SecureEd: Dynamic Education Platform

- Can a developer achieve both security requirements and the ultimate user experience?

- Is it possible to create an educational platform that was built with the user being the center?

- In a digital world, how can we securely develop a platform that feels more like a community?

This project is divided into three parts:

1- Website development (front-end and back-end)

2- Designing and developing the database system

3- Applying security measures to the website


Here is a breakdown of my structure:

Idea [What was required]

The project aimed to develop a comprehensive educational platform with distinct functionalities for administrators, teachers, and students, ensuring secure access, content creation, exam management, and user interaction.

My Intention

The primary objective was to craft a robust educational platform that facilitates user-specific functionalities, emphasizing security measures to protect data and ensure smooth user experiences.

Initial Thoughts

Before starting, considerations revolved around envisioning a secure, user-friendly educational space, addressing potential challenges in access control, database development and design, and system security.

Pre-production Steps

The pre-production phase involved thorough research on educational platform needs, planning system functionalities for different user roles, database relations and identifying security requirements.

Production Steps

The production phase focused on implementing the platform's functionality, using front-end and back-end technologies, and ensuring robust security measures to the code.

Security Measures Applied

Some of the security measures applied in the website:

Brute Force protection, data encryption, XSS protection, access management, strong password policy

Post-production Steps

After the primary development, the focus shifted to testing against user and system requirements, evaluating system effectiveness, and generating comprehensive technical and user documentation.

Visualization

The visualization showcased a functional website with secure login features, interactive content creation interfaces for teachers, exam management tools, and user-friendly interfaces for students.
