Operative Women Buttinsky

Objective:

 

q  The objective is to develop an online mentoring system to promote and encourage women to actively participate in the field of Science and technology.

q  The purpose is to provide a platform to empower women and make them eligible to take up tasks in the chosen domain.

Existing System:

q  In the present scenario, there are not enough opportunities for rural women to pursue a career of their interest.

q  The social background often is an impediment for women and they are generally not encouraged to undergo regular academics and training courses. Even if they enroll for distance-mode or correspondence courses, these systems leave a huge gap in interactions among faculty/trainers and students. Often it takes several days before correspondence is done properly.

q  Mailing of courseware and assignments is also done conventionally using postal system.

Proposed System:

q  In the proposed system, we intend to develop a web-based application providing the necessary services and online training to empower women.

q  The application offers a wide variety of courses in multiple domains, from which one can select a particular area of interest.

q  Mentors who are experts in their respective domains impart the necessary training.

q  The enrolled students can post queries online and get their responses from the mentors.

Study of the system:

To provide flexibility to the users, the interfaces have been developed that are accessible through a browser. The GUI’S at the top level have been categorized as

1. Administrative user interface
2. The operational or generic user interface

The ‘administrative user interface’ concentrates on the consistent information that is practically, part of the organizational activities and which needs proper authentication for the data collection. These interfaces help the administrators with all the transactional states like Data insertion, Data deletion and Date updation along with the extensive data search capabilities.

The ‘operational or generic user interface’ helps the end users of the system in transactions through the existing data and required services. The operational user interface also helps the ordinary users in managing their own information in a customized manner as per the included flexibilities.

Feasibility Study:

Feasibility Report:

Preliminary investigation examines project feasibility, the likelihood the system will be useful to the organization. The main objective of the feasibility study is to test the Technical, Operational and Economical feasibility for adding new modules and debugging old running system. All systems are feasible if they are given unlimited resources and infinite time. There are aspects in the feasibility study portion of the preliminary investigation:

• Technical Feasibility
• Operation Feasibility
• Economical Feasibility

Technical Feasibility:

The technical issue usually raised during the feasibility stage of the investigation includes the following:

• Does the necessary technology exist to do what is suggested?
• Do the proposed equipments have the technical capacity to hold the data required to use the new system?
• Will the proposed system provide adequate response to inquiries, regardless of the number or location of users?
• Can the system be upgraded if developed?
• Are there technical guarantees of accuracy, reliability, ease of access and data security?

Operational Feasibility:

Proposed projects are beneficial only if they can be turned out into information systems, which will meet the organization’s operating requirements. Operational feasibility aspects of the project are to be taken as an important part of the project implementation. Some of the important issues raised are to test the operational feasibility of a project includes the following: -

·         Is there sufficient support for the management from the users?

·         Will the system be used and work properly if it is being developed and implemented?

·         Will there be any resistance from the user that will undermine the possible application benefits?

This system is targeted to be in accordance with the above-mentioned issues. Beforehand, the management issues and user requirements have been taken into consideration. So there is no question of resistance from the users that can undermine the possible application benefits.

The well-planned design would ensure the optimal utilization of the computer resources and would help in the improvement of performance status.

Economic Feasibility:

A system can be developed technically and that will be used if installed must still be a good investment for the organization. In the economical feasibility, the development cost in creating the system is evaluated against the ultimate benefit derived from the new systems. Financial benefits must equal or exceed the costs. The system is economically feasible. It does not require any additional hardware or software. 

Functional Requirements:

Number of Modules

After careful analysis the system has been identified to have the following modules:

1. Administrator Module
2. Mentors Module
3. Student Module
4. Reports Module

1.  Administrator Module:

The administrator manages mentor and student details who register with the system, by creating their profiles. Based on profiles, mentors are assigned to students. Administrator also manages details of countries, universities and colleges involved in the system. Administrator also maintains domains or areas and along with course details. Administrator will generate reports with appropriate details, as and when necessary.

2. Mentors Module:

         There would be a master mentor who manages and coordinates other mentors. Each mentor will be assigned tasks related to a particular domain. The mentor is responsible for a group of students in a specific area. Each mentor manages tutorials and courseware, manages forums, posts achievements and stories of successful women and chats online with the students. A mentor can view and update ones personal details. A mentor also conducts online tests.

3. Student Module:

A student must register and complete admission formalities before one can begin accessing the information. A student can update and view ones personal details. A student can interact with the assigned mentor, participate in forums, post and view success stories, take tests and post and view achievements.
