Project Objectives

Building individual websites for each of Premier’s Programs would have been very resource intensive and the final results would have been difficult to maintain. Instead, we needed to have one single custom made web application based on Premier’s business model, so we could use multiple installations of it for the online delivery of Premier’s curriculums and educational programs.

The ideal solution was a Learning Content Management System with the ability to store, manage and deliver the course content to all the schools who had a registered account with Premier.

Within such a system, School Administrators and Teachers were able to register and enroll their students to a set of virtual classrooms, where they could perform a number of learning activities such as:

1. Read and follow lessons’ instructions
2. Watch videos
3. Perform online Quizzes or Surveys
4. Get feedbacks from the system about their progress
   

In the mean time School Administrators and Teachers were able to create Grade Books and Survey Reports as soon as students submit their quiz or survey results.
For example they could compare the survey results before, during and after the students had gone through the learning activities and indicate whether or not there had been a progress in the student behavior and attitude.

Other Technical Features for this web application would be:

• Specialized Access Control List: ability to handle at least four types of users:
• Administrators: with Global or school level privileges
• Teachers: with classroom level privileges
• Students: can only administer their own accounts
• User Profile Management: ability for users to register for a personal account using their name, email, username and password, and also the ability to administer their own accounts.
• Classroom Management: ability to add and remove students and teachers to virtual classrooms within a school account.
• Learning Management: ability to create, store and manage ordered lists of lessons for each types of users. Ability to construct lessons and assign a set of learning objects (Quizzes, Surveys, Videos, PDF documents, etc …) to every lesson.
• Reporting Features: ability to create Quiz Grade-books for each classroom, and Aggregated Survey Reports for each school or all the schools combined.
• Template Management: every program developed by Premier had a different branding identity, therefore a template management feature would have allowed different user interface look & feel for each individual program.
