DIBANISA WEBSITE WORLDWIDE HELP


Hilltop Empowerment center is in the process of developing a website for a schools network. The schools network consists of a number of different rural schools.

Dibanisa Web Project Report

Description of project:

The Dibanisa web project will be divided into different sub-systems: The main website, Satellite websites & the client systems. These sub-systems will be discussed at a later stage.

The goals and functions of the project are multi-faceted:
 To provide a resource center.
 Online Networking
 Student Tracking
 Reporting systems
 Social Networking
 Schools Promotion & facilitation of creating an 'old-boys' network.(*)

All these goals are achieved by developing a series of modules which would be attached to the primary website.
*School promotion is achieved by providing each school that signs up for the project a website of their own. Each website's content is managed by a content management system which makes it the given schools responsibility to populate.


Client Systems

The client systems are currently only an idea and as such are not off the ground. We need a whole host of information:
 Research into current school systems.
 Research on the structure of current schools databases.

What we need from those willing to help (& we have people from all over the world working on this project) is for you to help us colate all this inforamtion for the schools.
