1. INTRODUCTION

VCS (Virtual Classroom System) aims to promote a greater count of students to splurge into the

field of Education. It integrates the benefits of a physical classroom with the convenience of a ‘no-

physical-bar’ virtual learning environment, minus the commuting hazards and expenses. It will usher

in the immense flexibility and sophistication in the existing learning platform structures, with the

perfect blend of synchronous and asynchronous interaction. It provides a means of collaborative

learning for the students.

2. PROJECT OVERVIEW 1

2.1 Project Scope

This project mainly focuses on the design of Virtual Classroom System.

Students can choose courses, attend lectures, take exams, view their attendance records,

progress reports etc as per their convenience.

Attend lectures either at the scheduled time or on request view lecture at a later time. Faculties can take lectures, upload assignments, announcements, evaluate answer sheets

and also can upload lectures and other discussions in various formats as in videos, power point presentation etc.

Upload and Download of various assignments, college notices, student's notices, journals, videos.

Real Time collaboration among Users via Chat Rooms, shared and interactive Whiteboards. Asynchronous communication in the form of Emails, discussion boards that enable

communication to occur at "convenient-times" that suit student schedules and are not accessed at simultaneous or prearranged times.

There can be Forums, Blogs etc to discuss various queries and to put up suggestions posted both by students and teachers.

Administrator can generate reports, log files, backup/recovery of data at any time. Shared documents and media library that can help in active learning of a student. One-to-Many, Many-to-One and Many-to-Many information sharing. Availability of Voice Mail Box to allow faculties to get the descriptive messages left by the

students. Provision of resources to arouse the interest of students in extracurricular activities like public

speaking etc and to grasp the chance to enhance their personalities. Students can take up various quizzes which can help them to realize their inbuilt talents in

various fields.

3.4 Process Model

We are using iterative life cycle model that does not attempt to start with full specification of requirement.

Instead development begins by specifying and implementing just part of the software, which can then be

reviewed in order to identify other requirements. This process is then repeated producing new version of

software for each cycle of the model.

Hence the suitable process model for this system is
