Detailed Description

Complexity of a system involves in the multiple loops which bind the entire system together. Often a complex system takes a longer duration for a user to get a hold of it, which results in errors and time consumption. When it comes to looking for a system design for a bigger organization, where multiple players are involved in the process and each one is assigned a different role to be played, the entire process becomes multi fold, and therefore it becomes essential to understand the complexity involved at each stage, and in order to create a larger impact, it is also necessary to understand the need of creating a system in first place and also the problems which it would cater to. Understanding which, would help in finding the right solution to the problem. The model of Teach for India is a threefold process wherein major role is played by the facilitators of the organization, followed by the teachers and the students. Role of each player differs from other in some or the other way and therefore coming up with a system design, which caters to everyone’s requirements and providing them with relevant information. It also requires understanding of the interconnections and links within the system. The project aims at understanding the need gaps in the existing manual process and coming out with a new system design to facilitate the networking between the three major players i.e. The facilitators, teachers and students involved with ‘Teach For India’ foundation. As the entire system is currently being done manually, the project also aims at creating a new online system which could reduce the extra amount of work done in a manual process and also providing the right information at the right time along with making access to the required information and validating and authenticating it at the same time reducing the chances of flaws in the process.
