Needs Analysis for a Computer Based Examinations Analysis System

Needs Analysis for a Computer Based Examinations Analysis System

Having been a teacher, I have experienced the challenges of manual exams analysis. The following are some of the checklist of the things I have had to do manually in order to complete exam analysis.. This is quite typical for a Kenyan secondary school.

1. Record student’s performance per subject
2. Convert Student’s Marks to letter grades A, A-, B+, B-,…E
3. Calculate total marks for each student for the exam
4. Make a list Ranking all the students according to their performance.. a lot of work.
5. Enter student’s name and admission number in their report book/card
6. Enter Student’s Marks in each student’s report book/ report card
7. Check student’s performance for last term and enter it in report cards
8. Write down comments for the subjects
9. Lots of unnecessary paper work you might agree with me.
10. Aims and Objectives of this project
11. Remove the burden of examinations analysis, report cards writing and hordes of other record keeping from the backs of Teachers. Let the Teachers Teach.
12. Minimize the amount of time required to analyze the exams. School closing preparation shouldn’t be a tiresome experience for the teachers
13. Make exam results very accessible.
