At its most basic level, this business is very simple. Some users create exams and other users take the exams.

The goal of this application (tentatively called 'Know-itall') is to create a business providing online education system where the exams are created by the users themselves.

Phase one will focus primarily on providing a platform for young students.

## Deliverables

Hello coders, thanks for reviewing this project. I strongly encourage you to make an offer, we will be selecting someone to go ahead and we're really excited about this project.

_Business Model_

With a view to building the user base and the course content, the site will initially be free.

Revenue will be created through Google advertising together with income from the associated smartphone application that will access the same database of content (the smartphone app is not part of this project).

_Name_

The business will be referred to in this document as 'Know-itall' this may change during the development process.

_Target Market:_

Students of all ages, although the primary focus will be on ages 5-15 where the interactive animated characters will be most appealing. This is one of the core competitive advantages.

_General Technical Requirements_

The application will be developed using ASP.NET and SQL Server 2005 on our servers and databases. The credentials will be supplied before development commences. The animated characters will be provided using [url removed, login to view]'s API.

We have other sites that employ these animated characters and we can assist with this technology.

_Business Requirements_

General:

* All pages (apart from actual exams in progress) will display integrated Google advertising

* All input boxes will contain all standard format checking and error handling

* Graphic templates for the website are currently in development and will be provided to the developers.

* All pages, links, buttons, grids, headers, emails and any other material generated must conform to the designated colors, backgrounds, fonts and theme.

* The sections below are broken into logical areas and webpages flowing from those areas. However the application may require more pages to display the information logically.

** 1) Know-itall Home/landing area**

* The home page should describe the concept for both students and examiners and encourage them to register for free.*

* Facebook integration, recent Facebook posts from the ***know-itall*** facebook page will be integrated with the homepage

* login area for all users

* include password recovery routine

_Exam Search Page_

* Need to be able to perform keyword searches for current (non-expired) exams by topics, schools, owners/creators, grade/education level, estimated completion time , exam release date and course name, qualification, private/public exam (see section 3) or any combination of the above. The results should also be sortable/filterable by these criteria in addition to the total number of times the exams have been taken by other students.

* Display exam ratings, pass rates, incorrect question flag percentages to help students determine whether they want to take that particular exam and link to high scores page (see high scores page below)

_Registration Page_

* We will ask for full name, email, password, DOB, country, level of education, current school/class/teacher, university, interests, Facebook link etc, position, business name (if representing a training organisation),

* allow users to upload a personal photo and/or an image representing their business (if they have one)

* allow content creators to add blurb about their training organisation or qualifications

* There will be a user agreement to affect that they take responsibility for the ownership of any content they are uploading and that they have the permission from any intellectual property owners. The coder may substitute some temporary text for the time being.

* we will require email verification

**2) User home area**

* login using email/password

* a published version (C.V) of each users home page should be available to anonymous viewers who want to determine which exams have been passed (potential employers, parents, teachers, classmates etc). The URL should take the form [url removed, login to view]

* if the user is a content creator then the published home page should also display a list of published exams and a blurb about their training organisation or qualifications
