Abstract

In the context of higher education, the current manual system of allocating labs to students is not only time consuming but is also inefficient and inconvenient. In this paper, we present a web-based lab administration system, ALIAS, which provides a flexible and comprehensive tool to assist e-learning. The tool solves most, if not all, problems related to the administration of lab allocation. It also provides functions that cannot be achieved manually, such as the multiple lab allocation strategies. These strategies make the system flexible and comprehensive. This innovative tool not only enriches student experience through interactive learning but also assists both the student and staff in making the process less time consuming; the end result is higher efficiency and more time for academic learning.
