The E-Student Profile – Status, Challenges and Perspectives

Abstract

This paper presents a prototype of an electronic system for the needs of students. The objective is to develop and promote a prototype electronic student profile. The methodology for designing the proposed prototype includes a review and comparative analysis of existing electronic student profiles in universities from Europe, America and Asia, based on the usability and other leading features similar to the functionality of the proposed system. Advantages of university platforms regarding functionality, user interface, usability, speed of access are described. Some of the analysed systems have weaknesses and associated problems that have been avoided in the developed electronic system. A survey was also conducted among students who actively use electronic profiles for training and administrative services, and the results were integrated to add useful features to the developed system. The paper presents the main characteristics of the proposed prototype, such as speed and ease of use, and an intuitive design with easy access to the required resources. The prototype could be implemented for the needs of academic users in any educational institution.
