Furthermore, educators often lack the digital tools necessary to efficiently manage course content,
monitor student performance, and provide timely feedback. The absence of a unified, interactive,
and secure platform hinders institutions’ ability to deliver quality education, especially with the
growing demand for online and hybrid learning solutions. Security of user data, as well as course
material protection, are additional concerns that are not adequately addressed by many existing
systems.

There is a pressing need for an online platform that provides a seamless educational experience
while allowing educators to manage courses effectively, and ensures data privacy and security for
both learners and institutions.

 Scope of Work:
1) Design and build a user-friendly web application that allows students to access educational
resources, including video lectures, notes, assignments, and tests.
2) Implement content delivery features, such as: Video Lectures for students to stream.
Assignments with tools for digital feedback. Notes, resources, and downloadable materials
3) Backend development to collect, store, and manage educational data securely, utilizing PHP,
Python, and MySQL for efficient data handling, while implementing encryption to ensure data
privacy.

Step 1: User Sign-up/Sign-in

 The user can either sign up for a new account or log in to an existing account. The
sign-up and login options are available on the top right of the home page.
 Sign-up directs the user to a form for registration, while sign-in validates the user's
credentials and provides access to their profile.

Step 2: Login Process

 After successful login, the user is redirected to the home page.


 From the home page, the user has access to the full features of the platform, including
personalized course recommendations and settings.

Step 3: Home Page and Dashboard

 The home page features a welcome message ("Welcome to LearnOnline") and serves
as the main hub where users can access various sections such as:
o Courses: Includes a range of subjects like Programming, Web Development,
Cyber Security, AI, Social Sciences, and more.
o Soft Skills: A dedicated section for developing personal skills.
o Profile: Users can view or edit their personal information.
