Abstract
Advancements in Information Communication Technology (ICT) have led to several opportunities especially the ones provided by the Internet. Several people are now taking advantage of distance learning courses and in the past few years huge research efforts have been dedicated to the development of distance learning systems. So far, many e-learning systems are proposed and used practically. This paper focused on the development of an asynchronous and interactive Web-based e-learning system. Its primary objective is to develop a fast, reliable, effective and efficient web-based e-learning system that will address the problems associated with the traditional learning system. Succinctly, the paper discusses the design of a system that enhances e-learning where course lecturers can set their courses, tests and quizzes at their convenient time and can track the activities and performance of their students and guide them to acquire knowledge without being obliged to be physically present on the institution campus. The system was designed using PHP as the scripting language, Macromedia Dreamweaver for the web page, MySQL as the database and Apache as the web server. The system was implemented using real data and the result was successful. This system is no doubt a solution to the constraints of the classical learning system and can be used successfully in distance learning, training, and various educational institutions.
Highlights
The Internet has profoundly changed the way we communicate and interact with one another
Studies conducted by Pew Internet and American Life Project found that as of June 2005, 137 million Americans used the Internet, up from 63% one year ago [1]
E-learning is a general term used to refer to a form of learning in which the instructor and student are separated by space or time where the gap between the two is bridged through the use of online technologies
Summary
The Internet has profoundly changed the way we communicate and interact with one another. The introduction of the Intranet/Internet access in institutions of learning and organizations has encouraged the development of new mediums and systems within the scope of education and training. A web-based asynchronous e-learning system allows educators to develop web-based course notes, test and examination, to communicate with students and to monitor their progress. This work developed, implemented and proposed a simple web-based asynchronous e-learning system, in which educators can set teach and assess their students in form of quizzes and exams. The system will allow educators to store, update, and delete questions from the database using the web, in a very easy and simplified manner They will be able to track the activities of their students and can guide them to reach the predetermined objectives of the courses
