The Academic Resource Management System (ARMS) is a transformative project designed to address the academic needs of computer science students at the University of Benin. Traditional methods of accessing academic resources, such as physical handouts, scattered online materials, and limited interactive tools, have proven to be inefficient and inadequate for modern learning demands. This project emphasizes the need for a centralized, technology-driven platform that consolidates academic resources and enhances the learning experience through automation and interactivity. This project proposes an Online Academic Resource Management System, a centralized platform providing students with access to diverse learning materials, such as video tutorials, lecture notes, and Pdfs. To enhance learning, the system integrates interactive elements like quizzes, encouraging active participation and promoting knowledge retention. The system features a user-friendly interface, offering students flexibility and convenience. This project focuses on the design and implementation of the ARMS platform, enabling students to register, access resources, and engage with interactive tools seamlessly. The system employs an object-oriented approach to system analysis and design, utilizing Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD), use case diagrams, class diagrams, and state machine diagrams to outline the system's architecture. These designs serve as the foundation for developing a robust platform capable of handling resource management and user interaction. The Academic Resource Management System (ARMS) aims to improve the connection between teaching and learning by automating the distribution of academic materials and incorporating interactive learning tools, thereby empowering students to actively manage their own learning. This system supports the University of Benin's commitment to integrating technology into education, fostering digital literacy and innovation. Beyond addressing current challenges in academic resource management, this project offers a scalable model for other departments and institutions, showcasing the potential of technology-enhanced learning in higher education.
