Design and implementation of web-based internship information system at vocational school

Abstract

Information technology has been used as a means of communication in vocational schools but its optimal utilization in internship programs is still low. This study aims to design web-based internship information system. The method used to collect quantitative data in this study is the Design Science Research Methods (DSRM), namely research that produces products and services information systems. The research flow starts from requirement analysis, design, implementation and system testing. The system is built using interactive website technology based on four major components namely students, supervisors, industry and coordinators. The web-based internship system contains information features, schedules, signups, daily journals, portfolio reports, final reports, database backup and guidance systems. PHP, Bootstrap, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, MySQL database and Apache web server is a technology used to develop web-based internship information system. The results show that the resulting system can be used as support for the internship program for all parties involved. This system can facilitate students, supervisors and coordinators in the implementation of internship programs.
