Project Synopsis

Student Streaming Service is a web-based stream selection application that enables students to choose their papers and streams, then view their timetable. This removes the burden of tedious manual data entry, saving both time and money for the Wellington Institute of Technology. The stream selection application also ensures that students are enrolled with the correct number of courses for the trimester whilst eliminating any possible conflicts in their chosen schedule. The application will need the student to register with their student ID and a valid email address and will be able to print their selected papers and streams once confirmed. A guest login is available for potential enrollees which allows them a view of possible timetables for the trimester. Some extra functionality also ensures that resources such as room capacity and student capacity are applied correctly.

The Institute's current timetabling system is a blend between a paper based and online system. The students will need to see the administrator to choose their streams for their labs and lectures, by registering their student ID on a sheet of paper representing the stream. The administrator will need to transfer this to their system for safekeeping and use. The online timetabling function is currently only designed for displaying which tutor and class is assigned to which room, when.
