Optimisation of Student Information System for Mobile Devices

This research study optimises student information system for mobile devices using Student Academic Registration Information System(SARIS) as a case study. The study specifically optimises SARIS to improve user experience, page loading speed, portability, and search for mobile devices. Optimisation of SARIS for mobile users' convenience, together with an increasing trend for offering specific content for mobile devices were the main reasons for optimisation of SARIS. The optimised SARIS was evaluated to determine the extent it was efficient for mobile devices. The study was conducted at Tumaini University Makumira (TUMA), in Arusha, Tanzania. The study used qualitative and quantitative methods for data collection and analysis. The results show that optimisation of information system for mobile devices improves page loading speed, user experience, portability, and searching capabilities on these small devices. It is recommended that a future research could be conducted in other information systems.
