Software engineering/Database engineering: Web-based administration product
for schools.

Title:

Web Based Interface for School Scheduling/Grading Administration and Student/Teacher Educational Integration

Objective:

This project is intended to create an all in one system for school/educational 
organization use for scheduling (school/teacher), grading (teacher/school), 
and online educational integration (teacher/student).

Justification:

The integration of a school in terms of applications needed to operate a 
school efficiently is loose in the sense of cooperation between each core. 
Through a centralized system, all of the core functions that keep a school 
operational can be integrated together to keep information up-to-date and 
correctly synchronized.

Description:

This project will mostly be coded in the PHP web scripting language, utilizing 
the Apache HTTP web server, the MySQL database server, and standardized 
through W3C standards for XHTML code. Through a modularized system, the 
core of the system can be built on through a developed API.

Users are separated through a built in core access control system to allow 
teachers access to grading systems and educational integration, students 
access to educational integration set by their teachers, and administrators 
access to the scheduling system and grade access.

A one line summary of this project is that it is an web based integrated 
SASI (schedule and grading), Blackboard (educational integration), and 
possible functions from the Intranet (directory, file access, etc).
Limitations:

Some limitations include the feasibility of processing through a scripting 
language designed for web applications, such as constraint satisfaction 
processing. Other limitations could include time because of the large 
integration needed between many functions.
