Virtual Campus Modeling with UML

In this study, virtual campus model for student centered and web-based distance education system is carried out using unified modeling language (UML) supported by animations, video conferencing, mobile technologies and augmented reality. The model contains 4+1 views. The phases of the software process of the model are modeled with the different UML diagrams. In this model, firstly, actors of the model are described and actors and their roles are demonstrated by state diagrams. Then, use case diagrams and class diagrams are shown. In addition, events and the sequence of activities are displayed by activity diagrams. Finally, hardware components and nodes are depicted by deployment diagrams. Making a good modeling during the design and analysis phase, avoids problems that may arise in the software process. Web-based system supported by technological innovations is an ideal educational model when combined with the cost advantages of distance education.
