This is my first step to open source programming.I feel I am upto the task because I have done a similar project for IBM which was a virtual class room project.Here am just planning to take it to the next level by improving the existing ideas and also including some newer ones.

Name of my project-I.T Enabled Academia



Purpose of project:





· Online tests can be created, taken and solutions can be provided online.

· Create discussion forums online to clear doubts and also share new ideas and theories.

· Downloadable study material for all classes to be uploaded to the server for students’ aid.

· Online application for leave for students and professors and automatic rescheduling of

classes.

· Attendance details of the students will also be available online.

· Generate time tables for all classes based on availability of the professors.

Technologies used:Java,Java script,AJAX,JASPER,Tomcat,Mysql.

Time Line: 5 weeks would be fine as i already have experience doing a similar project.

week-1: User management and Class management.

week-2:File management,Exams.

week-3:Discussion forums and reports.

week-4:Exams creation and taking up them.

Week-5:Marks,attendance management and conferencing for lectures.



I'm confident that I am upto the task as i have already done a similar project for IBM where the activities of an entire educational institutions can be done online and have also presented it to them directly.That project included most of the modules i have specified here but now i have also added conferencing module which am alredy working on for a different project.So i should be able to complete the project successfully.

Also i am obsessed with web programming so much that i work over night and my mom gets worried.I feel this project would raise the level of education to make learning easier and taking it to the next level.

Here is the blog that has some snap shots of that project.

One thing i learnt during my childhood ..

I learnt that I should always listen to my mom..She used to advice me not to play with stray dogs but I used to feed them in her absence but then one day a dog..It was supposed to be my friend but it chased my all the way down the street..Man mom is always right:)
