This paper addresses the experiences in the process of acquiring requirement, creating the design through rapid prototyping, implementing the solution, and the evaluation and testing of that solution in read/write Web 2.0 environment. A unique feature in PuTRAS is to allow staff to provide and monitor their own records, which later are validated by authorized users of the system. This feature of PuTRAS has significantly simplified the conventional record keeping process and ensured that important records of the staff are authentic. A simple questionnaire was used to collect feedback from various users and the analysis shows a very positive result on user satisfaction towards the usage of the system. Lastly, this paper will share some pre-post experience of PuTRAS implementation. Awards won by this project are also listed at the end of this paper. %K Architectures for educational technology system %K Human-computer interface %U http://www.jscse.com/papers/?vol=2&no=3&n=2
