ForumIT+Closure+Report

Firstly, we have created a PHP Forum called FORUMIT for our department, Information Technology. The forum includes all the courses which are available this Fall 2010/2011 semester.
 * Project Closure **

Each section of the forum has one course. In each section, we have one topic related to the teacher's course(s) and other topics are extra materials for the same course.

The Project was carried out smoothly and is currently in operation. The Project is divided into four groups and has different responsibilities. After the group selection, we worked as a team. We followed the Project scope and charter which contains Project objective, goals, stakeholders, start date and completion date. Everyone in the team was assigned tasks and most of the team members did their best. Some of the members were late in completing their tasks but we solved this problem while managing the Project.

With good management we finished the Project on time but our job did not finish because of risks. For the risks, we used the admin for rules in ForumIT. So this way we minimized and solved the risks.

In order to have a lot of members of The ForumIT, we decided to make posters and announcements in some famous internet web sites like Facebook and Wiki; this way, we achieved our goal.

This Project was very helpful and relevant for us. We learned a lot of things like managing the Project, using time, communicating with the team members and the successes of the project.

The advantages of FORUMIT 1. Have a place where students can get more information about each course in IT. 2. Having place where students can say their problems and opinions about courses. 3. Find the help from other older students in the department about the courses. 4. Provide the place where students can find extra learning materials and examples. 5. Provide easier way to find all related topics in IT without googling and searching the web. 6. Place where students who have graduated can still add their thoughts, experiences and even memories. 7.Create a network within the students to enhance collaboration.

Steps to improve FORUMIT 1. Research to improve and update the forum 2. Get teachers feedback 3. Move all Moderator’s rights to new students that will offer the course next semester 4. Get more members in FORUMIT 5. Motivate teachers to become members in FOURMIT5- keep work and write in FORUMIT 6. Create flyers and posters to attract members.

Finally, we have done everything we can for FORUMIT to be very active, all that is left is for IT students to use and improve it.
