Project Abstract

ABSTRACT

The study examined the extent of availability and utilization of web-based tools in Nigerian Universities. A descriptive cross section survey research design was used for the study. Nine research questions were posed and six hypotheses formulated to guide the study. The population of the study consists of 35,680 lecturers and students in federal, state, and private universities in the study area. The sample is 395 lecturers and students, a proportionate stratified sampling technique was used to group the respondents into departments after which simple random sampling was used to draw the sample from the strata. The instruments for data collection were a checklist and questionnaires which were validated and internal consistency reliability coefficients determined using cronbach alpha technique; Data were analyzed using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 2.0. Percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while ANOVA was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. It was found that Web-based tools are more available for effective delivery of instruction in State and Private Universities than Federal Universities in Nigerian; resources such as internet services, web-based learning software, personal laptops, scanners, smart boards, on-line library are available to a high extent. There was a significant difference in the mean ratings of lecturers and students in federal, state, and private universities on the extent of availability of resources that aid web-based tools for effective delivery of instruction. There is a high extent of utilization of web-based tools for effective delivery of instruction by lecturers and students in State and Private Universities in Nigerian. Female lecturers utilize web-based tools more than their counterparts in Nigerian Universities, both male and students utilize web-based tools to a less extent in content accessibility. Major implications of the findings are; there is a less extent in the use of web-based tools in e-assessment of students by lecturers in Nigerian Universities, that there is a less extent to which students utilize web-based tools in content accessibility. Based on these findings and implications, it was recommended that universities should include web-based learning in their teaching programmes and source grants to promote the use of web instruction at all levels, all university lecturers must as a matter of compulsion be made to acquire ICT skills, Courses on application of web-based tools for teaching and learning should be mounted in all faculties and departments to produce specialists that will man the units established for providing web-based support services in our universities.


Project Overview


1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY


A courier service is an organization which offers special deliveries of packages,
money, documents or information. Courier services usually boast faster delivery
times than any alternative method of transporting documents, and many services
in the modern world rely on it. The idea of couriers and a courier service has
been around almost as long as civilization, with rulers in antiquity using
couriers as a means to make new laws and edicts known throughout their lands.
In the modern age of international business, the courier service has become a
keystone of enterprise, even as emerging technologies such as the fax machine
and Internet have rendered them less useful in some areas.
The largest courier service in the world is the United Parcel Service (UPS),
which delivers more than 12 million packages globally each day. UPS had its
roots as a courier service in the beginning of the 20th century, when it was
known as the American Messenger Company. UPS survived the depression and
the World Wars, and went on to thrive in the global age. Throughout the years it
acquired other courier services, including the Motorcycle Messengers and a
number of smaller European companies. Federal Express (FedEx) and Dalsey
Hillblom Lynn, now Deutsche post AG (DHL) are other well-known global
examples of the courier service, both with their roots in the early 1970s. Though
not nearly as large as UPS, each company controls sizable portions of the market. FedEx is particularly well-respected for its overnight courier service,
the first of its kind. DHL originally focused exclusively on the route between
Honolulu and San Francisco in the United States, but grew to encompass the
Pacific Rim and spread to Europe and the Middle East.
Smaller courier services abound, particularly in cities. This type of courier
service finds its niche in smaller packages and documents which need to be
transported from one location in a city to another as quickly as possible.
Couriers in these companies often ride bicycles or motorcycles in order to
achieve the shortest turnaround times from pickup to delivery. Indeed, the
bicycle messenger, whizzing through crowded traffic at unbelievable speeds
with a satchel over one shoulder, has become a symbol of the youthful
daredevilry of city life. In recent years, with the emergence of more
sophisticated communications technologies and harsh price competitiveness, the
number of bicycle couriers in most cities has decreased significantly, but the
market remains strong for those who continue to work.
There is also a type of courier service which utilizes the extra baggage allotment
of airline passengers to transport documents quickly and easily, with less hassle,
through the Customs office of a country. These courier services offer greatly
discounted fares on commercial tickets to foreign locations in exchange for the
use of the passenger's baggage space. The passenger is then given all the
requisite paperwork, which they simply deliver to the Customs agent at the
receiving end. Though technology has replaced many traditional uses of the courier service, there still exists a constant need to transport physical goods and documents over both short and long distances as quickly as possible.


1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS

Keeping record of parcels in a courier service company and their delivery
information is carried out manually. A lot of files are opened for daily record of
parcels received or delivered. This litters the office with much paper
documents. Most often records are misplaced and when a client comes to
collect his parcel, he\she spend some hours waiting for confirmation of the
parcel. Hence delay is bound to occur while delivering parcel to customers.
Also, customers must visit the post office before they can purchase stamps or
any other item.


1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The objectives of this project are as follows.

ยท Analyzing global trends in e-commerce and why it is important for
economic developments.

ยท Identifying benefits of the adoption of e-post management system by
courier Service Company.

ยท Developing an e-post platform that can be used by customers to order for
post office items and make payment online.

 

1.4 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

The scope of this project covers all details of a typical e-post application, with
emphasis on the front-end portal but excludes the gateway application
implementations and technologies. The gateway end which is a very secure epayment environment is often times built using SSL protocol, which can be
procured from the gateways companies and integrated to the e-commerce site to
support online, onsite payment management. However we have chosen to
incorporate a demo copy of the gateway end to showcase its activities for the
audience to appreciate such integration.

 

1.5 PROJECT JUSTIFICATION

The advantages of e-commerce for business entities can be summarized thus: ecommerce can increase sales and decrease costs. A firm can use e-commerce to
reach narrow market segments that are widely scattered geographically. The
internet and the web are particularly useful in creating virtual communities that
become ideal target markets. A virtual community is a gathering of people who
share a common interest, but, instead of this gathering occurring in the physical
world; it takes place on the internet. So the e-post management system
developed will assist courier Service Companies to:

1. Increase sales opportunities for the seller, thereby increasing purchasing opportunities for the buyer.

2. Provide buyers with a wider range of choices than traditional commerce, because they can consider many different products and services from a wider variety of sellers.

3. The benefits of e-commerce also extend to the general welfare of
society. Electronic payments for goods cost less to issue and arrive
securely and quickly when transmitted via the Internet.
4. Furthermore, electronic payments can be easier to audit and monitor
than payments made by check, which can help protect against fraud
and theft.

5. E-Commerce platform can make products and services available in
remote areas.
