Research Paper On UniTasker: A Web-Based Role-Oriented Academic Task Management System

With the rapid growth of digital education systems, academic institutions require structured task management solutions to manage assignments, grading, and communication effectively. UniTasker is a lightweight, role-based web application designed for diploma-level institutions. The system enables faculty members to create assignments, set deadlines, review submissions, and assign grades, while students can submit tasks and receive automated reminders. This paper surveys existing Learning Management Systems (LMS) and generic task management tools, analyzes their limitations, and evaluates how UniTasker bridges these gaps through a modular three-tier architecture. The system is developed using JSP, JDBC, MySQL, and Apache Tomcat, ensuring low infrastructure requirements and high usability. Future enhancements include attendance tracking.
