General Introduction
Overview of the EduNext Platform
EduNext is an intelligent and innovative e-learning platform designed to revolutionize
education by integrating advanced technologies and user-centric features. By leveraging microservices
architecture and implementing AI-driven functionalities using free tools, EduNext provides a
comprehensive and accessible solution for learners, educators, and organizations worldwide.
Purpose of the Project
The primary purpose of EduNext is to create a dynamic and personalized educational
environment that adapts to the needs of its users. The platform addresses the limitations of traditional e-
learning systems by introducing key features such as personalized course recommendations, gamified
learning experiences, virtual classrooms, and mentorship programs. EduNext aims to make education
engaging, efficient, and inclusive for all.
Vision and Goals of the Platform
• Vision:
To democratize education through intelligent technology, fostering lifelong learning
and global collaboration while aligning with the following SDGs:
SDG 4: Quality Education – Ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education for all.
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – Leveraging technology to enhance
educational infrastructure.
SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – Collaborating with global institutions to achieve
educational equity.
• Goals :
1. Enhance Accessibility: Provide a platform that bridges the gap for learners worldwide,
irrespective of socioeconomic backgrounds.
2. Promote Engagement: Utilize gamification, virtual classrooms, and personalized
content to create an interactive learning experience.
3. Support Lifelong Learning: Encourage continuous personal and professional
development through mentorship programs and dynamic educational resources.
4. Foster Collaboration: Build a community-driven platform that connects learners,
educators, and institutions for shared growth and knowledge.
Problem Statement
Identification of the current challenges in e-learning:
Traditional e-learning platforms face key challenges that impact both user experience and
learning outcomes. A lack of personalized learning paths results in a one-size-fits-all approach, failing
to meet individual needs. Digital certificates are prone to forgery, raising concerns about their
credibility. Many platforms lack adequate accessibility features for users with disabilities, limiting
participation. Payment options are often limited, creating barriers for users without access to traditional
methods. Finally, low user engagement due to the absence of interactive features, such as gamification
or challenges, reduces motivation and active participation.

Non-Functional Requirements
1. Usability
• Description: The platform should provide a simple, intuitive interface that makes it easy for
users to navigate and interact with the system.
• Implementation:
o Angular: Use Angular Material or Bootstrap to create a responsive and user-friendly
interface. Angular’s component-based architecture allows for reusable, consistent UI
elements that can enhance usability.
o Spring Boot: Ensure the API responses are well-structured and easy to understand for
the front-end developers. Use clear and standardized RESTful endpoints to enable
seamless interaction with the front-end.
2. Maintainability
• Description: The platform should be easy to maintain and extend as new features are added or
changes are made to existing functionalities.
• Implementation:
o Angular: Follow best practices like using modular components, services, and directives
to make the codebase more maintainable. Utilize TypeScript to enforce strong typing
and reduce errors during development.
o Spring Boot: Use Spring Boot’s convention-over-configuration philosophy, which
simplifies development and maintenance. Implement clear API documentation with
Swagger to facilitate easier collaboration between front-end and back-end teams.
3. Security
• Description: Protect user data and platform functionality from unauthorized access, ensuring
that both user and system data are secure.
• Implementation:
o Angular: Use HTTPS for secure communication between the client and server.
Implement Angular's built-in HTTP interceptor for token-based authentication (JWT)
to secure API calls and ensure proper session management.
o Spring Boot: Leverage Spring Security for role-based access control (RBAC), ensuring
that different types of users (learners, instructors, admins) have appropriate
permissions. Additionally, implement password hashing (e.g., BCrypt) and use secure
token authentication (JWT) for API access.
Global architecture
To ensure a seamless and efficient experience, the platform is designed with a comprehensive
architecture that encompasses both the physical and logical components
1. Physical Architecture
2. Logical Architecture
Diagram
1. Use Case Diagram:
The Use Case Diagram visualizes the functional requirements of the system from the user's
perspective. It highlights the different user roles and their interactions with the platform's features,
providing a clear overview of how the system supports user goals and activities.
2. Class Diagram:
The Class Diagram outlines the structure of the system by depicting its key entities, their
attributes, and the relationships between them. It is essential for understanding how different
components of the platform interact at the object-oriented level and how the system is organized.
