CHAPTER I
PROJECT IDENTIFICATION
PROJECT CONTEXT
With the quick escalating advancement of technology within the
past years, there is only one sure thing, and that there is more to come.
Ever since the wide application of computers in the daily activities of
men, people became dependent on the internet.
In the 1990s computers became very common to all household as
compared to the previous decade. This was because of wide use of
computers in school or work since it is considered as a necessity by then.
With the introduction of the internet to the public, many people or
would be surfers realized the colossal potential of the internet, that it is
not just limited for the use of businessmen. Today, many sites were
developed just to provide an easy access to a certain information or genre
of topics. Having an access to the internet is just like having an access
to the biggest library in the world. With its fast means of providing data

one can search any information within a minute. Communication of
the past was widely improved by the use of internet. Distances
and location is no longer a burden in contacting any person, for as
long as there is an access to the internet. The greatest example is the
snail mail. Snail mail delivery time is greatly affected by the distance
and geology of its recipient. As compared to the e-mail, one will not
hesitate to say that it is much faster. Information sharing is also
improved. With peer-to-peer downloading, one can always share
information that is needed by other people and one can always receive
information that they need from other people. Video teleconferencing
also improved the communication options of everyone. With this
technological advancement, crucial conversations that are needed to run
a company can be achieved even if some of the concerned members are
away from the conference site.
Students and employees of today rely on a fast distribution of
information. This information is essential in their day to day living to
operate and organize their daily activities properly. The key factor in a
fast distribution of information is a quick and efficient means of
communication. This can be achieved by enabling every concerned
individual in the institution to tap or communicate with each other
regardless of their location and the availability to respond to people who
require their information.

Seeing the wide use of internet today, some professors of the
institution are going Green by asking for a soft copy of their
requirement from the students so that printing in papers can be avoided
thereby less trees are cut per every paper that is saved from printing. If
we eliminate or lessen the cutting of trees in our forest, but still going
beyond our desire for technological excellence, there is no need to worry,
we can still live in this planet and have a promising life ahead of us.
At the beginning, the school was exclusively for high school boys
as St. Agnes was the high school for girls. Among the associates of Fr.
Carullo were Msrg. Justiniano Romano, Fr. Alfonso Molina, Fr. William
Rehante, and Fr. Rustico Burce, among others. Sometime in 1952 a
very strong typhoon visited Albay which brought about so much untold
sufferings to many people and among those affected was the Liceo de
Albay which was badly damaged by the typhoon. Because of the effects
of the typhoon, the living conditions of the people became very difficult,
and operating the school was becoming untenable. It was also at this
time that SVD was looking for a place to put up a school here in Albay.
According to a very reliable informant, a certain Fr. Joseph Bates kept
coming back and forth sometime in 1959-1960 to the Bishop and was
arranging and negotiating for the acquisition of the Liceo de Albay.
Circumstances at the management level of Liceo seemed to be no longer
favorable to continue the management of the school due to problems
related to finances. So it was evident that God interceded for the transfer
-
8/4/2019 Table of Contents Test
6/45
6
of the ownership of Liceo de Albay from its former owner, Fr. Juan
Carullo to the SVD's led by Fr. Joseph Bates. In 1959 the formal
transfer of ownership and management was effected. It was allegedly for
a consideration of Php30,000.00. Reconstruction began to shape-up.
Fr. Joseph Bates poured in his personal finances and brought money
coming from his family and friends, from the United State of America.
When the Bicol Association of Catholic Schools (BACS) was formed,
Fr. Bates was chosen as its chairman. Then, another priest by the
name of Fr. Honesto Moraleda, who was the parish priest of St. Micahel
Parish in Oas, Albay came to know Fr. Bates in the course of their
jointly running the affairs of the BACS, including the holding of the very
successful BACS Meet. The two (2) came to know each other very closely
and so, Fr. Bates invited Fr. Moraleda to join him in the school and
with the permission of Bishop Flaviano B. Ariola, Fr. Honesto Moraleda
officially joined Fr. Bates and became the 1st High School Principal
while Fr. Bates was the Director. In 1961 the Liceo de Albay became the
Divine Word High School, later to become Divine Word College of
Legazpi.1
Today Divine Word College of Legazpi is continuously aiming to be
the best school in the region and competing even in the national level of
education, by applying different academic approaches and strategies in
serving its students and the community with excellence and
professionalism. Even acquiring an expensive online enrollment,

accounting, and academic record system, promoting its services in all
possible way, be it through print, radio, television and the web/internet
media. The school acquired and maintained a website application to be
updated with the present trend in information technology.
The Divine Word College website only displays information about
the school and never interacts with its viewer. It displays the history and
background of the school, the courses being offered by different colleges,
the updates from the presidents corner, the board passers, activities and
events, the offices and its staff, and even link to the new e-student, e-
faculty, e-library and many more.
This website as far as the researchers discern is not sufficient
and is not even good enough compared with other schools and
universities internet sites, in terms of its capability to bring more
reliable, accurate and updated information to the general public and its
students. Applying more complex and interactive web sites that will
cater its need to compete with the rest of the school in the region and
even the world will further promote its mission of academic excellence
and service to every Bicolano.
Upon completion of this proposed new website, the academic staff,
the President, the Dean of the College of Engineering and Computer
Studies, the Faculty, the students, and the public will play a vital role.
The President can post and update his messages to be viewed via this
media, and his office will be in-charge of posting the monthly updates of

the school. The Dean of Engineering and Computer Studies likewise
must post the departments information and messages to the concerned
faculty and students. Teachers will be given the rights to upload his/her
preferred lesson for the students. Student and the public as well can
interact with their teacher using the proposed online forum. Similarly
the public can visit the school website anytime to browse more about the
school and its services.

LOCAL LITERATURE
Van Dusen sets forth an optimistic view of how technology will
transform education. He quoted that advances in computer technology
pave the way for an accessible inquiry system. With the use of a
computer and the World Wide Web, examinees can easily check the
results of an entrance examination.
The push to provide technology in schools has been successful in
recent years. According to Goldman, Cole and Syer (1999), most schools
have computers hook up to the internet. Although technology is more
prevalent in the schools, several factors include placement of computers
for equitable access, technical support and availability of services. With
the aid of the Internet and Web technology schools are undergoing a
major transformation. There is a massive effort to utilize the internet as
an effective communication tool and storage medium for education,
research and support services. The web is both a communication and
computation medium supporting direct asynchronous and synchronous
communications, data storage and indexing and vast arrays of other
multimedia, client-server or peer-to-peer interactions. Frequently, the
internet is used for course web pages, electronic message boards, e-mail
distribution lists, online grading or even result inquire.1
That is why the researchers intend to create an interactive website
that will bring out the Divinian spirit to the world of multimedia and
technological development. This will not only boost the school services in

terms of providing news and updates to the public but fulfill its dream to
be one of the best in the region and in the world in terms of information
technology.
Database System Concepts Fifth Edition also helped the
researchers organize their database structures that they need to
implement their system. In this context they presented the fundamental
concepts of database management. These concepts include aspects of
database design, database languages, and database-system
implementation. This text is intended for a first course in databases at
the junior or senior undergraduate or first-year graduate, level. In
addition to basic material or first courses, the text contains advanced
material that can be used for course supplements, or as introductory
material or an advanced course.2
Databases are the main reason they enjoy highly dynamic and
exciting online applications. A database is basically a critical factor in
the quick storage, process as well as display of information. It has
become an integral part of any organization, regardless of type and size.
In most cases, commercial shrink wrap software products usually lack
the key feature, or are more likely to fail in meeting your companys
unique requirements. This is why most competitive organizations
requires custom databases for their unique business processes.3
In creating and building a program or information system,
incorporation of database in it is something that is more complex and
-
8/4/2019 Table of Contents Test
18/45
18
vital in terms of management. One must apply a sort of security
measure in order to protect the vital storage and transmission of data
and information from the server to the user. This data is very much
important that is why interference of its transmission and storage must
not be put at stake. Likewise the proposed system will have its own
database management system, and necessary measures must be
observe, and data should be well kept and manage.
FOREIGN LITERATURE
Web utilities are specialized utility programs that make use of the
Internet and the Web easier and safer. Some of these utilities are
Internet services for connecting and sharing resources over the Internet.
Others are browser-related programs that either become part of your
browser or are executed from your browser.4 One of the concept in
creating and upgrading the DWCL online information system is to
integrate the so called sharing and uploading of lessons by teachers in
order for student to have access to data and information using the
medium, electronic file transfer. This study is capable of transferring
data from one source to the other using World Wide Web, in local area
connection or via live application, the internet. Upon completion,
messages and short insights from concerned students, teachers and
public viewer will have its room the integrated online forum.

Encryption is a way of concealing information by changing it into
apparent gibberish, and only legitimate users have the key to changing
the gibberish back into comprehensible form. Data is encrypted by
means of mathematical formulae, and the most powerful forms of
encryption, called strong encryption, are extremely difficult to break.
The strongest forms would, theoretical, take very large number of
computers many billions of years to solve. By the time the Earth will be
gone, anyway, so the information would be rather out of date.5 Issues
like security is very much essential in handling and managing vital
database infrastructure, much as to unlock it via internet and be viewed
by not only a few but the entire internet surfer around the world.
Different scheme and approaches must be done in order to secure data
and information and free it from suspicious threats, viruses, and
hackers. Much as the sharing and uploading of file using this medium,
will entail bunches of security procedures.
The world wide web (Web, for short), is a distributed information
system based on hypertext. Web interfaces to databases have become
very important. After outlining several reasons for interfacing databases
with the Web, we provide an overview of Web technology. The Web has
become important as a front end to databases for several reasons: Web
browsers provide a universal front end to information supplied by back
ends located anywhere in the world. The front end can run on any
computer system, and there is no need for a user to download any

special-purpose software to access information. Further, today, almost
everyone who can afford it has access to the Web.6 This research will
create the companys Website of Divine Word College of Legazpi, and will
handle some information and data dissemination to concerned individual
in and out of the school premises and will serve as promotional media
with the use internet.
Dynamic sites are those sites where the content and design live
separately. The content lives in a database that is placed on a webpage
only when needed or asked. The benefit of this is that it allows for
quicker page loading and it allows just about anyone, with limited or no
web design experience, to update their own website via an administrative
backend. This set-up is ideal for those who wish to make frequent
changes to their websites including text and image updates. Dynamic
sites are also great for image galleries, online calendars or e-commerce,
etc.7
One of the features of this proposed system is the interaction
between the user and the system. The President has the right and
privilege to edit and the presidents corner without touching the source
code of the program, even if he has no knowledge on HTML and PHP or
ASP. General users can post their messages and insights via online
forum.

Vanessa V. Luna et. al. on their study The Online Information
System of Guidance and Testing Center of Divine Word College of
Legazpi stated that their system will help the researchers on how to
provide an accurate, integrated, concise, complete and relevant on-line
information system. Through this study the researchers were able to
learn how to eliminate or lessen all possible errors from a previous
manual system. The study started by conducting interviews with the
college, high school, and grade school departments. Then the design of
the database that was patterned to the school main web page is made.
The page contains organizational chart of all the Guidance Office staff,
student profiles, adding and viewing test results, news about the
Guidance office, and comments from the students. The data concerning
the students profiles and comments from the students could only be
viewed by the personnel within the office.8
Going online is something that is very familiar by now, a lot of
office, business and banking and even school transaction are done using
online technology. Application of these new tools in different form will do
a greater help in speeding up the long process of daily manual
transaction. That is why the Office of the Guidance and Testing Center
of Divine Word College of Legazpi adapt such technological development.
This system aided them to do things more fast and accurate, effective
and efficient. Similarly Divine Word College of Legazpi website will aid
-

every concerned individual to learn and acquire more information by just
surfing and visiting to it.
The study concentrates on preparing and posting the entrance
examination results in College, High School and Grade School
Departments. It features the following services, namely Add and View
Student Information, Add and View Comments and Add and View Test
Results. Student Information, Add and View Comments and Add and
View Test Results. Students and Professional will be able to view the
mission, vision and historical background of Divine Word College as a
whole. Each department contains information that describes and
explains the detail of duties and responsibilities of employees as well as
its related purposes.9
DWCL HS Student Information System provided the researchers
ideas on how to organize the data that are being gathered through
manual system. Applying this new system will accomplish a lot to their
office work and make the latter an office of quality service.
When someone speaks of information today, an automation system
is implied. Divine Word College of Legazpi Student Affairs Information
System is developed to meet some encountered problems in data
processing such as profiling of student personal data, monitoring the
attendance, recording of tardiness and recording the violations incurred
by each student activities in each organization, recording, saving,
retrieving and generating reports daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or
-

23
yearly. It includes the vital procedures such as file handling and
processing reports.10
Though this proposed system is not capable of generating reports
on daily or monthly bases, monitory the attendance, recording violation
etc, one thing is for sure it will definitely serve as source of information
about Divine Word College of Legazpi.
FOREIGN STUDIES
The PIHnet online forum allows member teachers to apportion
resources, critique activities and discuss successes and challenges of
carrying out PBHI units. An online survey was conducted to investigate
teachers' experiences with the forum. It is aimed to improved the
collaboration and discussion tools available within the forum. Based on
the findings, they redesigned the PIHnet forum and developed a new
journal tool. The findings of the study of possible usability issues, the
principle for the development of the journal tool, and the decisions on the
interface design and embedded features are introduced.11
The diversity of global Internet audiences and the need of customer
retention require active Websites, which expose themselves in a
customized or personalized way, and which are called user-adapted
Websites. Kohrs and Merialdo in their book, Creating user-adapted
Websites by the use of collaborative filtering states that information
filtering can be used for the discovery of important content and is thus a
-
8/4/2019 Table of Contents Test
24/45
24
key technology for the creation of user-adapted Websites. They also
examine the application of collaborative filtering for user-adapted
Websites. They study the techniques for combining and integrating
content-based filtering with collaborative filtering in order to address
typical problems in collaborative filtering systems and to improve
performance. Briefly discusses user interface challenges. Develops a
prototype user-adapted Website, the Active Web-Museum, a museum
Website which exposes its collection in a personalized way by use of
collaborative filtering.12
In recent years, information and communication technologies
(ICTs), particularly web-based technologies, have created a more complex
and challenging information technology (IT) environment for governments
throughout the world. As more and more activities are migrating from
physical to virtual media, users and employees have been faced with
relentless pressure to use technology. This calls for a greater
understanding of the human, social and cultural issues involved in the
acceptance of IT systems by all stakeholders of the organization. Indeed
increasingly it has been acknowledged that one of the main determinants
of IT success is organizational culture, and consequently the purpose of
this research is to examine cultural barriers and enablers which have
impeded or facilitated the implementation of E-Government initiatives in
Malaysia.13

Countless business uses have already emerged, including
gathering information, collaborating with strategic partners, creating
internal efficiencies, controlling inventories, providing customer support
and information, researching competitors, providing support and data to
key vendor, advertising and marketing, publishing information, selling
products and services, and buying products and services. These last two
categories, typically referred to as business-to-business (B2B) electronic
commerce, will increase dramatically as computer security, consumer-
comfort levels and encryption-software capabilities improve over the next
five to ten years and the vertical industry marketplaces truly become a
reality.14
Online forum will enhance and collect different ideas from its users
for a special topic or opinion, and then soon will settle into a reasonable
conclusion. This particular conversation under DWCL Website Online
Forum will serve as a source of information needed by the future surfer
and visitor of the later.
With the vast competition in business these days, advertising is
the most important factor that will lead to your advantage against others.
This study has showed the researchers the importance of developing a
website, furthermore it made them realize the weight of creating an
interactive website, which will bring and promote Divine Word College of
Legazpi to the world. Like any other company this entity too wants to
bring its name in aid of technology and the World Wide Web.
