Thesis (MTech (Information Technology))--Peninsula Technikon, Cape Town, 2004 / This document describes the design and implementation of an Assignment
Management Module (AMM) to function within the architectural constraints of
an eXisting open-source software (OSS) Leaming Management System (LMS).
The project is established for Infonmation Technology Department Master
Degree Project of the Peninsula Technikon.
The Assignment Management Module will be constructed in orders to make it
easier to create, mark, and manage assignments and record individual student
perfonmances. The design entailed work on different function blocks like a
user's authorisation, files uploadfdownload and mailing reminder unit as well
as writing and testing of the application code on the intemet/intranet. The
development process of the project to explore how to fu lfi11 software
engineering methodology in an open-source environment, also presents
details of the design architecture and technologies to be used, as well as being
mindful of its future directions.
The target audience of this document is anyone with an interest in an
open-source software project in general, and in a Learning Management
System in particular. If the reader has also been a contributor to Learning
Management System, and especially to the management of assignments, this
document may provide additional value, in that it strives to present a new
approach to the understanding of such a module.
