System Requirements Document for project-45ddd2b9

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for "project-45ddd2b9," a Student Course Management System. This project aims to develop a comprehensive platform for managing student courses using Java and Eclipse as the development environment.

System Overview

The Student Course Management System is designed to streamline the process of managing courses, students, and related academic activities. The system will provide functionalities for course registration, student enrollment, grade management, and reporting. It will be developed using Java, leveraging the Eclipse IDE for implementation.

Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As an Administrator, I should be able to create, update, and delete courses.
• As a Student, I should be able to register for available courses.
• As an Instructor, I should be able to manage student grades for courses I teach.
• As an Administrator, I should be able to generate reports on student enrollments and course statistics.
• As a Student, I should be able to view my enrolled courses and grades.
• As an Instructor, I should be able to view the list of students enrolled in my courses.

User Personas

• Administrator: Manages the overall system, including course creation and reporting.
• Student: Registers for courses and views grades.
• Instructor: Manages course content and student grades.

Core User Flows

• Administrator creates a new course -> Students register for the course -> Instructor manages course content and grades -> Administrator generates reports.
• Student logs in -> Views available courses -> Registers for a course -> Views enrolled courses and grades.
• Instructor logs in -> Views assigned courses -> Manages student grades -> Views student enrollment list.

Visuals Colors and Theme

Signature Design Concept

The homepage will feature an interactive "Course Galaxy" concept. Users will see a dynamic galaxy map where each star represents a course. Hovering over a star will reveal course details, and clicking will allow users to register or manage the course. The galaxy will rotate slowly, creating a sense of exploration and discovery. This will be implemented using motion/react for smooth animations and interactions.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

The landing page will depict a "Course Universe" where courses orbit around a central "Education Hub." As users scroll, courses will dynamically move closer to the hub, symbolizing the journey of learning. The animation will loop every 10 seconds, with courses changing colors to indicate availability. This will be achieved using CSS animations and motion/react for interactive elements.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Interaction Model: Animated
• The landing page will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions. Interactive elements will have spring physics for a polished user experience.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must be scalable to support up to 10,000 concurrent users.
• The system should ensure data security and privacy for all user information.
• The system should be responsive and accessible on various devices and screen sizes.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Java (using Eclipse IDE)
• Backend: Java (using Eclipse IDE)
• Database: MySQL for relational data management
• Local orchestration: Docker for containerization

Assumptions and Constraints

• The system will be developed and tested using the Eclipse IDE.
• The project will adhere to Java programming standards and best practices.
• The system will be deployed on a server environment supporting Java applications.

Glossary
