Adding reference materials

[basvas-jkj]

As a teacher, I require the ability to assign textbooks, reference materials, and other resources to each subject within the university student information system. This functionality will facilitate better preparation and organization for both instructors and students. Centralizing all required materials in one place will enhance students' understanding of the topics and streamline access to essential resources.

REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTION:

The subject module of the university student information system must provide teachers with the ability to assign textbooks, reference materials, and other resources to each subject offered within the system. This functionality aims to enhance preparation and organization for instructors and students by centralizing all required materials.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

• The system shall allow teachers to associate textbooks, reference materials, and supplementary resources (e.g., articles, videos) with specific subjects.
• Teachers should be able to upload files directly or provide links to external resources when assigning materials to subjects.
• Assigned resources should be easily accessible and viewable by students enrolled in the respective subjects.
• Students should have a centralized location within the system to access all assigned materials for each subject they are enrolled in.
• The system should support version control for resources, allowing teachers to update or replace materials as needed.

NON-FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

• The system must be responsive and capable of handling simultaneous resource uploads and downloads without significant delays.
• Access to assigned resources should be restricted to authorized users (i.e., teachers and enrolled students) to maintain confidentiality and integrity.
• Secure authentication mechanisms (e.g., username/password) should be implemented to ensure data protection.
• The user interface for assigning resources should be intuitive and user-friendly, supporting file uploads, links, and descriptive metadata.

Usecase

Starting Situation:

A teacher accesses the subject management module within the university's student information system to associate textbooks, reference materials, and other resources with a specific subject.

Normal:

1. Teacher selects a subject and navigates to the resource assignment interface.
2. Teacher uploads files directly or provides links to external resources (e.g., websites, online articles, videos) relevant to the subject.
3. Teacher adds descriptive metadata (e.g., title, author, description) for each assigned resource.
4. System verifies the uploaded resources and metadata for correctness and format.
5. System associates the uploaded resources with the selected subject.
6. Assigned resources become accessible and viewable within the subject's profile.

What Can Go Wrong:

• Incomplete or incorrect metadata provided for the resources. The system prompts the teacher to fill or correct the missing or incorrect fields.
• Failure to upload valid resource files. The system notifies the teacher to upload files in supported formats (e.g., PDF, DOCX) and within size limitations.
• Resource upload exceeds system capacity or network limitations. The system informs the teacher to retry the upload later.
• Unauthorized access attempt. The system restricts access to resource assignment features to authenticated and authorized users only.

System State on Completion:

• Assigned resources are linked to the subject and visible to faculty students.
• Students can access all assigned resources conveniently within the system.
• The system supports version control, allowing teachers to update or replace resources as needed.
• Resource history and versioning are maintained for auditing and tracking purposes.
