Abstract
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to create a geospatially-enabled student data management system (SDMS). Although there are many applications available to create SDMS, GIS has some unique features that would make managing student data more convenient. This research gap was identified via stakeholder interaction and systematic literature review where no current geospatially-enabled SDMS was discovered that utilizes GIS technology to accommodate and share the information between multi-stakeholders. As such, this research aims to utilize GIS and visualization tools to design and implement Geospatial SDMS that help different stakeholders, such as scholarship organizations, employers, and students to speed and improve their decision outcomes. The project is based on a case study in Yemen. Using a qualitative assessment method, this system was evaluated in a real-world scenario where different stakeholders were introduced to the system and their feedback was collected via a focus group.
