Abstract

In this paper, teaching a course is modeled as a collection of business processes. Eduoutreach comprises of four such business processes, viz., (1) Distribute courseware - This application enables a faculty to distribute courseware pertaining to a specific course to all students taking that course, (2) Student Help Desk - A help desk enabling a student to get help from faculty to resolve a specified problem pertaining to a specific course, (3) Conduct test - This application enables a faculty to conduct a test / examination on a specified course, (4) Rate the course - A faculty can launch this application to get a course taught by himself / herself rated by the students taking that course. Eduoutreach has been implemented in the cloud as a SaaS (Software as a Service) application.
