& System Specifications
1.1
System Objectives
MediTrak uses the Blackboard Information System to keep track of Siena College Health Professions student’s information. Each User/Student is able to register in one of the following eleven categories on the system: Chiropractic, Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Optometry, Osteopathic Medicine, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant, Podiatry, and Veterinary Medicine.
Each user is able to modify and add content only to their
account on the Blackboard database.
MediTrak helps organize and keep track of the progress of each Health
Professions student as they seek admission in graduate programs in the Health
Professions. User/Student accounts have
limited access in the Blackboard system.
The Administrator account is able to create, modify, and view each
student’s progress throughout his/her academic career at
The Health Professions website has been created as a reference for the Health Professions students and all external users interested in the Health Professions career fields. The site will be maintained and kept up to date by Dr. LaRow and staff to remind students of deadlines and other news items of importance.
1.2 Hardware, Software, and Human Interface
Blackboard’s System has been configured for use with our MediTrak project. All the data stored in Blackboard by the User and Administrators will be saved on Blackboard’s Database. All users will work on the system through a web browser, Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape Navigator 7.0, and Opera 7.0, since Blackboard will be accessed through a web interface.
1.3 Major Software Functions
MediTrak gives Dr. LaRow an electronic means to keep track of the Health Professions students he advises. The different features we have provided in the control panel of Blackboard gives Dr. LaRow the necessary functionality to maintain the progress of any student in his program. The Health Professions website offers information for external individuals who may be interested in the Health Professions program.
1.4 Externally Defined Database
MediTrak uses Blackboard’s Database, which is built into the Blackboard system.
1.5 Major Design Constraints and Limitations
A major constraint for developing MediTrak has been the limited flexibility we have to totally customize the system to the needs of the Health Professions. Blackboard is the creation of another development team; we have only been able to configure and work within their system to accommodate for our client’s needs in designing MediTrak. Time has been another constraint the development team of MediTrak has faced, since each phase of the project must be completed by its appropriate time on the project time line we have provided our clients.
