Motivation

This idea is given by Dr. Mahesh Sanghavi, Associate Professor while conducting his lecture on our class at SNJB’s KBJ College of Engineering, to make the life of a student as well as teacher simpler. As per his opinion and our study :

Deployment of the assignment and submitting the same should be online which will reduce huge stationary and also the system will be transparent.

Teacher and students must be connected 24x7. Teacher can upload their study material on the same platform

and students can have access it any time. Student can also ask doubt to the teachers which will be open

for all the students too. Even students can also contribute to share the answers.

Grading / Marking system will also be online. Sharing of Study Material will be easy and will reduce time as

well as money.

What is Learning Management System ?

LMSs are web applications. Moodle server is probably located in your department, but it

can be anywhere in the world. Teachers and students can access the system from any place with

an Internet connection. LMSs give educators tools to create a course web site and provide

access control so only enrolled students can view it. They provide an easy way to upload and share materials, hold

online discussions and chats, give quizzes and surveys, gather and review assignments, and record grades.
