In phpEdu there are a number of concepts to understand which hopefully will give an overview of the features of the application and in later sections of this documentation, we will try and show how to make use of them.

The application is for managing institutions of higher learning such as universities and colleges. As it is based on Drupal it can be used to run different kinds of educational sites but it's primarily aimed at tertiary centres of learning. As such, we will be referring to "university" or "college". Different users are expected: students, members of the academic or teaching staff - called teachers or lecturers, non-academic staff - referred to as staff, alumni or graduates and other visitors to the site or people who have no direct relationship to the university e.g. book authors
