Introduction
Due To the difficulty that we face to get the materials of the courses that we study in
the diploma like pdf, power point, and sound files, because there is no site to upload
the studied materials. As a result, we attempt to create an educational social web site to
manage not only the educational process for students in post graduate studies to obtain
all the necessary materials in an easy way, but also to facilitate communication
between students and doctors. This is accomplished through the implementation of the
Student Community Web Site project on the academic diploma at the Institute of
Statistical Studies and Research process.

Project background

Most of social media sites offer features to communicate people with each other in
different fields like Facebook or sharing their experience in the same field like Google
Plus and forums.

In this project, we add to the social features a learning feature in addition to the social
one. This feature allows students of educational institution to share and exchange
materials concerning courses with their doctors.

Problem statement

groups, messenger or forum. The Student Community Web Site allows students to
access courses materials not only from one place but also from a single site.
