Online Classroom Management System (OCMS) - Group Project

(Source Code: Frontend Repo, Backend Repo)

For our Software Engineering course, our team developed an Online Classroom Management System (OCMS) from scratch. The goal was to create a platform that helps teachers and students manage classes, assignments, and lectures all online in a seamless way.

About the Project

The system is divided into two parts — the frontend and the backend.

The frontend is built with React.js and Redux for state management. We used Tailwind CSS to style the app quickly and make it responsive.

The backend uses Node.js and Express.js with MongoDB as the database. It handles authentication, course data, assignment submissions, and APIs that the frontend consumes.

Implementation Details

On the frontend, React components manage the UI and Redux handles global states like user info and courses. Tailwind made styling fast without writing lots of CSS.

The backend exposes REST APIs using Express and connects to MongoDB for storing data. We structured routes for users, courses, and assignments with proper authentication and role-based access control.

Demo

Here’s a screen shot.

Challenges and Learnings

Managing global state with Redux was tricky at first, especially handling async calls. Designing secure and efficient APIs took some iterations.

Tailwind CSS sped up frontend development a lot compared to traditional CSS.

We also learned how to deploy both frontend and backend on Vercel for easy hosting.

Conclusion

Building OCMS was a great experience combining frontend and backend tech. It gave me a better understanding of full-stack development using modern tools and workflows.
