Background of the Study
Internships serve as a crucial bridge between academic learning and practical work experience, making effective tracking and management essential. At Federal College of Education, Kano, Kano Municipal LGA, the implementation of a web‑based internship logbook system is proposed to streamline the documentation and evaluation of internship activities. Traditional internship logbooks are typically paper‑based and manually maintained, leading to inefficiencies, data loss, and difficulties in monitoring student progress. The proposed web‑based system leverages modern web technologies and cloud storage to offer a centralized, digital platform where students can record their internship experiences, supervisors can provide feedback, and administrators can monitor overall performance (Adeyemi, 2023; Chinwe, 2024). The system is designed to support multimedia inputs, real‑time updates, and automated reporting, which together enhance transparency and accountability in the internship process. By providing a secure and accessible interface, the system aims to improve the efficiency of internship management, reduce administrative burdens, and facilitate better alignment between academic requirements and industry practices. Furthermore, the integration of analytics tools enables continuous evaluation of internship outcomes, thereby supporting data‑driven improvements in the program. Despite these advantages, challenges such as ensuring data accuracy, protecting user privacy, and integrating with existing college systems remain. Pilot studies in similar educational settings have demonstrated that digital logbook systems can lead to significant improvements in monitoring and evaluating internship performance. This study aims to assess the design, implementation, and effectiveness of the web‑based internship logbook system, offering recommendations for overcoming technical and operational challenges to support the professional development of students (Okafor, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Federal College of Education currently manages internship documentation through outdated, manual processes that hinder the efficient tracking of student performance and internship outcomes. The traditional paper‑based logbook system is prone to errors, loss of records, and delayed feedback from internship supervisors. These challenges not only affect the overall quality of internship management but also impede the timely evaluation of student progress and the identification of areas requiring improvement. Although a web‑based internship logbook system has the potential to resolve these issues by providing a centralized, digital platform for data entry and monitoring, its implementation is confronted with several obstacles. Key challenges include ensuring seamless integration with existing academic systems, maintaining data security and privacy, and achieving high user adoption among students and supervisors. Additionally, the system must be designed to handle varying formats of input and provide real‑time updates to support effective decision‑making. This study seeks to evaluate the operational efficiency, reliability, and user satisfaction of the proposed digital logbook system. By comparing it with traditional methods, the research will identify the critical barriers to successful implementation and propose strategies to enhance system performance and stakeholder engagement. The ultimate goal is to create a robust, secure, and user‑friendly internship logbook system that improves the management and evaluation of internship activities at the college (Chinwe, 2024).
