1. Project Objectives
- Attendance Tracking: Record and manage student attendance.
- Reporting: Generate attendance reports and statistics for students, classes, and teachers.
- Notifications: Send alerts and notifications regarding attendance issues.
- User Management: Manage profiles and roles for students, teachers, and administrative staff.
- Integration: Integrate with other school management systems or platforms, if applicable.
2. Functional Requirements
- Attendance Tracking:
- Mark student attendance for each class session.
- Record attendance data (e.g., present, absent, late) and reasons for absence.
- Manage attendance for different types of classes (e.g., lectures, labs).
- Reporting:
- Generate attendance reports for individual students, classes, or time periods.
- Provide summary statistics on attendance patterns (e.g., attendance rates, frequent absences).
- Allow for export of reports in various formats (e.g., PDF, Excel).
- Notifications:
- Send notifications to parents/guardians about student absences.
- Alert teachers about attendance issues (e.g., frequent absences).
- Provide automated reminders for students regarding upcoming classes or attendance issues.
- User Management:
- Create and manage profiles for students, teachers, and administrative staff.
- Define roles and permissions (e.g., who can view or modify attendance data).
- Track user activity and access logs.
- Integration:
- Integrate with existing school management systems or databases, if applicable.
- Support data import/export functionalities for seamless integration.
3. Non-Functional Requirements
- Usability: User-friendly interface for ease of use by teachers, students, and admin staff.
- Performance: Efficient handling of attendance data and report generation.
- Security: Secure handling of sensitive student data and user information.
- Scalability: Ability to handle increasing numbers of students, classes, and users.
- Reliability: High system uptime and robustness to ensure consistent operation.
4. Technology Stack
- Front-End: Technologies for the user interface (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, frameworks like React or Angular).
- Back-End: Server-side technologies (e.g., Node.js, Django, Flask).
- Database: Database management system (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
- Deployment: Hosting and deployment platforms (e.g., AWS, Heroku, local server).
5. System Design
- Architecture: Overview of system architecture (e.g., client-server model, microservices).
- Data Model: Design of the database schema, including tables for students, teachers, classes, and attendance records.
- User Interface Design: Wireframes or mockups for different user roles (e.g., teachers, students, admin staff).
6. Implementation Plan
- Development Phases: Breakdown of phases (e.g., requirement analysis, design, development, testing, deployment).
- Timeline: Project milestones and deadlines.
7. Testing and Validation
- Test Cases: Define test cases for functionalities such as attendance recording, reporting, and notifications.
- Bug Tracking: System for tracking and managing bugs and issues.
- User Testing: Collect feedback from end-users (e.g., teachers, students) to refine the system.
8. Documentation
- User Manual: Instructions for end-users on how to operate the system.
- Technical Documentation: Detailed documentation on system architecture, design decisions, and codebase.
9. Future Enhancements
- Feature Expansion: Potential future features (e.g., integration with biometric systems, mobile app support).
- Additional Modules: Possible additional modules like parent portals, advanced analytics, and academic performance tracking.
10. Limitations
- Scope Limitations: Define what the project will not cover (e.g., integration with external educational platforms, complex biometric authentication).
11. Budget and Resources
- Budget: Estimated costs for development tools, hosting, and other resources.
- Resources: Required hardware and software resources for development and deployment.
