DEVELOPMENT OF AN ONLINE COURSE PORTAL FOR A CAMPUS
ABSTRACT:-
This project aims at creating a Courses portal for a campus/organization. This allows
registered users of the system to join a course available in the site and access the materials
published for the course. People can register themselves as students of a course or Faculty for a
course. When a person registers himself as a Faculty, an approval mechanism should be triggered
which sends an email to the Administrator for approving the person as a Faculty. There will be
an admin approval page where admin can approve the faculty members for the course. The
course home page should contain the title of the course and a brief description. There will be a
discussion board for each course where students can interact, an announcement section, which
contains the latest announcements, and a course content section which gives the links for the
material available for the course. For faculty members there will be an extra link for uploading
the course content in a zip file format. The course content should be html pages , which should
be uploaded in the zip file format. There should be a mechanism for the faculty members to
create a test for the course specifying the test title and a set of multiple-choice questions and
duration of time of the test.
