Currently a debate ensues over which design methods can achieve a simultaneous enhancement of casual user skill effectiveness as well as providing a suitable tool for more sophisticated users of information management systems. In this research, a classroom managerial system was designed to achieve the goal of functioning successfully for a hierarchy of user skills and needs. For the design of the system, a formalized query language was used to enhance casual user effectiveness while a relational data base structure provided the capability for more advanced query structures. In an operational test, the system functioned for a self-paced mathematics course at San Diego State University with favorable initial reactions.
