School web portal as a means of parent-teacher communication

The article presents preliminary results of a project concerned with designing a specific web portal, including its verification in practice. The portal is designed for the purposes of mutual communication between the teacher and the pupil's parent and for the information search. Based on the analysis of user requirements, appropriate portal functionalities have been selected and incorporated. These include, inter alia, simplicity, reliability, quality and speed. A feasibly designed and practically commissioned portal has proved to bring an expected increase in communication efficiency. The paper also outlines possibilities of introducing new features to increase the efficiency of the portal intended for the parent-teacher communication. As the next step in designing the web portal solution, an extension of the system is expected to include new users of the pupil rank.
