E-Logbook System for Postgraduate Research Students (ESPRES) / Muhammad Arif Haikal Samed

The E-Logbook System for Postgraduate Research Students (ESPRES) is a digital platform designed to streamline and improve the process of recording and reporting meetings between postgraduate research students and their supervisors. The current manual process of using Microsoft Word to record these meetings is prone to problems such as loss of records, leading to the need to recreate the logbook and re-record meetings. ESPRES aims to resolve these issues by providing a secure, organized and efficient method of recording and reporting meetings. By utilizing ESPRES, postgraduate research students will have a centralized platform to record and store their meeting details, reducing the risk of losing records and improving the overall process of monitoring and evaluation by the postgraduate studies management. ESPRES was developed using the Adapted Waterfall Model where six stages were included which are planning, requirement analysis, design, development, testing and documentation. Besides, the eight golden rules of interface design is used as the theory for this project. It has been the guideline to develop this system. The system has passed all the requirements in the test plan. Evaluations from two experts from lecturers at UiTM Kuala Terengganu have been used in evaluating the system, and all feedback has been considered. ESPRES has obtained encouraging results from the evaluation results and has passed all user and system requirements. In the future, many enhancements can be made, such as adding a grading system with color coding and a chat box to improve the E-Book Log System for Graduate Research Students.
