Description
Summary:Academic performance monitoring is traditionally based on feedback approach. A disadvantage of this approach is that any remedial action would be too late to be implemented. Given that higher education institutions are striving towards achieving graduate on time objectives, an innovative feed fonvard approach is highly needed. Undergraduate Progress Reporting System (UPReS) is an innovative monitoring and reporting system to monitor academic performance among undergraduate students using electronic spreadsheet. UPReS enables users to forecast academic performance and to identify under-performing students which allows for early inten1ention programs to be implemented. Using qualitative methodology, this research found that UPReS is able to overcome the limitations of current academic progress monitoring system and offers benefits to students, lecturers and higher education institutions. Keywords: Innovative, feedfonvard, academic progress, electronic spreadsheet, progress monitoring.
