A popular ecology teaching program in the world, used by tens of thousands of students each year in hundreds of universities. Our project was to port the existing Mac-PowerPlant application to Windows-MFC target.
The next versions had various feature additions like construction where user can define his own layouts, integrated Test and Evaluation process, searchable HTML help browser etc. Our project was to develop it on Mac (PowerPlant) and Windows (MFC) with keeping much of the codebase common.

This was an add-on module for evaluating the test papers taken by the students from within the Biology teaching application. This was basically a desktop application where teachers can open taken test papers visually and then do evaluation and marking. At the end, the application can send the evaluated papers back to the students through email, thereby completing the whole cycle of test and evaluation.

This project involved the development of an website for school children that is dedicated to the Mathematics subject. It provides online quizzes and
competitions to the end-user where one can solve various problems and questions put forwarded. It provides a common platform for all the schools to share their knowledge and improve the problem solving ability of students.

This project involved the development of a website for school children and home users that is dedicated to the Mathematics subject. It provides pre-assessment tests for judging initial understanding of students and automatic placement to grades according to the results. Students learn through online streaming videos on various levels of the course and quizzes with animated and graphical implementation of real life problems. Finally students take up post-assessment tests. The test results can be seen as tabular and graphical reports that help the Instructors to keep track of the overall improvement and performance of the students.

The Optical Mark Recognition and Barcode Reader Java Utility is developed for customer who deals with preparing test sets for students for developing their mathematics knowledge and ability to solve the problem.

The utility is used to read the optical marked answer sheets along with the barcode and match the test set in the database and evaluates the correct answers based on the database and precompiled templates. The utility has the ability to process thousands of optical marked answer sheets simultaneously and store the evaluation of sheets in the database. It also has a special feature to evaluate the incorrectly scanned answer sheets. It also can correctly process sheets with rotation (clockwise and anticlockwise) during the scanning process. It can also be configured to run as a service in the background and starts processing when it gets an answer sheet image. The utility is platform independent and can run on any platform having a Java runtime installed.

This is an application designed to improve the mathematics skills of students. In general, the application is used to generate test, review answers, assign/monitor drills. Application is separated into following sections:

Administration section:

This section helps to manage following information:

1. Manage area (district) information for which school(s) information can be added.

2. Manage school information.

3. It has the functionality to import the dependent information, such as Teacher, Class, Student, and Drills etc.

4. Manage question(s) for generating a test paper for teacher(s).

5. Manage test(s) for teacher(s) which can be used by teachers for their students.

General section:

This is the section can be accessed by different types of users, such as Teacher, School Staff, Monitor etc.

1. A teacher can generate test for the students, review results, assign drills, if not satisfied with result, assign additional instruction by reviewing the result, view notes added for students, view evaluation for the drill work assigned.

2. A staff can add monitor for school, create / change calendar of monitor for their availability, assign / change monitor of a student.

3. A monitor can download the drills for session with student scheduled, evaluate the drill session with student, and rescheduled the session with student.
