WEEK-1

AIM: To write the problem statement for the online course reservation system
PROBLEM STATEMENT: Online Course Reservation System
BACKGROUND: Educational institutions, online learning platforms, and training centers face
significant challenges in efficiently managing the enrollment process for their courses. In
many cases, the course reservation process is manual, prone to errors, and lacks real-time
updates on availability and schedules. These inefficiencies can lead to double bookings,
confusion, missed deadlines, and administrative overhead, all of which can negatively impact
both students and administrators.
2: The existing process for course registration and reservation in many institutions is
fragmented, time-consuming, and error-prone. Students often struggle to find updated
course information, experience delays in securing their spots, and are sometimes unable to
register due to overbooked or unavailable classes. Moreover, administrative staff often face
difficulties in managing course availability, tracking enrollments, processing payments, and
communicating important updates to students in a timely manner.

The lack of an integrated, automated solution results in inefficiencies, increased

administrative burden, and a poor user experience for both students and course providers.
These issues not only affect the operational effectiveness of the institution but also diminish
the overall student experience and satisfaction.
OBJECTIVE: The goal of the Online Course Reservation System is to create a streamlined,
efficient, and user-friendly platform that automates the course reservation and enrollment
process. The system should:
• Allow students to easily browse available courses, view real-time availability, and
register or reserve spots in desired courses.
• Provide administrators with an intuitive dashboard to manage course offerings, track
student registrations, monitor seat availability, and process payments.
• Ensure real-time updates on course availability to prevent overbooking and provide
accurate, up-to-date information.

• Integrate secure payment gateways to enable students to pay for courses online,
receive confirmation, and manage financial transactions.

• Send notifications and reminders to students about important deadlines, course

changes, and other critical information.

• Generate reports and analytics for administrators to assess course popularity, student
engagement, and financial transactions.
By addressing these issues, the Online Course Reservation System will improve the overall
efficiency of course enrollment, reduce administrative errors, enhance communication, and
provide a seamless experience for students and staff alike.
SCOPE:
• The system will support the browsing of course catalogs, user registration and login,
course reservations, secure online payments, and notification management.
• An admin panel will allow course management, enrollment tracking, and data
analytics.
• The system will be scalable to handle increasing user traffic and course offerings.
