This research examined the extent of A Quasi-Experimental Study on the Effect of Informatics in Teaching and Learning in Universities in Edo State, with particular emphasis on differences across federal, state, and private institutions. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design and was guided by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Data were collected from 345 lecturers and students using a structured questionnaire designed around key constructs such as ICT infrastructure availability, utilization, digital competency, and perceived challenges. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), correlation, and regression analysis using SPSS. Findings revealed that ICT infrastructure and utilization levels were generally high, with private universities demonstrating significantly higher adoption compared to public institutions. Gender did not significantly influence ICT utilization, while institutional type and academic role (lecturer or student) were significant determinants. Regression results further confirmed that ICT utilization positively and significantly enhances teaching and learning effectiveness. The study concludes that institutional readiness, infrastructural support, and digital competency are critical to effective ICT integration in higher education. It recommends increased investment in ICT infrastructure, continuous capacity building, and supportive institutional policies to enhance technology driven teaching and learning.

In most educational institutions, the process of taking student attendance is often done manually, which makes it time-consuming, error-prone, and susceptible to manipulation. This project focuses on the design and implementation of a web-based attendance management system that uses QR (Quick Response) codes to automate the attendance process. The system enables lecturers to generate a unique, time-limited QR code for each class session, while students scan the code through a web interface to mark their attendance. The backend is built using Node.js and Express.js, with a local JSON file (data.json) serving as the data storage layer using the Node.js fs module. The frontend utilizes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for interaction and visualization. The system’s design emphasizes simplicity, real-time verification, and accessibility through any modern browser. Testing showed that the system minimizes human error, improves accuracy, and enhances the efficiency of attendance record management. The developed prototype provides a practical, secure, and user-friendly solution for both lecturers and students.

The Mechanic Booking Website is an online platform aimed at linking vehicle owners with qualified mechanics, facilitating easy appointment scheduling and service management. Conventional methods for securing mechanic services typically involve in person visits or phone calls, resulting in inefficiencies, delays, and inconvenience. This project seeks to address that issue by offering a user-friendly digital solution that enables customers to book mechanic services through the internet, review service history, and receive emergency roadside assistance. The system is tailored for two primary users: customers and mechanics. Customers have the ability to register, search for nearby mechanics, schedule appointments, and leave feedback based on their experiences. Conversely, mechanics can handle bookings, update their service availability, and
respond to customer inquiries.
The system allows users to seek out mechanics, arrange appointments, review service histories, and process payments online from the convenience of their homes. Additionally, it features a review and rating mechanism, enabling customers to evaluate
the quality of services provided by various mechanics. The platform is constructed utilizing web technologies, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL for backend operations, thereby ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience.
In summary, this initiative plays a pivotal role in advancing the digital transformation of the automotive service sector by establishing a dependable and user-friendly online platform for vehicle repairs. Plans for future enhancements may encompass the integration of mobile applications, AI-driven service suggestions, and automated reminders for maintenance, allaimed at further refining the user experience.
