Feedback: Provide feedback to students on their performance.
Security and Integrity:
Authentication: Secure login and authentication for students and instructors.
Anti-Cheating Measures: Implement measures to prevent cheating, such as randomized questions or proctoring features.
Reporting and Analytics:
Exam Reports: Generate reports on exam performance, including scores, pass rates, and average grades.
Analytics: Provide insights into question difficulty, student performance, and trends.
User Management:
Roles and Permissions: Define roles (e.g., admin, instructor, student) with specific permissions and access levels.
Account Management: Manage user accounts, including registration, updates, and deactivation.
3. Technical Scope
Technology Stack: Choose appropriate technologies for development, such as programming languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript), frameworks (e.g., Django, React), and databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL).
Platform: Web-based application with potential for mobile compatibility.
4. Design Considerations
User Interface (UI): Develop a clean, intuitive, and responsive UI for exam creation, taking, and management.
User Experience (UX): Ensure the system is accessible and easy to navigate for students, instructors, and administrators.
5. Project Deliverables
Prototype: A working model demonstrating core functionalities like exam creation, student access, and grading.
Documentation: Comprehensive user manuals, technical documentation, and a final project report.
Presentation: A presentation to showcase the system’s features, capabilities, and benefits.
6. Timeline and Milestones
Planning and Research: Conduct initial research, gather requirements, and plan the project.
Design Phase: Create UI/UX designs and define system architecture.
Development Phase: Implement core features, integrate components, and conduct unit testing.
Testing Phase: Perform thorough testing, including user testing, bug fixing, and quality assurance.
Deployment and Review: Deploy the system, review project outcomes, and gather feedback.
7. Exclusions
Advanced Features: Consider excluding advanced features such as AI-driven question generation or advanced proctoring unless they are crucial.
Integration with External Systems: Focus on core functionalities first; integration with third-party systems or LMS (Learning Management Systems) can be considered for future phases.
8. Constraints and Assumptions
Budget Constraints: Adhere to any budget limitations for tools, technologies, and resources.
Time Constraints: Complete the project within the academic timeframe.
Technical Constraints: Use technologies and tools that are feasible within the project’s scope and team expertise.
