EduSphere: Student Teacher Management System

A web-based platform designed to manage students, teachers, and supervisors in a school or educational institution. The system provides different levels of access, depending on the user's role (Supervisor, Teacher, and Student). The Supervisor has the most authority to manage the system, followed by the Teacher and then the Student.

Project Overview

This System is Designed to Handle Three Types of Users:

Supervisor

The highest-level user in the system. Supervisors have full control over the students and teachers. They can:

  Monitor all students and resource teachers.
  Add new students and teachers to the system.
  Assign students to teachers.
  Create announcements for all users.
  View the progress summary of all students.
  Note: Supervisors cannot score students or approve DTRs.

Teacher

Teachers can evaluate students and approve their Daily Time Records (DTR). Teachers have additional functionalities such as:

  Evaluate and approve DTR submissions from students.
  Add tasks and maintain a to-do list.
  View progress summaries for their assigned students.

Student

Students have limited functionality and mainly interact with the system to input their own data and view important updates. They can:

  View announcements made by Supervisors or Teachers.
  Insert daily logs of their activities.
  Mark tasks in their to-do list as "done."
