Project purpose or justification
The majority of Vietnamese schools currently use a manual management system
to handle information about pupils, teachers, schedules, and courses. Since the
number of students is exponentially increasing, this form of data management is
deemed inefficient, inaccurate, and time-consuming. The manual method
necessitates the preservation of various written records, which necessitates
significant resources such as room storage. Quiz scoring by the instructor is often
boring, time-consuming, and often unreliable. Due to time and distance
constraints, it is difficult for teachers to share and upgrade course resources with
their students.
It is important to improve the effectiveness and consistency of the educational
process. By offering tools for organizing classes, courses, and accessing resources,
a course management system may assist in resolving the issues listed above.
 Teachers no longer have to manually grade quizzes on paper; instead, they
may automate the grading process by providing the system with a response
for each question.
 There is no need for teachers to manually record each student's score on
paper. The machine automatically records and saves the score.
 By easily uploading slides, e-books, and other tools to the website, it is
easier for teachers to share and refresh them with their students. It assists
in lowering the cost of printing or delivering them to students.
 Students can enroll in class, take a test, and receive a test result report.
 Students can keep track of their academic success to see if they improve in
a specific subject.
 Students have access to sharing resources at any time and from any place.
Measurable project objectives and related success criteria
Objective Success Criteria
1. By facilitating sharing resources The total cost of paper used in a
online, the course management particular school is reduced by at least
system helps reduce the total cost 25% in the first year after applying the
of paper used in a particular school. system.
2. Improve teachers’ productivity in Statistic which derives from teachers’
grading test. feedback should show that the
teachers’ productivity has been
improved at least 20%.
3. Increase students’ satisfaction and Statistic which derives from students’
interest in learning a particular feedback should show that the
subject. students’ satisfaction has been
improved 15% in at least 2 subjects.
4. Improve quality of teaching and Average students’ grade in each
learning. subject should increase at least 5%
Statistic which derives from students’
feedback should suggest that each
teacher’s quality of teaching has
increased at least 10%.
5. Facilitate the process of sharing and Statistic deriving from students and
accessing study’s resources. teachers’ feedback should suggest that
the process of sharing and accessing
resource in each subject has increased
at least 25%.
High-level requirements
1. Students will be able to view and download learning materials via the
Course Management System.
2. The system would produce a grade transcript for each student in a specific
semester.
3. Students would be able to enroll in a specific course via the system.
4. Students will be able to take exams using the framework.
5. Teachers would be able to build assessments using the framework.
6. The system would enable teachers to see the grade of a test in a particular
class to which they are assigned.
7. Teachers will be able to exchange learning resources for each course they
are teaching across the framework.

Assumptions and constraints

Assumptions:
- Every student and instructor has access to a personal computer or laptop
with a reliable Internet connection; or every school that uses the Course
Management System has sufficient computers or laptops for its students
and staff.
- In order to use the system comfortably, both student and instructor should
have a clear understanding of computers and the Internet.
- Every school has a policy against students cheating on exams.
Constraints:
- The project must launch on September 3, 2020
- The project must finish within 6 months
High-level risks
1. Because no one on the team has ever built a system like this before, there's
a risk we've grossly underestimated the amount of work involved.
2. Since most Vietnamese schools are used to and relaxed with manual course
management, there is a risk that they will refuse to use our method.
3. Since users were not involved in the requirements collection process,
developers do not have accurate requirements or a thorough
understanding of the requirement.
