Educational Institution Portal Development
An educational institution portal (school, university, college) is an information platform with sections for applicants, students/learners, parents, and staff. Functionality ranges from simple brochure website to comprehensive learning platform.
Sections for Different Audiences
For applicants: curricula with requirements and dates, entrance exams, online application submission, admissions campaign news.
For students/learners: class schedule, personal account with grades, assignments and deadlines, electronic journal, access to learning materials.
For parents: child attendance, academic performance (electronic gradebook), absence notifications, communication with class teacher.
For teachers: attendance and grade record, material upload, schedule, internal announcements.
Electronic Journal and Gradebook
Key section for schools. Structure: class → subject → student list → grades by date/topic. Summary grades for term/half-year/year calculated automatically or entered manually.
Synchronization with FGIS "My School" or regional electronic journal systems (Dnevnik.ru, GIS "Education") via API for public schools.
Schedule
Public class schedule with filters by group/class, teacher, classroom. Export to iCal for personal calendar integration. Push notifications on changes.
Online Document Submission
Applicant fills form, uploads documents (transcripts, passport, photo scans). Admissions committee sees applications in CMS with status change capability (accepted / additional documents requested / rejected). Email notifications at each stage.
