INTRODUCTION
Overview
Distance Learning or Distance Education is a field of education that focuses on teaching methods and technology with the aim of delivering teaching, often on an individual basis, to students who are not physically present in traditional educational setting such as a classroom. In layman’s language, this is when the students and the lecturer are not physically present in the same venue. It has also been described as a process to create and provide access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance, or both.
An example is a complete online degree program organized by an institution where students take their classes, assignments, quizzes and exams online and at the end, are given their certificates for participation. Another example is when the teachers pass information to their students using a form of live feed (audio/3D) whereas the teacher is at home or somewhere else but is broadcasting lecture to students at his/her own comfort. Another good example is an online system where the students can go back to after classes and check for class notes, take assignments, have one-on-one chat with their lecturers, and get better understanding on topics that were taught in class and not understood. This project would focus on the latter example.
Scope
This project would focus on two (2) Departments in Babcock University which has been chosen as a case study in order to give a very accurate, efficient, and detailed project. The reason for choosing two (2) departments only is to avoid a wide project which would require more energy, resources and a lot of time. The chosen departments are: * Computer Science
Computer Science
Computer Information Systems
Computer Technology * Agricultural Science
This project will help build an interface where students of
