Centralised Information System (CIS)

About CIS

CIS is an educational platform where students can easily browse courses from various other MOOC platforms. We centralize course browsing and on top of that provide a recommendation system that can help you decide what course you want to take up based on your past learning and what you intend to learn. CIS also features a fully fledged Course Enrollment system where Instructors can host their course on our platform and get students enrolled in the system. We also have a discussion forum where students can interact with other students and instructors in real-time. Forums are created based on populor demand by SuperAdmins. For the administration , CIS provides a fully functional administrative dashboard that provides insights into all database activities.
