Abstract Details

2012, Master of Computer Science, Miami University, Computer Science and Software Engineering.
This thesis suggests a software architecture for a video discussion board using the Online Language Environment (OLE) Board as a case study. A more suitable architecture will enable it to meet its goals. Goals for the new board are to support future developers and users. Developer-oriented goals are ease of readability, maintenance, and enhancement. User-oriented goals are ease of use, new or improved features such as data collection, and enhanced security. The old system is out of date, making planned expansion difficult. The new system uses a Model-View-Controller architecture utilizing updated frameworks. Updated protocols based on XML were introduced, and elements were added to allow for new features. Developer goals have been met with minimal drawbacks. The new board was used by 42 students at the University of Aizu and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. New features proved useful and security was increased, with some decrease in usability during initial testing.
