ABSTRACT
This research work focused on the development of web based assignment submission and feedback system. The research work was necessary because of the problems of the existing system such as manual method of submitting assignment is not effective, delay in the submission of assignments, missing assignment papers, financial constraint in printing lengthy assignments, poor assignment submission record management. In view of these problems, the objectives of the study are, to develop a web-based system for lecturers to post assignments for submission, to design a system to enable students submit assignment by uploading the document it to the website, to create a system that supports viewing of assignment scores as feedback. The significance of the study is that it will aid early submission of assignments, it will help in solving problem of missing assignments and it will help lecturers to easily manage assignment submission. The software development methodology adopted is the spiral development methodology. The programming technologies used are HTML, CSS, PHP and MYSQL.
