Design And Implementation Of ‘Software As A Service’ (SAAS) Based E-learning Platform

Abstract

In this design, ane-learning platform for scholars in colorful fields was designed from reviewing applicable literatures with the points of appreciatively revolutionizing the educational process by making education much more practical, and applicability- grounded as w annex as effectively bridging the gap between scholars, seminaries, and their teachers preceptors. Looking at information and technological trends in the world, information and operation technology needs to be delivered on the go. thus, the system was designed considering effectiveness, satisfaction, detention, crimes etc. The cascade software development approach was espoused( because of its iterative nature) and Data were collected grounded on some unshaped interviews on lot and some general compliances of beinge-learning web platform as well as general online computing. Also, methodical and theoretical analyses in the styles applied in the work generally encompassed generalities similar as paradigms, theoretical models, faces and qualitative ways. Technologies used in perpetration were JavaScript, PHP( for the reverse- end design), HTML & CSS( for frontal- end design) and MySQL( for database operation).

Background Of Study

still and whatever our dispositions are to education, it becomes imperative to note that the more effective and briskly the nature of education and literacy, the better and more productive the results will be. E-learning is an extremely significant( but deficient) subset of educational technology. The origins of the term isn’t certain, although it’s suggested that the term most probably began during the 1980’s, within the analogous time frame of another delivery mode online literacy. Nichols( 2003) definese-Learning as rigorously learning that’s possible by using technological tools that are moreover web- grounded, web- distributed, or web-able. Ellis( 2004) added to this description thate-learning also makes use of audio and video, satellite broadcast and interactive television and it isn’t rigorously achieved through web- grounded means as defined by Nichols( 2003).

The e- part of the terme-earning doesn’t inescapably mean electronic as pere-mail or ecommerce. Rather, according to Bernard Luskin, an educational technology colonist, he supported that the “ e- ” ofe-learning should be interpreted to mean “ instigative, energetic, enthusiastic, emotional, extended, excellent, and educational ” in addition to “ electronic ”.

This approach to learning callede-learning has been espoused by associations in different corridor of the world for case “ Google Classroom, Coursera, Khan Academy ” etc. Through these establishments it has been seen thate-learning would give great benefits especially in a mainland like Africa. In the light of these benefits, it isn’t surprising that institutions and transnational agencies have been spending numerous thousands of bones to pilot and apply colorfule-Learning results in the region( Farrell & Isaacs, 2007). For illustration, the African Development Bank Group( AfDB) handed a entitlement of$15.6 million to African Virtual University( AVU) to makee-learning centers and train content inventors at 31 mate institutions in Africa( Adkins, 2013). Seven of these institutions are in East Africa. also, the Partnership of Higher Education Africa( PHEA) has given backing to seven institutions in Africa( three of them in East Africa) to apply colorfule-Learning results( Hoosen & Butcher, 2012).
