| dc.description.abstract | The rapid adoption of digital technologies in higher education has highlighted the need for
centralized platforms that can efficiently manage academic activities. At present, Sonargaon
University does not operate a dedicated Learning Management System, resulting in
fragmented academic processes that rely on manual methods and scattered digital tools.
These practices create challenges in course management, assignment handling,
communication, and academic record keeping. This project addresses these limitations
through the design and development of a web-based Learning Management System tailored
to the academic environment of Sonargaon University. The proposed system is developed
using the Django framework and follows a role-based architecture supporting three primary
user roles: Admin, Teacher, and Student. The Admin role manages user approval and system
oversight, ensuring controlled access and data security. Teachers are provided with
functionalities to create and manage courses, publish assignments, evaluate submissions, and
provide feedback. Students can register, enroll in courses, submit assignments, and monitor
their academic progress through a unified platform. The system integrates structured database
design, secure authentication, and clear separation of responsibilities to ensure reliability and
scalability. Standard software engineering methodologies were applied throughout the
project,
including requirement analysis, system modeling, architectural design,
implementation, and testing. Visual models such as flowcharts, ER diagrams, class diagrams,
and interaction designs were used to ensure clarity and consistency during development.
Functional and usability testing confirmed that the system performs reliably and meets its
intended objectives. The outcome of this project is a functional LMS prototype that
demonstrates the feasibility of implementing a centralized academic management system
using open-source technologies. The system improves transparency, reduces administrative
workload, and enhances the overall academic experience for students and teachers. This
project provides a strong foundation for future expansion and potential institutional adoption
