SRS (Online Learning Management System) | Designing Use Case Diagram

A Use Case Diagram depicts the interactions between system users and the system itself, illustrating the actions users take and the responses the system provides.

This diagram depicts the use case diagram for an Online Learning Management System (LMS). Here’s an explanation of each component:

1. Actors:
   • Student : Represents individuals who are enrolled in courses and use the system to access course materials, submit assignments, and view grades.
   • Instructor : Represents teachers or instructors who manage courses, upload course materials, grade assignments, and generate reports.
   • Administrator: Represents system administrators who have administrative privileges, such as managing user accounts, courses, and system settings.
2. Online Learning Management System:
   • The main system component encapsulates all the functionalities provided by the LMS.
3. Use Cases:
   • Login : Allows users (students, instructors, administrators) to log in to the system using their credentials.
   • View Course Catalog: Enables users to browse and view available courses in the system.
   • Enroll in Course : Allows students to enroll in courses they are interested in.
   • View Course Materials : Enables users to access course materials such as lecture notes, presentations, and videos.
   • Submit Assignment : Allows students to submit assignments for the courses they are enrolled in.
   • Grade Assignment : Enables instructors to grade assignments submitted by students.
   • Generate Report : Allows administrators to generate reports on various aspects of the system, such as user activity, course enrollment, and assignment grades.
4. Actor-Use Case Relationships:
   • Student: Can perform all use cases (login, view course catalog, enroll in course, view course materials, submit assignment).
   • Instructor: Can perform use cases related to managing courses and grading assignments (view course materials, submit assignment, grade assignment).
   • Administrator: Can perform the use case for generating reports (generate report).

Overall, this diagram provides a visual representation of the interactions between actors and the system’s functionalities in an Online Learning Management System

A crucial tool for both teachers and students in the current digital age is the Online Learning Management System (LMS). The centralised platform our system provides for online course delivery, content management, and progress monitoring transforms the way we teach and learn. Enabling instructors to design captivating learning experiences while giving students flexibility and accessibility is made possible by the LMS’s interactive capabilities and user-friendly interface. To improve the online learning experience, we shall examine the process of creating a System Requirements Specification (SRS) for an LMS.
