| Summary, etc |
Electronic learning or E-learning is a general term used to refer computer-enhanced learning . It is<br/>used interchangeably in so many contexts that it is critical to be clear what on means when one<br/>speaks of ‘eLearning’. In many respects, it is commonly associated with the field of advanced<br/>learning technology, which deals with both the technologies and associated methodologies in<br/>learning using networked and/or multimedia. The design and implementation of an E-Learning<br/>web portal was the main aspect of this project and is aimed towards creating a database that would<br/>store most of the online courses and also storing each and every student personal information,<br/>which would be used to create a profile for them in other to access most features on the E-learning<br/>platform. This project solved the problem of appearance in the class room to avoid face to face<br/>interaction thereby reducing the time and effort it takes from the user’s residence to the class room.<br/>The objective of the study was to design and implement an interactive electronic learning system.<br/>A suitable software development life cycle (waterfall model) that cosist of five(5) stages was used<br/>in the development of the system because of its departmentalization and control. Sublime text<br/>would was used as a development environment for the backend technology and XAMPP Control<br/>Panel(Cross-Platform Apache MySQL PHP and Perl) for the database environment. Both<br/>username and password were the authentication methods used to enable the user access to the elearning web portal.<br/>The result showed that the e-learning system had helped to reduce the problem of appearance in<br/>the class room which avoided face to face interaction, and as such, reduced the time and effort it<br/>takes the user to move from his/her residence to the class room. Also, users’ information is being<br/>maintained in case of emergency by contacting the administrator,<br/>The combination of distinct safety approaches towards e-learning web portal has been noted to be<br/>a useful strategy, but it also difficult to maintain as well as increasing development expenses.<br/>Therefore, this project recommends that adequate measures should be taken when maintaining the<br/>software in other to prevent future failure. |
