Perancangan Dan Usability Evaluation Prototipe Informasi Akademik Menggunakan Metode Rapid Application Development

The objectives of this study are to develop and evaluate an Academic Information System Based on RAD that has a real academic database, thus facilitating the academic part in managing values according to the existing system and can produce accurate and quality information to support the process of implementing education. Academic Information System Using Rad (Rapid Application Development) developed with the RAD (Rapid Application Development) method, RAD is a method of developing information systems that require a relatively short time. In the development of a normal information system, it usually requires a minimum of 60 days, but by using the RAD method, the system can be completed within 30-60 days. The main purpose of using the RAD method is to provide a system that can meet the expectations and needs of the user. Design and Usability Evaluation of the Academic Information System Prototype Using the RAD Method will use a database server system concept that has a Multitier architecture consisting of Interface, Database Server and Logic Server, so it is very helpful in developing the next system if there is a change in regulation or rules at the Computer Science Academy (AIKOM) Ternate.
