Abstract
In recent years, educators have witnessed the rapid development of
computer networks, dramatic improvements in the processing power of
personal computers, and striking advances in magnetic storage technology.
These developments have made the computer a dynamic force in distance
education, providing a new and interactive means of overcoming time and
distance to reach learners.
In this work, a web-based system was designed to further enhance the
accessibility of distance education. The system also used a combination of elearning
and assessment techniques to deliver the prototype.
The system was built around a three-tier architecture model consisting
of the server side and the client side connected through the Internet.
The system was implemented with Apache as the web server, Microsoft
Internet explorer as the web browser to achieve a secure client-server
communication and MySQL as the database management system. The
scripting engine uses server-side PHP functions to communicate with the
database.
