DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN E-LEARNING WEBSITE (A CASE STUDY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE)

ABSTRACT

This research explored existing technologies used in the development of electronic tutorial materials and then designed an e-learning website that would teach students of computer science online. This was to replace the traditional method of classroom teaching which is associated with its innate flaws. The design was implemented using HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), and SQL (Structured Query Language) server for the online learning platform tutorial application package, and an e-book.
