DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN AUTOMATED COLLEGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING MODERN TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

Automation of the educational process is a relevant task in modern secondary vocational education. Increasing workloads on teaching and administrative staff make the implementation of specialized information systems critical for improving the efficiency of college management. The aim of this study is to develop an Automated College Management System (ACMS), taking into account the specifics of secondary vocational education, featuring a modular architecture, role-based access control, and modern UX/UI design. The study involved the analysis of existing management systems (Platonus, BilimAl, Kundelik, “Univer” System) and popular social platforms (VK, Facebook) to identify optimal interface solutions. A database was designed in the third normal form (3NF) to ensure data integrity, scalability, and performance. Interface and visual design prototypes were developed, and both Front-end and Back-end were implemented using ASP.NET. The system was tested with students, teachers, and administrators. Results showed that implementing ACMS optimizes management processes, reduces time spent on administrative tasks, and improves usability and educational quality. The developed system features a flexible modular architecture, role-based access, modern UX/UI interface, and customization options for specific institutions. Developing a specialized ACMS confirms the hypothesis that college management automation improves staff efficiency and educational quality. The study has practical and theoretical significance and paves the way for the integration of modern IT technologies in secondary vocational education.
