In phpEdu there are a number of concepts which help in understanding how the application works.

The application is for managing institutions of higher learning such as universities and colleges. Since it is based on the Drupal framework, the aim is to make the system as flexible as possible in order to be useful for running different kinds of educational sites. However, the primary target is aimed at tertiary institutions of learning. As such, we will be referring to "university" or "college". Based on this demography, expected users fall into one or more of these categories: 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. next-of-kin of members and students.
