to get a more ideal
solution.

METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research design, research
participants of the study, the data gathering tools, the
data gathering procedures and the statistical treatment used
in analyzing and interpreting the gathered data.
Research Design
The research used the descriptive research design.
Through the descriptive survey design, the study obtained
needed information such as the address, name, contact
number, gender, year graduated of the alumni. The systems
development research design would be used in the development
of the proposed Website with Alumni Tracking for the alumni
following the prototyping model.

Description of the Present System
Above is the present system of informing their Alumni
when the Tuguegarao North-east Central School have a certain
event of Homecoming for their Alumni. Since they never
experienced having a system related to the proposed system,
they would inform their alumni through the contact number of
the parents of alumni and after this, the parent would
inform their son or daughter. Which takes time, because they
need to find their record of the alumni manually. They would
find this through their record per batch. After the alumni
are informed they would either go to school or not because
they might be in another place or they moved to another
place.

Description of the Proposed System

The proposed system would be the enhanced automated
version of the present system used by Tuguegarao Northeast
Central School (TNECS). The administrator would be the one
to create alumnus account for the system and to update
student and alumni information and also the homepage of the
website. End user can access the website using the internet
as the medium of communication. The updates of information
regarding the events, activities and alumni would be
inputted by the Administrator. All information is stored in
database. The database are accessed by a server. The
students, alumni, events, activities can be downloaded as an
excel file.

have the chance to be informed regarding the top performing
students and accomplishments of the school.
Instrumentation
The researchers made use of a survey questionnaire and
interview methods of research. The data gathered with a
survey questionnaire technique and through the interview
method. The survey questionnaire method was used to identify
the needs of the client in the Web application and further

understand the condition of the system and also collect
data from the client. This was also used on how they manage
the data of the students and how they use it. The
questionnaire paved way to ask about the problems they
experience in creating an activity for the students. The
researchers were able to identify the requests of the
clients regarding on how they see the system.
Furthermore, the researcher also used interview method
to understand clearly the needs of the client within the
Web application.
An interview conducted with the researchers and the
client is done to gather data through face-to-face
conversation where the questions are asked by the
researchers to the clients to collect information that can
be added or included in the Web application. This will act
as a consultation of the researcher to the client.
Library research was very useful way to gather data,
this is where the researchers find relevant information of
their project in the library where they can have a basis of
their study with the information, facts and data, that are
available and useful in the project, in the library.

The data gathering tool utilized in this research where
the survey questionnaire, interview method and library
research.

Chapter 4
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the summary of the findings, the
research work undertaken, the conclusions drawn and the
recommendations made as an output of this study.
Summary of Findings
The Tuguegarao Northeast Central School website with
tracking alumni” was conducted to develop for the Tuguegarao
Northeast Central School. The difficulties presented in the
following:
1. The Tuguegarao Northeast Central School
disseminates information through the contact number of the
parents of alumni and after this, the parents will inform
their son or daughter. Also, they are distributing fliers
and posting tarpaulins. However, this process takes time
because they need to find manually the documents of their
alumni.

2. An Automated System is developed to enhance the
manual process of tracking the Alumni entitled “Tuguegarao
Northeast Central School Website and Tracking System” which
will help the school to track their alumni and lessen their
workloads, this will make their work easier, faster, and
efficient.
3. The assessment of the developed system has been
appreciative to the IT Experts. The proposed system has been
established by the developers to provide a user-friendly,
faster, and more convenient access to the users in
monitoring and tracking the alumni. It has a good interface
for the users to understand and learn.

Conclusions
This study was conducted to develop a “Tuguegarao
Northeast Central School Website with Alumni Tracking” for
the Tuguegarao Northeast Central School.
Tuguegarao Northeast Central School Website with Alumni
Tracking will help the Tuguegarao Northeast Central School
to monitor and track their alumni. The Website features an
online registration which improves the managing of
information. It enables the organizing school to communicate
and conduct follow ups via email technology.
The website also have the ability to open the doors for
every comment and communication between the school,
students, parents, and alumni. The Tuguegarao Northeast
Central website will provide the users an online, secured
and caring environment and will supply the users with
updated information about the school.
The developed system is beneficial to the Tuguegarao
Northeast Central School for easier and more convenient for
tracking their alumni

Recommendations
The recommendations are shown in the following and
have been implemented in the system:
1. The school may provide accounts for the alumni for
security purposes
2. The developer may add more transactions other than
just check attendance
3. The developer may add more features of alumni
tracking to justify the cost of the system.
4. The developer may add memo and forum in the website
for the users to understand the system.

Alumni are believed to be one of the most important

constituents of a school institution. They create the school’s

reputation, which relies in large part on how successful

graduates are in the real world. If a school becomes well known

for graduates that are intelligent, innovative, and effective in

their fields, then its reputation grows.

Schools track their graduates because they need them to

continue to show interest. They are testament to the value of a

continued association with the school. But records shows that

library members of the Association of Research Libraries

along with Stanford University, reveals in large part what
