Abstract:
Idea was to develop knowledge based project which is basically designed to solve current
problems of our university, which is facing many complications regarding management of
admin, faculty and students. These complications can be documented as, managing a lot
of paper work, difficulty in communication, collaboration among students,
announcements etc. Most of the time admins and teachers cannot appropriately grip their
workload. There is no common platform among admin , teachers and students due to
which they face a lot of glitches like admins face problems in making announcements ,
scheduling classes and subjects , viewing area of interest of faculty .Likewise, teachers
face difficulties in uploading assignments, lectures, marks and students face problems in
downloading lectures, submitting assignments, knowing the deadline of assignments,
teacher announcements, even the students cannot evaluate their complete performances of
their current and previous semesters.
Bahria university does not have any proper learning management system, We have put an
effort to create an effective learning management system which is knowledge based using
PHP .It can not only perform functions of a typical learning management system but in
addition it brings the facility of resource pool, show performance graphs of students, it
not only facilitates students and teachers like other learning management systems but it
particularly helps and facilitates administration. It is a wide-ranging platform for admin,
faculty and students .Our software helps them by merging all of these three on a single
platform. By using such software , Administration can easily add all classes and Courses,
