Introduction

The main objective of the online course portal project is to develop a courses portal for a campus or organization. The registered users of this system can join to a course available in the site and they can access the materials published for the course. A person can register to the system as a Faculty for course or he can register as student of a course. When a person registers himself as a Faculty, an approval mechanism will send an email to the Administrator for approving the person as a Faculty. This online course portal contains admin approval page. In this page, the admin can approve the faculty members for the course. There will be a Course Portal home page. This page contains a registration link as well as a login screen.

Description

The course home page has the title of the course and a brief description about course. This portal contains an announcement section, which contains the latest announcements. A course content section will give the links for the material available for the course. Also there is a discussion board for each course. Here, the students can discuss among themselves. This portal contains an extra link for the faculty members, where they can upload the course contents in a zip file format. The faculty members can create a test for the course specifying the test title and a set of multiple-choice questions and duration of time of the test. The course content should be html pages and they should be uploaded in the zip file format.
