2. Initial ERD
2.1. Entity and Attributes
An entity is a graphical representation to show the relationship between objects or entities.
For Example; Teacher, Student or Program. It is a single person, place or thing which data
can be stored in databases. (TechTarget, 2024)

Figure 1: Entity Relationship Diagram

Attributes are used to describe entity which are properties or characteristics. It is used to
give more information about entity and helps to categorize the entity and can be easily
manipulated or retrieved. The entity without attribute has no any use in the database.

The initial Entity Relationship Diagram shows the relationship between Student, Teacher,
Program and Module. The student table have attributes Student_ID, Student_name,
Contact_No, Email, Student_Address, Enrollment_Date, Gender, Program_ID. The
program table contains attributes Program_ID, Program_Name, Descriptions. The
Modules table contains attributes Module_ID, Module_Name, Assessment_ID,
Assessment_Title, Assessment_Deadline, Assessment_Weight, Result_Detail, Marks,
Resource_ID, Resource_Type, Duration, Announcement_Title, Announcement_Date.
The teacher table contails attributes Teacher_ID, Teacher_Name, Teacher_Address,
Teacher_Email, Hire_Date. The student table and Program table has many to one
relationship whereas many students can enroll in only one program which is mandatory
for student. The program and modules have many to many relationships as multiple
programs have multiple modules. The module and teacher have many to many
relationships as multiple teachers teaches multiple modules and each teacher can teach
