ABSTRACT
E-education is the
process of learning online. Whether you're a high school student or a Tertiary
institution student, a person looking to expand technical skills or a retiree
who simply wants to learn more, Internet learning provides a boundary-free way
to broaden your horizons.
The evolution of internet and World Wide Web (WWW)
has affected all part of life dramatically; also the area of education has not
remained untouched. Previously, student used to spend their time in library
searching for information in books and journals. Now a day, they use web search
engines and figure out the web sites containing the required information. The
information sharing has become very easy due to access to Internet.
E-education revolves around the use of ICT to
accelerate the achievement of national education goals, e-education is about
connecting learners to other learners, teachers to professional support
services and providing platforms for learning, e-education will connect
learners and teachers to a better information, ideas and one another via
effective combinations of style of instruction and technology.
Electric learning popularly known as e-learning is
an application that allows teacher to be able to communicate with the students
across the web. There has been an increased interest in the area of computer
technology in Nigeria through the introduction of the internet. This has aided
communication between two distant learning parties in the country, thereby
enlarging the electronic learning via internet in Nigeria. The problems that
the application will try to solve are: Inadequate learning resources such as
lecture notes and virtual classrooms for viewing lectures: Shortage of
experienced lecturers: and Boredom associated with Long lecture hours. The
objective of this study is to create an interactive electronic learning system
which will make possible learning anywhere, anytime using the web. A
methodological approach has been adopted for this research and the e- learning
web portal will be developed using tools such as PHP, HTML,Apache and MySQL.The
web-based application will provide a means of assessing the learning content
and to ensure the student understands the course taught by teachers.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
E-education
is the process of learning online. Whether you're a high school student or a
graduate college student, a person looking to expand technical skills or a
retiree who simply wants to learn more, electronic learning provides a
boundary-free way to broaden your horizons
that allows the teacher to be able to
communicate with its students across the web either through receiving lectures
or assessment (electronic tutoring and electronic assessment) and also
delivering any other information that is
necessary for the student’s progress
.This application is developed on the web
which comprises of three tiers
which are the client, the server
and the database, the server and the database are the part of the system that
would be used by the teacher to hold the resources to be displayed as well as editing of such
resources .The server and the database can be said to work hand in hand
and used by the same person, while the client tier is used by the
student to view the resources as well as
interacting with the lecture. These three tiers can be interacting with one
another to create an online and real
time application. These tiers can all work hand in hand to create an effective
communication between the teacher and the student.
These have been an increased interest
in the area of computer technology in Nigeria through the introduction of the
internet. This has aided communication between two distant parties in the
country, there by enlarging the interest of electronic learning in Nigeria.
The e- learning system comprises of two main section, the
electronics tutoring (e-learning) and the electronics assessment (e-assessment)
.The e-tutoring aspect is concerned with the learning part where student come
on line to receive lectures, take review questions and also view summary and
the note key of lecture received. The e-assessment section is just where the
student take tests, exercise, quiz to know how far they have learnt since the
commencement of the lectures.
The application and processes
involved are web based learning, virtual classroom, computer based learning and
they are accessed through the internet CD-ROM.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The problems that this application
will try to solve are:
·
Inadequate
learning resources such as lecture note and virtual classrooms for viewing
lectures.
·
Shortage
of experience lectures.
·
Boredom
associated with long lecture hours.
1.3
AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The aim of this study is to create an
interactive electronic learning system which would be used to improve our
current learning system as well as providing means at which learning can be
done at one’s convenient time.
The objectives of this study are:
·
To
create an interactive medium of learning between lectures and student.
·
To
enable student have access to learning resources such as lecture notes.
·
To
help student learn effectively with little or no supervision.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
The project was chosen because it
proffers solutions to the problem affecting our present educational system. The
significances of the study are as follows:
·
Virtual classrooms that can be accessed from
anywhere
·
Well educated, professional instructors just like
traditional education
·
Diverse programs in a variety of disciplines
·
Accredited programs to complete college degrees
·
Technical programs that provide real-time training
·
Freedom to enhance skills –and resume – while still
working full-time
·

·
Work/life balance
1.5
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A methodology approach has been
adopted for this research and its includes the various tools:
·
Observation
and analysis of the processes that exist
in our present educational system in Nigeria
·
The
application will be developed using HTML, PHP and MYSQL database.
·
Apache
server will used as the web server.
1.6
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The limitation of this research work
is as follows:
1.
The
web based learning system is not real- time software though it is online it can
only be updated at a particular time.
2.
This
electronic system software is only available for a few courses for now which
can be expanded as time goes on
3.
It
is only limited to a particular environment (Lagos State University)
