Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Web-Based e-Learning System for Tertiary Educational Institution

Abstract—The growing demand of e-learning system in academia is well accepted worldwide. One of the vital missions of e-learning is to allow people to learn for personal accomplishment or to earn a professional degree, without physically attending a traditional university or academic setting. E-learning can be applied for all levels of schooling from grade school to graduate degrees, and is versatile enough to accommodate all learning styles. A good number of researchers all over the world have already worked for developing different types of web based e-learning system. In this paper, we have presented our proposedweb-based e-learning system which is essential for any tertiary educational institution. Both students and teachers are tied up in this system. Overall it’s a guided learning for student and a great way to change our typical learning system but not replacement of teaching, it’s only the supplement idea for teaching which helps to learn easily and improve the productivity. We have also evaluated the effectiveness of our proposed system by conducting a survey, analyzed and presented the result.
