The outcome is a robust web portal for guidance and counseling that is user-friendly.
Predictive and Statistical Analyses for Academic Advisory Supportijcsit
The ability to recognize students’ weakness and solving any problem may confront them in timely fashion is
always a target of all educational institutions. This study was designed to explore how can predictive and
statistical analysis support the academic advisor’s work mainly in analysis students’ progress. The sample
consisted of a total of 249 undergraduate students; 46% of them were Female and 54% Male. A one-way
analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test were conducted to analysis if there was different behaviour in
registering courses. Predictive data mining is used for support advisor in decision making. Several
classification techniques with 10-fold Cross-validation were applied. Among of them, C4.5 constitutes the
best agreement among the finding results.
In recent times, higher education institutions have been paying close attention to student opinions about the
experience of learning and teaching through internal surveys. The online feedback system is a web-based application
that provides students' feedback to college’s base online. This online system is a good place to find the kind of feedback
you need and it is efficient to get feedback analysis. Students provide feedback online through the use of a standard
designed form. In the proposed system, security is included, the result of which is visible only to accredited users. Online
feedback is an indispensable feature of evaluating effective and efficient teaching and learning methods. Report is made
in the proposed system for creating and the semantic web seeks to recreate the existing web concept that will enable us.

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT MONITORING IN ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT USING FACE DETEC...IRJET Journal
This document discusses a proposed system to monitor student engagement in online learning environments using face detection. The system would use face recognition and head pose estimation to authenticate that students are present and attentive during online lectures. Student engagement is important for learning outcomes, but more difficult to monitor online compared to in-person. The proposed system would collect data on attention, emotions, and activities to provide insights on class and student engagement levels. This could help instructors evaluate their teaching methods and identify students who may need extra support. The document outlines the implementation of this system using tools like the DAiSEE dataset for emotion detection and analyzing head pose to estimate attentiveness. It also provides examples of what the instructor dashboard and student interfaces may look like.

2. IU ADVISE-A WEB BASED ADVISING TOOL FOR
ACADEMIC ADVISORS AND STUDENTS
Truong Quoc Hung
Abstract
Academic advising is an important activity of an academic institution. It guides the students to explore
the potential careers, academic disciplines and opportunities in the college environment. An accurate and
full featured advising system can be an effective tool to both students and faculty advisors. The dynamic
nature of academic programs, especially in regards to the changes in the general education and other degree
requirements, poses a continuous challenge to faculty advisors to remain up-to-date. The goal of this thesis
is to implement a web-based advising system which facilitates academic advisors in their efforts to providing
quality, accurate and consistent advising services to their students. The proposed system will be implemented
using a set of open source software packages to create a low cost, flexible, customizable, and consistent system.

4. 1. Introduction
The main objective of academic advising is to guide, motivate and support students to explore their po-
tientials and make precise academic choices in order to satisfy the students’ needs and comply with academic
policies [1]. To achieve these objectives, IU South Bend employs the direct communication between advisors
and students as the main advising system. Advisors are typically faculty or professional advisors employed
by an academic unit. A normal advising session consists of meetings between an advisor and a student. On
the basis of these meetings, the student makes decisions about class schedules, choosing an academic major
or minor, planning for graduation and many other academic related activities. These important decisions
are made based on the information about previously completed courses, degree requirements, academic poli-
cies, and offered courses in the upcoming semester provided by advisors balanced against the student’s work
schedule and other interests or commitments.
The current academic advising system, however, has encountered some problems [2]. Among other issues,
there are some noticable points. First, since the academic advisors are major and comprehensive resources
for students to utilize, they need to spend time understanding and updating their knowledge about degree
requirements and academic policies as well as familiarizing themselves with students’ progress toward aca-
demic degrees prior to any advising period. This is a time-consuming task for any advisor especially when
students far outnumber the advisors. Second, a faculty advisor may not keep up with new academic policies,
new programs or new degree requirements as they may have several duties during a advising period adding to
the difficulties in updating information. This situation can lead to inconsistent information among advisors.
Third, most of the time, advisors answer recurrent questions about trivial class scheduling. In fact, these
questions could be answered easily by students themselves, if useful information about class schedules and
previously completed courses is available and easy to access. Accordingly, there should be a tool for helping
students to take advantage of authorized part of academic information before coming to their advisors. Fi-
nally, quite frequently, computer-literate students would like to have more electronic interaction for advising.
This is an important factor that needs to be taken into consideration because the students are customers of
the services both directly and indirectly [3].
Although there are some problems in the current advising system, faculty mentors or advisors cannot be
replaced completely by a computer-based system. The reason is that the academic advising process requires
the professional knowledge of academic disciplines to satisfy questions about a specific course structure,
teaching methods, etc. Moreover, the students do not only come to the advisors’ offices for course selection,
1
DRAFT: March 2, 2009
5. 1. INTRODUCTION 2
but also need recommendation while deciding their majors and careers. For these types of questions, an
academic advisor with intensive and proficient knowledge about a specific field of study is the best source to
provide valuable information that cannot be stored and interpreted from static data in a database.
This thesis proposes to implement the IU-Advise system, which supports the following activities for an
authenticated and authorized student or advisor:
• View or print an unofficial transcript or degree audit that shows the progress toward a degree and
identifies unmet requirements;
• View or print students’ advising records;
• Add or modify advising information;
• View the degree requirements for a given program in a given academic year;
• View what-if report which shows how previously completed courses fit into a new degree program;
We hope that the proposed system will be a useful tool for both advisors and students and will facilitate the
advising process.

6. 2. Literature Review
Many universities and colleges are applying computer technology to create useful tools or a complete
system that improve the traditional academic advising system. There have been many levels and means for
applying computer technology. The basic level is to develop a simple tool that can produce reports or cover
a simple task of the advising process. The higher level is the complete software system that supports the
complete advising process.
For the basic level, one useful and common tool is a degree audit reporting system (DARS). DARS, which
was developed by Miami University in 1985 [4], produces a degree audit which shows all the requirements of
a specific academic degree, the courses that satisfy those requirements and the progress of a student toward
the degree. This is a small and effective tool for both advisors and students in the advising process. DARS
has been purchased and adapted by many academic institutions such as Ohio University [5], University of
San Diego[6], University of Missouri - St. Louis [7] and etc.
In the higher level, the AdvisorTrac of RedRock Software [8] is a commercial software that supports schedul-
ing, reviewing, cancelling advising appointments, storing demographic records and keeping track of advising
records. AdvisorTrac is currently being used by a number of universities, among of which are the University
of Louisville[9], Western Kentucky University[10], Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne [11]
and other colleges.
At the software system level, redLatern, an auxilliary of Miami University [12], developed a commercial
software solution based on the DARS for both students and advisors. The solution includes 3 components:
u.select, u.direct, and u.achieve. This education software solution provides tools for most advising activities,
such as planning courses, selecting courses, keeping track of grades, generating degree audits, and other
common advising tasks with unified and consistent information throughout an academic institution.
In addition to these specialized software solutions, most comprehensive administrative software systems such
as PeopleSoft, SCT Banner and Oracle also have an academic advisement module. The current OneStart
application portal of IU South Bend provides an access to Student Self Service. Student Self Service, based
on PeopleSoft’s Human Resource Management System (HRMS) and Student Information System (SIS),
provides two advising services: View My Advisors and View My Advisement Reports [13]. The View My
Advisement Reports function allows student to view an degree audit with/without a unofficial transcript.
It also produces a what-if report that shows how current enrolled courses can be applied to a new major
when a student want to change his or her major. A course list what-if report of this service determines if a
3

selected course fits into any requirement of a given degree program. These two reports need to be polished
and reorganized in order to provide more useful information than the current version. The View My Advisor
offers a list of advisors of a given student and allows the student to notify one or many advisors. Figures
2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 show some of current SIS reports.

Figure 2.3. Part of a SIS what-if report
A commercial software package is not the only way to meet the needs of improving the quality of advising
services. There are many computer software systems developed in - house. In 1999, the Department of
Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) of Florida Atlantic University (FAU) started working on a project
of a web-based advising system. This system is composed of three components [2]:
• The FAQ component archives and presents most common questions that can be answered without
intensive knowledge about policies, requirements and courses.
• The Course component is used by advisors and administrators to maintain course information.
• The Advising component captures all the information of the advising appointments between ad-
visors and students. It then combines with the data in the database to produce a final result of
advising.
In the same manner, Indiana University: Indiana Student Information Transaction Environment [2, 14] -
ISITE was developed and used in some Indiana University campuses before OneStart [2, 14] is employed.
ISITE offers following features:
• Producing an advising report for a student’s current major
• Producing an advising report for a different major
• Producing an advising report for a special purpose program
• Viewing how in-progress courses apply to a student’s advising report
• Adding future courses, grades, and hours to see how these changes would affect the advising report

DRAFT: March 2, 2009
12. 4. Requirements
The project will be implemented by applying a 3 tier software model which includes a user interface, a
business logic and a database layer. First, any common web browser such as Firefox, Internet Explorer or
even the new Google Chrome can be used to access the user interface of this system. These web browsers
support most of the new specifications of HTML and CSS to layout and present results and forms. We
will mainly use Internet Explorer and Firefox for testing purposes. Second, the business layer that is
responsible for validating, processing and making decisions for any updates, queries, and changes on data
can be implemented using Apache (or Internet Information Services-IIS), Zend Framework, and PHP. Apache
is a free and open source web server. It is widely used and easy to install on both the Windows and Linux
platforms. PHP is a C like open source server-side scripting language. A PHP engine can be installed on
both Apache and IIS. In addition to PHP, we will also utilize the Zend Framework which is specifically
designed for PHP. It is the main tool for separating the business logic layer and the user interface layer.
Moreover, Zend Framework has a built-in templating engine and useful abstract classes for developing a web
application. Finally, the database layer will be covered by MySql Server. MySql Server a well-known open
source database engine that supports all features of a commercial database engine such as Microsoft SQL
Server. The use of PHP and Zend Framework helps us completely separate 3 layers of the application and
also increases the flexibility and maintainability of the project. Figure 4.1 shows the architecture of the
proposed system.

5.1. Advisor User Interface
For an advisor, if the authentication process returns a valid result, the proposed system will query from
the database to retrieve a list of advisees of the advisor. After processing data from the database, IU-Advise
will display a screen similar to figure 5.2. From this screen, the advisor can choose a student to show degree
audit (figure 5.5), unofficial transcript, current enrollment information or advising records.
Figure 5.2. UI for an advisor
5.2. Student User Interface
For a student, after authenticated, he/she can view the degree audit, the unofficial transcript and the
advising records through the user interface in figure 5.3. Since a student can only view the degree audit
(figure 5.4), there is no combo box in the degree audit like the advisor’s version.

15. 6. Conclusion
Academic advising plays an important role in creating a friendly education environment and providing
benefits to college students. There are always challenges to academic advisors to offer accurate, up-to-date,
and consistent advising information. IU-Advise system is developed to assist advisors in their efforts of
increasing advising productivity of improving advising process. The use of PHP and Zend Framework allow
users to comfortably customize, maintain and expand the IU-Advise system to accommodate changes and
new requirements in the future. This thesis will provide basic functionalities and build a foundation for a
full-featured system.
