Section 1: Product Overview and Summary

 

A great deal of information on certain topics can be gained through the use of surveys. The International Online Survey (IOS) system will provide users with the ability to create and take surveys through a web-based program.  Teachers will be able to create surveys and give them to their students and students will be able to take these surveys quickly and easily. Both types of users will be able to view survey results to gain the data they need or desire. Administrators will oversee this program and maintain functionality of the IOS.

 

This document will be centered around the final program and it subsequent testing.

 

Section 2: Subprogram Interface Specifications

 

The modules included with the International Online Survey are the Administrator, the Teacher, the Student, and the Anonymous [user].  These four modules or users work independently of one another, while some of the data they create is shared through the database.  Each user does their specific tasks to create the desired outcome of functionality from the International Online Survey.
