ABSTRACT

In the last few decades, education has witnessed some advances in technologies involving computer-aided learning that promises to drastically change the methods of teaching and learning. The conventional classroom-based teaching has had its limitations, focused on the four walls of an institution. Hence it imposes a constraint of time and place on both the instructor and the student. Due to human factor arising from the traditional classroom method, the lecturer may not always be able to put in optimum effort towards preparing and delivering course materials. This paper is to create an advanced learning management system not limited by location, which allows easy access to course materials and contents in a flexible learning environment at the click of a button, targeted at all individuals keen on learning. The World Wide Web has played a major role in information storage and dissemination in the educational community. Conventional classroom-based teaching involves the delivery of course materials by the lecturer in a particular place at a defined time. Hence it imposes a constraint of time and place on both the instructor and the student. Due to human factor arising from the traditional classroom method, the lecturer may not always be able to put in optimum effort towards preparing and delivering course materials. The objective of this paper is to develop a learning management system to enhance learning for individuals, students etc. The system was developed for all platforms, available as a windows software built with Electron-is, web application built with Python and Django Framework and a mobile application built with Adobe cordova.
