Kamala Nehru College – Case Study 2009
Objective
 The college wanted to upgrade their website in a way that could be managed by them in house.
 They wanted to empower all their staff to update the website for sections, yet maintain accountability.
 The college further wanted to automate a lot of internal communication to their students for faster
access.
Challenges
 The college staff / teachers were not equipped to update the website due to lack of technical knowledge.
 There was no central team who could update the website regularly on behalf of the teachers.
 Although they wanted to automate the communication to their students, yet wanted the same not to be
accessible publically.
Solution Provided
 We changed the entire website from a static version to a CMS driven version.
 We created multiple levels of Admin and provided individual controls to respective teachers.
 The site architecture was such that the every teacher could only update their own subject on the website.
 The website did not allow access to the teachers to modify the content on any other section apart from
what subjects they teach.
 The principal was given a higher level access where in they could not manage all the sections on the
website and also grant/revoke permissions from teachers for their individual access pages.
 The principal can also keep a track of the changes done by the respective teachers with a date and time
stamp.
 There was a password protected section on the website which only the current students could access
through a generic password given to them.
 The principal could update the notices and other communication for the students on the website and also
manage the generic student password from time to time
 Since we realized that the teachers and the staff did not have a technical background, they might need
some guidance in managing the entire software, we imparted a formal training to the entire staff on how
to manage the website and go about it.
 We further created a Super Admin whose access was not given to any teacher / principal but was for our
internal use, in case the college wanted any assistance in updating the website.
 We also created a section for Alumni where in old ex-students could enrol themselves and could get
regular Alumni related communication.
Results Achieved
 The college could now manage the website themselves.
 The frequency of changes on the website has increased because of this ease of access.
 With the amount of updations happening on the website, it has now been able to achieve a decent rank
in the search engines, without any marketing efforts.
 There is now a reason not only for the outside world to log on to the college website, but also for the
existing students to check on internal communications like Examination Results, Schedule, etc.
 There was no cost of getting the website updated through third party vendors.
