Abstract:
This report describes the chronological steps involved in the creation of a desktop tutor for
lower primary from the idea creation to the implementation and testing.
This project originated from an idea I obtained having analysed many children in lower primary
forgetting what they were being taught at school during holidays in the teachers’ absence. And
also the difficulty and costs involved in keeping lower primary children engaged in the
teachers’ absence for example hiring tutors and use of charts that are monotonous and offer
little academic content.
I then embarked on a number of activities that ranged from problem identification, problem
modelling, system analysis, researching, design and development, documentation, and
management among many others. To some extent, those steps were achieved through collection
of related data inform of electronic articles, electronic and non-electronic books plus papers;
this was done while keeping a full citation of their index. Consultations from technical and
non-technical people were made; the technical people included the supervisors. Alterations or
modification to favour the wellbeing of the project were regular and positive changes were made
where necessary and possible.
The final stage of this work was the implementation, testing and validation. This project was
developed slowly with research from previous documentations various sites for very complex
sessions of development.
