An exam result management system benefits both schools and students by restructuring data storage, analysis, and reporting, reducing workload for teachers and administrators. The researchers developed the Eastern Samar State University Student Application and Exam Results Tracking System to automate student admissions, entrance exam processing, and result management, ensuring efficiency and security. Objectives: The objective of this study is to develop the Eastern Samar State University Student Application and Exam Results Tracking System to automate the storage of student admission data and entrance examination processes. Specifically, it aimed to create an administrator form page to track applicants, manage entrance exam permits, input exam scores, and generate printable forms for applications, permits, and results. Additionally, a student form page was developed to allow applicants to fill out application forms and access exam results. Finally, the system was evaluated using the IBM evaluation tool for end-user testing and ISO 9126 for expert testing. Methods: This study follows the waterfall model, a structured software development approach where each phase must be completed before moving to the next. The researchers began with requirement analysis by conducting interviews with the head of the admission office to gather necessary data. The system was then designed, focusing on the graphical user interface (GUI) and system architecture, followed by development and testing with end-users to ensure functionality. Finally, the system was evaluated using the IBM usability scale for end-users and ISO 9126 for expert testing before deployment. Results: The researchers successfully developed a tracking system for the Eastern Samar State University Borongan Campus Office of Admission Services, meeting all objectives. The system includes an administrator form page for tracking applicants, processing entrance exam permits, inputting raw scores, and generating printable forms, as well as a student form page for application submission and result viewing. Evaluation using the IBM usability survey resulted in a high satisfaction rating of 4.62, while Alpha testing with ISO 9126 yielded a 4.40 overall rating, confirming the system's functionality, reliability, and usability. Conclusions: The developed system effectively updated student admissions and exam result management, meeting all objectives. High ratings from IBM usability testing indicate that the system is user-friendly and efficient, while compliance with ISO 9126 standards ensures software reliability and maintainability. These results confirm that the system is suitable for deployment and can enhance the university's admission process.

Unlike traditional CVs, ePortfolios offer a structured platform for presenting achievements. This study focuses on developing and evaluating a website for the Bachelor of Science in Entertainment and Multimedia Computing (BSEMC) program at Eastern Samar State University (ESSU) Borongan Campus. Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to develop a centralized website for BSEMC students to upload and manage multimedia projects efficiently. Additionally, the platform aims to provide faculty members with tools to oversee grades, fines, class schedules, and project approvals for academic management. Furthermore, the study seeks to evaluate the usability of the system using the System Usability Scale (SUS) to assess its effectiveness and user experience. Methods: The study involved the design and development of a web-based ePortfolio system for the BSEMC program. The platform was tested by students and faculty members, who provided feedback on its functionality and usability. The System Usability Scale (SUS) was used to assess user experience, and the system's performance was analyzed based on user engagement and limitations. Results: The System Usability Scale (SUS) evaluation yielded a score of 75, indicating "GOOD" usability. The platform effectively provides a structured and accessible space for students to manage their projects and for faculty to oversee academic activities. However, the system requires internet access and supports only specific multimedia formats. Additionally, it does not integrate with other university systems or support large-scale multimedia projects. Conclusions: Despite some limitations, the ePortfolio website proves to be a valuable academic tool, enhancing student learning and professional development. By serving as a structured and accessible portfolio system, it benefits both students and faculty in managing academic projects and records efficiently.

Methods and Statistical Tools: The researcher followed the iterative development model as its primary framework in the development of the application. The researcher utilized the IBM computer usability scale as its primary usability evaluation tool. Findings: The researcher was able to successfully develop the application and was able to read Wi-Fi signals from nearby devices. Applications/Improvements: The application can be utilized by search and rescue officials to locate possible victims on a collapsed building after an earthquake by determining the location of the Wi-Fi signal being read the application.

The software can be a repository of student grades in different classroom activities specifically quizzes, major exams, class participation and major exams. Another feature of the software is it is capable of computing student final grades and send the result to a mobile phone number registered in the system for each student. Also, the software is capable for retrieving, editing and deleting stored data and can store new data. The software was developed to lessen the time consumed by the ESSU teachers in computing the student’s rating in the quizzes, activities, laboratories and final grades. In the entire development of the project, the researcher used extreme programming as the software development tool and the client-server as the System Architectural S...

Improve water sustainability using automated water control systems and 2. Determine exact water requirement to irrigate on fine, medium and coarse soil type using drip irrigation technique. Methods: To work effectively with the Wireless Irrigation System, a sensor module was developed to sense out the soil humidity and water content of the soil. The system is designed using drip irrigation technique as a model for testing irrigation control. It will focus on three soil types which include fine, medium and coarse in determining the need of soil humidity level in the system. The developed technology was compared to the existing irrigation control system in terms of speed of irrigation and amount of water used in the irrigation procedure. Findings : In the existing irrigation system, continuous distribution of water to farmlands takes place. The water sustainability was not controlled. The proposed irrigation control system analyzes the soil humidity level of the farmland, and only applies irrigation when a specific soil which needs irrigation based on humidity level; when the soil humidity is below normal, the reservoir will release water to plants. After a series of testing and comparing of the two-irrigation control system during testing, it is proven that the developed irrigation control system can be used to improve water sustainability in irrigation. An average of 52.777777775% of water from the reservoir was saved using the automatic irrigation control system. Novelty: The proposed system was used as a prototype material or model in testing lowland areas for a bigger wireless irrigation control system that can be used in automation of irrigating farmlands through drip irrigation technique. The developed system was tested in a farm land miniature where soil types are in different stations. The developed system can reduce the use of water in irrigation.
