We developed a prototype m-Voting system using WML (Wireless Markup Language) PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) with MySQL Server as the database server and tested using the mobile explorer emulator (Openwave V7 Simulator). This study equally considers the possibilities of integrating M-voting to the existing platforms for wider acceptability and patronage. Therefore, this study investigates the prospects of M-voting as a panacea for enhanced participation and convenience of voters using Nigeria as a case study.
Thus, it can be considered a good candidate for voting platform the world over. and the developing countries with its penetration more than all other electronic devices put together. The mobile devices have been the most adopted means of communication both in the developed. The electronic method, though highly promising is not completely free of irregularities.
The existing manual voting system has been subjected to gross abuse and irregularities. Each of these techniques had attendant short comings. Majority of voting techniques have been employed over the years in elections. The combination of Hypertext Mark-up Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheet (CSS), and Hypertext Pre-processor (PHP) and MySQL relational database management system is deemed effective in the development of a Multiple Choice Test Randomizer. The existing testing administration is manual. Moreover, students prefer multiple choice type of test especially when the assessment period is limited. The study concludes that the students prefer computer-aided test as the delivery method of assessment. The Multiple Choice Test (MCT) software was evaluated usable. HTML and CSS were used for GUI while PHP and MySQL for storing data. Test papers were physically distributed by the professors to students. 45.14 of the responses were multiple choice, 22.29% were true or false, 17.14% were essay 14.86% were matching type and. responses were computer aided, 43.43% were paper and pencil, 4.5% were board work and 1.4% was others. A standardized research survey questionnaire was used. It employed the descriptive and applied methods of research. CAA makes possible a detailed analysis of test results with minimal effort. Computer Aided Assessment (CAA) has been deployed in higher education to administer examinations in which the responses are electronically recorded, assessed, or both.
