Project Proposal (Partial Example)

* 1.1 Title: "UniConnect: A Collaborative Learning and Knowledge Sharing Platform"

* 1.2 Introduction:

* "The current learning environment in our university department lacks a centralized platform for resource sharing and peer interaction. This
project aims to develop UniConnect, a web-based platform designed to enhance collaborative learning and knowledge sharing among students
and professors."

* "The primary goals are to provide a central repository for learning materials, facilitate peer-to-peer discussions, and improve communication
within the department."

* 1.3 Problem Statement:

* "Students often struggle to find relevant learning materials scattered across various platforms (email, shared drives, etc.)."

* "There is limited opportunity for students to engage in meaningful discussions and collaborate on projects outside of scheduled class time."

* "Communication from professors regarding important updates or announcements is often inefficient."

* 1.4 Proposed Solution:

* "UniConnect will offer features like a resource repository, discussion forums, study group creation, and a notification system."

* "It will provide a user-friendly interface for students and professors to easily access and share information."

2. Software Requirements Specification (SRS) (Partial Example)

* 2.3 Functional Requirements:

* "FR1: User Authentication: The system shall allow users to register and log in with their university credentials."

* "FR2: Resource Upload/Download: The system shall allow users to upload and download learning resources (e.g., PDFs, documents,
presentations)."

* "FR3: Discussion Forums: The system shall provide discussion forums where users can post questions, share ideas, and engage in
conversations."

* "FR4: Study group creation: The system shall allow users to create study groups and invite other users to join."

* "FR5: Notification system: The system shall notify users of new resource uploads, forum posts, and announcements."

* 2.4 Non-Functional Requirements:

* "NFR1: Performance: The system shall have a response time of less than 2 seconds for all user interactions."
* "NFR2: Security: The system shall protect user data and prevent unauthorized access."

* "NFR3: Usability: The system shall have an intuitive and easy-to-use interface."

* 2.5 Use Case Diagrams/User Stories:

* Use case: "Upload Resource"

* Actor: Student/Professor

* Description: User uploads a learning resource to the platform.

* Steps: Login -> Navigate to resource upload page -> Select file -> Add description -> Upload.

* User Story: "As a student, I want to be able to join a study group so that I can collaborate with my peers."

3. Software Function Specification (Partial Example)

* 3.1 Detailed Function Descriptions:

* FR2: Resource Upload/Download:

 * "When a user selects the 'Upload Resource' option, the system will display a file selection dialog. The user can choose a file from their local
storage and add a description. The system will then validate the file type and size. Upon successful validation, the file will be stored in the
server's file system, and a database record will be created with the file's metadata. Users with appropriate permissions can then download the
file."

* 3.2 Input/Output Specifications:

* Resource Upload:

* Input: File (PDF, DOC, PPT), Description (text).

* Output: Success/Failure message, database record of file.

* Resource Download:

* Input: File ID.

* Output: File download.

* 3.3 Error Handling:

* "If a user attempts to upload a file exceeding the maximum size limit, the system will display an error message: 'File size exceeds the limit.'"
* "If the database connection fails during a resource upload, the system will display an error message: 'Database error. Please try again later.'"

4. Design Document (Partial Example)

* 4.1 Architectural Design:

* "The system will follow a three-tier architecture: presentation layer (front-end), application layer (back-end), and data layer (database). The
front-end will be developed using React, the back-end using Node.js with Express.js, and the database using PostgreSQL."

* Diagram showing the 3 layers, and the flow of data between them.

* 4.2 Database Design:

* ERD:

* Users (UserID, Username, Password, Email, Role)

* Resources (ResourceID, UserID, Title, FilePath, Description, UploadDate)

* Forums (ForumID, Title, Description)

 * Posts (PostID, ForumID, UserID, Content, PostDate)

* StudyGroups(GroupID, GroupName, Description)

* GroupMembers(GroupID, UserID)

* "The database will use relational tables to store user data, learning resources, and forum posts."

* 4.3 User Interface (UI) Design:

* "The UI will be designed with a clean and intuitive layout. The navigation menu will provide easy access to the main features. The resource
repository will display a list of uploaded files with search and filter options."

* Wireframe of the resource page, showing the search bar, filter options, and file list.

* 4.4 Class Diagrams/Sequence Diagrams:

* Class Diagram showing the user class, resource class and forum class.

* Sequence diagram showing the flow of actions when a user uploads a resource.

* 4.5 Implementation Details:

 * "The back-end will use RESTful APIs to handle communication between the front-end and database. The front-end will use Axios to make API
requests."

* "The password will be hashed using bcrypt before being stored in the database."

Important Notes:

* This is a highly simplified example. Your actual documentation will be much more detailed.

* You'll need to include specific code examples, detailed diagrams, and thorough explanations of your design choices.

* Remember to adapt this to the specifics of your project.

* Use tools like draw.io for diagrams, and

any code documentation tools that your programming language supports.
