An Online Web Application For News Around The School

CHAPTER FIVE
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.0    SUMMARY
At the end of the study I have been able to achieve the following at the completion of this work
•        To replace the error prone manual system with the new computerized online news portal.
•    Data can now be processed with great speed and efficiency
•    Security of data is ensured.
5.1    CONCLUSION
The online system has become a requirement to every organization nowadays and the use of the Information Technology is becoming an absolute must in this digital era.Through online system, an organization can operate in a more systematic and efficient way.
To conclude, implementing a campus portal will effectively engender a fundamental shift in the way an organization provides services: users’ expectations for interacting with the organization and other users (for example academic staff) are improved, for example, access to more information that is better organized. We believe that a portal should be a complementary component of the total campus’ Web design, and needs to be viewed as integral element, rather than an add-on or competing technology. A portal represents a change in the institutionalphilosophy with regard to the delivery of services, and is a major shift to a customer-centric design of campus-wide IT facilities.
It is clear that almost all universities will implement a portal in the next few years. Many of the leaders in the field would have already gained key competitive advantages, such as recruiting students, developing relationships with suppliers and other bodies. Those who are still undecided to implement portals will be driven by pressure from students and parents who see the benefits of portals and are choosinguniversities who offer them.
Besides, it also gives the users a systematic, convenient and flexible way of getting information at anytime and anywhere as long as there is an Internet connection.
5.2    RECOMMENDATIONS
The research work carried out is limited to online news portal for Computer and Information Technology Students only. It will be better if a full portal is developed for an effective and wholesome implementation of information management technology in the university. When this is done the following modules are recommended to be included in the portal.
1.        Developing an online news portal to enable full dissemination of news and information to the student.
2.        Maintaining a central database for accessing all information relating to news.
