Abstract

Globalization and
technological development are radically changing the landscape of higher
education. Students increasingly expect to choose what they learn, how they
learn and when they learn, according to their individual needs and interests.
Computer applications in education system introduce unique technical,
managerial and most importantly pedagogical issues. Using business discovery
platform QlikView, application developed in this research, should be beneficial
to both, students and professors at the university. The relation database model
is based on data collected from student admission service of Faculty of
Organizational Science, University of Belgrade. Application allows students to
analyze current study success, but also to predict future performance success.
In addition, students can use developed application as an advisor system, which
can be useful in helping student plan for the upcoming semesters and also to be
able to answer any questions that the student may have regarding his/her academic
standing.
