Otts documentation

This Wiki/Project is a work in progress and is subject to change.

INTRODUCTION

Synopsis

oTTs, On-Time Timesheets, is an online system that allows Professors and Students to work collaboratively on System Design Projects. Seneca College's Computer Studies Department emphasizes strong team building skills, as achieves this through team projects. In the past, student and team progress have been monitored and maintained using conventional word processing documents. These conventional methods have proven to be difficult to synchronize between group members, and tended to lack substantial effort from those who were required to use them. oTTs creates an online environment where Professors and Students can work together to create and maintain Personal Timesheets and Group Project Files. By allowing easy maintenance of Projects and Students for the Professor, and simple manipulation functionality of Timesheets and Project Files for Students, oTTs takes the large task of Project maintenance, and makes it simple for all of those involved.
