INTRODUCTION
Teaching and learning system is a deliberate intervention that assists in effective planning
and implementation of educational activities and experiences of teaching that helps in meeting
the expected outcomes according to the plan (Sung, Chang & Liu, 2016). The present report is
based on a case study in which a Total Learning System (TLS) is to be prepared for High Quality
Institute, a technological educational establishment that provided different courses in
Information Technology. In order to accomplish this aim, a work breakdown system will be
described in this study. In addition to this, PERT/CPM chart will also be developed to identify
the starting, ending and time consumption of a task. Besides this, a class diagram will be
prepared with the help of data model diagram to represent the student registration. Further, the
development cost of the overall project will be calculated.
1. Functional and non-functional requirements of TLS.
Functional Requirements: It deals with the ability of the system to perform the operations. It
includes the description of the required functions and details of the data that are to be held in the
system (Coronel, & Morris, 2016). It is a set of inputs, behaviours and outputs. In designing of
TLS, the functional requirements are as follows:
 Import and organise media elements: It is required in TLS to import various type of files
such as video, image, HTML, etc. It works on the specifications provided by the user. In
addition to this they should then convert the selected elements into a compatible format.
 Synchronising the media element: TLS also performs the synchronisation of the files that
are converted in the user compatible format (Al-Samarraie, Selim & Zaqout, 2016).
 Preview: This tool will assist the users to preview the presentation at any point when it
will be created. It is required in a TLS to have a preview tab, selecting which the user can
reach the preview screen.
 Publish: With the help of this tactic, the system will be able to generate a HTML page
hosting the multimedia presentation.
 Attendance: TLS should provide the measurement and reporting of attendance of the
students and staff.
 Coursework management: The system is demanded to have the calibre of managing
coursework (Al-Samarraie, Selim, & Zaqout, 2016).

 Risk Plan: A risk plan will be prepared to deal with the situations in which the plan fails.
For instance: The preview option does not work or any virus attacks the system. This is
the most important phase of development of a system. It helps in providing alternatives
that can reduce the challenges.
 Option: Options for learners should be managed. For different levels, namely
Undergraduate and postgraduate, these choices should be recorded appropriately.
 Authentication: TLS should identify all the students uniquely and verified. For this, it is
needed to insert the registration number along with a security question.
 Installing and configuring email: The learning system should be equipped with the option
of mailing so that students can ask their doubts through them. Also, they are helpful in
transmitting the important messages and a good tool communicate.
 Web services: The system should be capable of supporting web services protocols.
 Information management: The teaching and learning system should consist sorted form
of information. The details are required to match the course title. Also, proper
representation is needed to prevent the situation of vague.
 Course Details Management: In this, following things will be checked: does the course
code and content matches, the relevancy of the course. Further, depending upon two
different segments that is ULS and PLS, it will be sorted.
Non functional requirements describes the method in which the software will perform the
tasks. These requirements in TLS involves the following:
 Performance Requirements: It is required that the software should perform its tasks in a
consistent manner despite of the environment of Operating System. It is needed that the
time consumption for importing the files and publishing the multimedia presentation
should be nominal (Kulik, & Fletcher, 2016).
 Safety Requirements: The present system does not pose threat in any way and thus, it is
not applied in TLS.
 Security Requirements: To prevent any risk striking the system, a security plan is
essential. This plan will involve the methods of troubleshooting various errors that may
arise while using the system. In addition to this, passwords and Student IDs will also
developed in this phase so that their personal information can not be accessed by any one.
In present system, a security question will be asked along with registration details.
