Abstract

The important of any research is to address fundamental problems combating society. Research shows that the average student misplaces one item or the other, during their stay in any institution. Challenges encountered by individual and security bodies to find the lost item tends to rise and becomes more tedious. The lost item can cause depression to the student and finding the identity of the individual when the lost item is found is also challenging. The objective of this study is to develop an online lost item recovery application, that can assist students to easily search the lost items via any internet enabled device, and also the students who help to find the items can help to upload details of the items found via the internet. Thus, it is important to find an approach through the use of information technology to find the solution for issue related to misplace item in higher institutions, which in turn can foster integrity, transparency and good character among students.
