Architectural Visualizations
Visualization 1
Description
The above architectural visualization showcases a software system that supports the administration, documenting, tracking, and delivering educational materials to online students. It also indicates the portability and visibilities from different student user locations. This gives room for access to personal bookmarks and course repository via a web browser (Dennis, Wixom & Roth, 2014). The above system helps students to easily gain access to relevant reading contents. This offers personalized learning object recommendations. Thus, the system directly makes use of the already existing database that contains learning contents, thereby offering access to open high amounts of digital information. This information system is reflective of the continuous ongoing changes of its members, as needed by a cooperative framework.
Benefits
The key stakeholders for the above system include: students, the organization, the systems administrators, and educators. The above system offers solutions for the end-users and resources modeling that has the capacity to capture both structural and semantics information. Moreover, it integrates the content-based and collaborative strategies within a virtual community context that has a major effect on the quality of service (Ma, 2006). Moreover, the system contributes immensely to human collaborative works since it supports group collaboration among individuals who are involved in a particular work procedure, independently of time and space.
Visualization 2
Description
This system provides online learning by offering a conducive learning environment for students and their educators. For instance, educators and administrators can effectively store their learning resources while keeping their end-users who are students informed about course contents and requirements. Course contents can be stored in both the local and remote content repositories. Students are also monitored so that they can progress through the learning resources that have been offered. The dissemination of course contents online enables lecturers to cut costs that are associated with printouts when they desire. The above learning repository offers lecturers and students with high quality peer reviewed leaning resources and materials.
Benefits
The main stakeholders include lecturers, the school’s management, and students. The above system has the ability to help learners by getting rid of irrelevant information. This is because it operates like a mediator between the information sources, learning management system, and the learners. Thus, the described system can be applicable within any context in which the group collaboration is a requisite. Being a web-based system, it is an ideal application domain. It also offers students with a flexible chance to learn when and where they select. The ubiquitous characteristics of the above system facilitate students’ process of interacting with good quality learning resources in spite of time and locality.
Visualization 3
Description
Some of the main stakeholders for the above system are: students, teachers, and employees. The above platform takes a careful consideration of the ways in which courseware and delivery platform. The LMS is connected to the Student Information System in a way to ensure that the right student is automatically placed in the right course at the right time. Moreover, there are necessary security access controls that have been put in place. One such measure is authentication and use of passwords as indicated above. This ensures that only authorized users can log in or out of the system. In addition, it has room for user portal that is offered to the learner and educator. This enables the student learner who has a secure login, to gain access to contents that are of interest to them. Further, it represents a portal sophistication system, which is essentially a major improvement in student services that are only attainable via online delivery. In addition, since the ability to personalize a student’s experience is not economically or practically conceivable offline, this system is basically working online. Moreover, the inclusion of students for the development of their own personal spaces offers some degree of understanding of their learning surroundings.
Benefits
The development of the above personalized interactive online learning resources can offer educators such as lecturers with an alternative asynchronous teaching methodology. This plays a significant role in enhancing the learning experiences for students. In addition, users such as learners, are given the chance to interact with heir personalized interactive learning resources (Papadopoulos et al. 2009). Consequently, they are allowed to join a discussion board, and engage in chats and video conferencing that enable them to discuss at length about the questions and concepts that are involved and to broadly share views with their peers and educators.
Visualization 4
Description
The above architectural visualization showcases an online examination system. The security of the examination database is safeguarded by cryptography, real-time mentoring mechanism, and data transmission encryption (McKay, 2013). It suggests that it is multi-layered in nature, and is made up of the Web server, database server and WOES middleware. The systems security has been included to impose restrictions to the access to programs and data by unauthorized individuals.
Benefits
For this architectural visualization, stakeholders include: examiners, students, educators, and members of the public. One of the benefits of this system is that it has real-time or direct access processing. This ensures that students are able to do their exams online within the stipulated timeframe (McKay, 2013). Moreover, it has an effective database system that is supportive of its day-to-day activities. Moreover, it is a category of system technology that allows the students to make queries by retrieving data and carry out an analysis in an ordinary fashion when the user is at his or her PC.
