DEDICATED PORTAL FOR SCHOOL/COLLEGE

With the advancement of technology, students and parents are also advancing by participating more actively in accessing information about what they are being taught and how. This advancement compels educational institutes to keep their learning process updated with the latest innovations and enhancements. Education Portal is one such technically advanced and enhanced tool that performs as an innovative solution. The portal-based information sharing and processing add convenience as well as transparency for the students, parents, and teachers.

Taking parallel objectives, Education portal also makes the learning process interactive. From class schedules to homework management, parents, teachers, and students all have real-time access to check the learning progress and student’s engagement with it. Apart from the streamlined learning platform the Portal also assists institutions in systemizing their admin process.

PORTAL : SYSTEM STRUCTURE The system will consider teachers, students, and directors as commanding users. It will have an administrator who will be responsible for troubleshooting and failure recovering. Additionally, the administrator will define new users, give privileges, freeze account, delete accounts, update the system by adding new functions and maintain the system security. This system would also provide engaging communication between the school administrative members, teachers, students, parents, and directors. Such features provide an easy, user-friendly, and fast communication. Along with it, the portal will also reduce paper communication drastically. Teachers will also be able to reach students easily and will be more in contact with them.

Parallelly, students will also get an interactive mode of learning that is transparent, easily accessible via portal. Parents will also be able to follow up for the academic and behavioral information of their children conveniently.

E-LEARNING PORTAL FOR ONLINE EDUCATION

Online Education is one of the most advancing revolutions in the education industry. It is trending broadly and gaining colossal traction on the global platform at a good pace. Though online learning has its own limitations, it is a pretty productive option for millions of students worldwide who are willing to learn things that are not available around them. Studies show that today, students are increasingly opting for more online degree programs than ever and taking at least one course with their interest through a suitable online platform.

Certainly, online education holds the potential to gain polarity with its attributes to the numerous advantages the platform offers. With this potential, eLearning and online education have revolutionized the contemporary education system, opening up some great opportunities for educators as well as learners. The online education has shifted the paradigm, and surely the future of education which is going to be more glorious.

The global Online Education Market is also increasingly gaining momentum thanks to technological advancements.

These advancements are proving to be impactful for enhancing the quality of education, making it accessible remotely as well as making the administrative process of education more efficient.

VIRTUAL CLASSROOMS The terms Virtual classroom and Web classroom are often used in the context of contemporary distance education and Web-Based Education (WBE) to denote any means of live or pre-programmed Internet broadcast of information and/or a Web-based environment meant to support teaching and learning. When learners and teachers "meet" in the virtual classroom, they actually simultaneously access a particular URL that is dispensing information. Such a computer-accessible, online learning environment can fulfill many of the learning facilitation roles of a physical classroom in more or less the same way a blackboard does for a real classroom. In fact, virtual classrooms are often modeled after the metaphor of a physical classroom.

The interface of the supporting software may present a desk for each student, a teacher's desk, cupboards for resources, presentation board (virtual blackboard), module/assignment notebook, tools for chat and written communication among the teacher and the class or among the peer, access to online resources and tests, and even classroom posters.

Note a difference between classrooms with physically present learners and virtual classrooms with remote interaction. In the former, Web technologies and other electronic devices and tools support teaching, learning, and communication in addition to live interaction among the students and the teacher(s). Such classrooms are also often called Web classrooms but are in fact technology-enriched typical teacher-moderated classroom situations with physical presence of both the students and the teachers. In the latter case, physically remote students and teachers u s e appropriate software environments and Web technologies as the means to interact, both synchronously and asynchronously.

VISION DOCUMENT

ARCHITECTURE AND MODES OF INTERACTION Architecturally, a web classroom is usually a client-server learning environment. Students and teachers work in a real or in a virtual classroom; in both cases, students can learn either individually or collaboratively. The web technology connects the teachers on the server side and the students on the client side.

There are at least four modes of a student's interaction with a virtual classroom: Authentication logging in for a new session.

Learning Browsing, selecting and then consuming the material provided. The consumption of the content depends on the type. It is possible to have learning content in text, audio we well as video format.

Assessment Answering questions the system asks after the le a module is completed.

arning of

Validation The mode in which the system checks and updates the student module by estimating the student's knowledge about different topics from the material they were supposed to learn.
