WORK BREAKDOWN
STRUCTURE
1. Project Initiation
1.1First, we define the overall goals and scope of the LMS project—what
exactly we want to achieve.
1.2Then, we identify the key people involved, like stakeholders and team
members.
2. Requirements Analysis
2.1We gather requirements from all types of users: students, instructors, and
administrators.
2.2We document the main functions the LMS should have, such as course
creation, enrollment, and assessments.
2.3We also note the non-functional needs, like security, system scalability, and
user-friendliness.
3. System Design
3.1We design the overall system architecture, deciding how the client, server,
and database will communicate.
3.2We create initial designs for the user interface, such as wireframes and
prototypes.
3.3We define the database structure and how data will flow through the
system.
3.4We plan security measures and access controls to protect user data.
4.4-Assessments: Create quizzes and exams with options for automatic and
manual grading.
5. Testing
5.4Have real users test the system to confirm it meets their needs (user
acceptance testing).
6. Deployment
7.1Create user manuals and guides to help users understand the LMS.
7.2Conduct training sessions for instructors and administrators.
8.3Apply updates and patches to keep the system secure and up to date.
The high-level architecture gives us a big-picture view of how the LMS is structured
and how its parts work together. It helps understand the major components, how they
communicate, and how content flows through the system.
Software Components
User Interface (UI): This is the front-end part that students, instructors, and
admins interact with. It includes web pages and mobile app screens where
users can browse courses, take quizzes, and manage their accounts.
Application Server: This handles the core logic of the LMS. It processes user
requests, manages course content, assessments, enrollments, and user roles.
Database: Stores all the data such as user information, course materials,
grades, and activity logs.
Integration Layer: Connects the LMS with third-party services like video
conferencing tools, payment gateways, or external content providers.
Communication Protocols
Different parts of the LMS communicate using standard protocols to ensure smooth
data exchange:
HTTP/HTTPS: Used between the user's browser or app and the LMS server
for secure web communication.
RESTful APIs: Allow different components (like the front end and backend,
or third-party services) to exchange data in a structured way, usually using
JSON.
WebSocket: Can be used for real-time features such as live chat or instant
notifications.
Database Queries (SQL): The application server communicates with the
database using SQL queries to fetch or update information.
Interfaces define how the different modules connect and work together:
