1.0 INTRODUCTION
Information Technology has revolutionized the way we go about doing our daily activities. The web for instance has revolutionized the way information can be accessed thereby making the world a global village.
The impact of information technology has grown to the level that virtually all domains of life now has everything in Electronic. Now we have E-Commerce, E-Examination, E-Voting, E-Registration. The availability and deployment of all of these is made possible with the use of the Internet (the biggest of all the Computer networks), a local area network (intranet) for deploying E-Solutions within a restricted locality e.g. an office, telephone lines (using radio wave as its medium).
Of interest also is the advent of information technology enabled devices such as the handsets, the PDAs and tablets that is used with the aforementioned web technology which makes the paradigm of information storage, access and retrieval to be mobile.
The Internet is a wide area network consisting of over five hundred million hosts that can be accessed via a workstation that is connected to its service. It serves as a medium of connection between millions of peoples, airlines, organizations, military, educational institutions and government in the most remote of areas all over the world. It serves as an electronic transmission medium to engage in exchanging of information, also aiding transportation (digitally) from location to location connecting users online. Also, the internet is a very good platform for advertisement and awareness of any product.
Information is obviously the most prominent function of the internet. The internet has grown from its inception into a giant warehouse of information, providing millions of people access to any information required by just a click of a button. It exposes one to a wide range of information resources, thereby posing as a giant database stacked with information.
Due to the universal access of the internet, student tutorials and learning activitites can be processed over the web.
The project work which is focused on modeling and designing an Online Tutorial System through the Web. For the benefits of the students in the university; the online tutorial will include registration of students like their personal information and also made available video and audio type document for downloads, realtime communication between students and tutors.

Project Goals and Themes
This project aims to transition from a manual tutorial management process to a digital, automated Online Tutorial System. The research focuses on streamlining student registration, class management, and lecture delivery through a secure web-based platform to enhance efficiency and data accessibility.
- Development of a web-based student registration and tutorial management system.
- Implementation of a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) for secure data storage.
- Design of user-friendly interfaces (GUI) for both students and administrators.
- Integration of real-time communication tools for improved interaction between tutors and students.
Excerpt from the Book
3.1 SYSTEM DESIGN
The system design is a process whereby definite specifications of a system are produced based on the analysis of the system. The primary aim of this project is to develop an efficient and effective Online Tutorial System to ensure accurate and fast rate of data processing to yield quick response as well as safe and secure documentation and ato also ensure proper delivery of lectures. The design of this project is structured into the following modules or units:
• Output Design
• Input Design
• Form Design
• File Design
• Process Design
