We prepared a new version of a lecture planning system for one of the biggest universities in Poland. The first version was created in 2015, and after 5 years it became outdated/obsolete, the client asked us to prepare an updated version. As the client did not have an exact idea of what the update should comprise/look like/include, we held a workshop to check what we could improve.
Key challenges
- Making the tool accessible for people with disabilities in accordance with Polish governmental regulations
- Planning a complex system for managing lecturers' duty hours, room occupancy, current messages, lecture plans etc.
- Thoroughly testing the application to make sure that the user will be notified about conflicting results
Technologies and methodology
PHP 7.4 
Symfony 4.4 
Angular 
NodeJS 
ElasticSearch 
Project outcome
The system contains many complicated functionalities such as:
- A search engine (searching by: lecturers, activities, halls)
- Planning classes, taking into account the availability of lecturers and a potential conflict of rooms (e.g. too many students for the size of the room)
- Offline access for students via a Progressive Web App (PWA) website
- Calculating salaries for lecturers
- Notifications for students and lecturers
- Reports per lecturers, hall, group of students, activities etc.
