- Abstract
Accurate, efficient and reliable academic result computation systems are key for the advancement and stability of any academic institution. Result is one of the performance indexes used to evaluate the effectiveness of the lecture, teaching materials and method of teaching adopted by a lecturer. Result is also a parameter used to evaluate and rank the students on academic scale. Hence result is a performance index that can be used to evaluate and rank both the teachers and the students. Based on the aforementioned, there is need for efficient and robust academic result delivery system. This paper showcases a comprehensive academic result presentation and delivery toolkit. Though the software is developed using Python, it is compiled as a standalone executable Graphical User Interface (GUI) toolkit, hence it does not require any installation of any programming language or their dependencies. No programming skill or knowledge is required before using this toolkit. This result toolkit has nineteen main functions, four of which are presented in this paper. The tool is used to prepare Senate format results for University of Jos, authentication and mailing of approved course registration, and presentation and electronic routing (mailing) of results. The tool incorporates a proactive mechanism for withheld results notification, and pending courses to register. The usual practice in University of Jos is that, withheld results and pending courses to register are only made known to the students when results were pasted. But with this tool, pending courses to register are electronically mailed to the students after registration before the commencement of exam. In the same vein, the tool automatically collates all withheld results and the affected students before the results are presented to Senate.
