SIsKA: Mobile Based Academic Progress Information System

The academic process of the graduate program in Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha (Undiksha) generally consists of lectures, proposal seminar, pre-thesis and thesis examination. Management process which monitors academic progress is required because every academic process requires conditions to be fulfilled by the students. The research focuses on making a mobile based academic information system named Academic Progress Information System (SIsKA). SIsKA is designed by using Data Flow Diagrams (DFD) and Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) with six tables in the database. Initially, this system requires input which is in the form of data requirement for the thesis, then the head of the administrator, can start designing the schedule from each stages. The evaluation of SIsKA mobile applications was carried out by allowing 30 Computer Science Students to use it. Feedbacks were obtained from user using a simple questionnaire. The overall rating for the system is 4.22. Overall evaluation of the product lies between good and very good. In the future, SIsKA will continue to develop to accommodate submission deadline mechanism and more advanced scheduling requirement, like parallel session.
