ONLINE MENTORING SYSTEM(AN ONLINE MENTOR-STUDENT

INTERACTION)

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Scope Of The Project

  The objective is to develop an

Online Mentoring System to promote and encourage students to actively participate in the academic activities.

Our project replaces the conventional and inconvenient method of clearing doubts in classes which involves the mentor and student to be physically present at the same time.

In this context arises the importance of our project. This project bridges the existing gap between mentor and students due to the time constraints.

 

1.2 Overview Of The Project

  The Online Mentoring System (OMS) provides an

online forum for mentor-student communication.

The users are administrator, student and mentor.

Existing System

Conventional method of sending course-ware through postal systems.

E-mail services wherein the sender and receiver can communicate if they know each other’s e-mail ids.

 

LIMITATIONS

Conventional systems leave a huge gap in interactions

among faculty/trainers and students.

In the present system of mailing questions and answer it

is required that the sender requires to know the mail id of

the receiver.

Conventional systems require the mentor and the

student to be physically present at the same place at the

same time.

Proposed System:

It is an online interaction between mentor and student.

The teacher can post questions and students should answer them.

Thus we can improve the student’s academic performance

Features:In the proposed system, we intend to develop a web-based application providing the necessary services and online training to empower students.

Students are assigned frequencies automatically based on the marks obtained by them.

The registered teachers can post assignments for each grade and value them.

The registered students can post queries online and get their responses from the mentors.

The students should post their answers for the assignments given to them within the specified date.

Advantages of Proposed System

It is easier method for efficient interaction between student

and mentor

The conventional method is time consuming and often prove

inefficient. Hence this system manages time more effectively.

It bridges the gap between mentor and the student.

It encourages doubts and hence enhances the knowledge

level of student.

Mentors are able to give assignments online, thereby

providing an online platform .
