The personnel involved in the EClass project are organized into the following groups and subgroups:
End users are those who use the EClass software for it's intended purpose. Teachers use the EClass software to organize, take notes, and present presentations to students. Students can view and take notes on teacher presentations but also have the ability to organize and present their own presentaitons to both other students and teachers.
The primary customer is Gene Fisher. He is customer representative for his faculty and staff colleagues in the Computer Science department at the California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. In this representative capacity, Fisher will consult with other potential customers to gather requirements from them, and integrate their requirements with his own.
The primary system developer is also Gene Fisher. His development activities are all those of the software development process, from requirements analysis through product implementation and deployment. He will also conduct the ongoing process activities of testing, configuration, documentation, and project management.
Fisher's development efforts are based on the work of a number of software engineering students who have used the EClass software as a class project in software engineering courses. Students whose work has been particularly helpful are Gabe Villalobos, Jon Uder, Luke Plewa, Marie Grap, Robert Crosby, and Austin Munsch.
The EClass software is intended to serve as an example for use in software engineering courses. The students who use the EClass software for this purpose focus on the artifacts of its development rather than its use as a functioning tool.
The EClass software is intended as public domain software for use by outside parties.
