Abstract:

An Electronic Student Learning Portal is a computerized system designed and programmed to deal with day to day operations taking place. However, this is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, automation and delivery of educational courses, training programs, materials and learning programs.

This system manages the entire learning process, from student registration to administering the course, maintaining educational records, and analyzing their performances.
The demand to gain knowledge or to learn has risen. Thus, the present technology had gone a long way to provide means to learn, irrespective of the distance or the location of the learner and source of information.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
An Electronic Student Learning Portal is a computerized system designed and programmed to deal with day to day operations taking place. However, this is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, automation and delivery of educational courses, training programs, materials and learning programs. This system manages the entire learning process, from student registration to administering the course, maintaining educational records, and analyzing their performances.
The time has been changing rapidly if we compare it with ancient times. Various techniques have been discovered in the area of educational learning with a view of time saving and getting good results.
Technology has blurred all the boundaries across the globe. It has an intensive impact on learning. As we are aware that our life is totally dependent on electronic devices for whole 24 hours every now and then from morning to night. Technology for learning is used in the collection, processing, transmission, and interpretation of information. Human learning capacity can be enhanced with the optimum use of various technologies but not effective training.
Educational institutions, through its school administrators and information technology personnel, have developed various website enhancements regarding learning that will narrow the gap between the institution’s stakeholders, students, faculty members, and administrators.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study aims to develop and determine the effectiveness of an Electronic Student Learning Portal for the Department of Computer Studies, The Polytechnic Ibadan.
This are investigated problems:
i. What are the problems, inadequacies, and issues existing in the current process in terms of delivering education and student concerns?
ii. How ready and acceptable is the Electronic Student Learning Portal is perceived by the respondents?
iii. What are the respondent's perceptions on the effectiveness of the existing system?
1.3 JUSTIFICATION OF STUDY
This project will provide a reliable way of handling student’s academic record and performance effectively and eliminate the lag time in file recovery. This project is worth doing and will be a great benefit to any institution using it. It will reduce their stress and promote efficient work time.
1.4 AIM AND OBJECTIVE
The aim of this project is to develop An Electronic Student Learning Portal for the Department of Computer Studies, The Polytechnic, Ibadan.
The objectives include:
i. To be able to develop an electronic student learning portal to achieve learning more effectively and to improve information content delivery
ii. To determine the appropriate development tool in designing and developing an electronic student learning portal
iii. To empower education administration through analysis
iv. To give the privilege of accessing content anytime
1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The study covers the development of An Electronic Student Learning Portal for the Department of Computer Studies, The Polytechnic, Ibadan..
i. Keeping student’s records
ii. Make provision for students to access course resources
iii. Reduce paper work.
iv. Backing up of data
1.6 METHODOLOGY
In the development of any project, a very important requirement is the gathering of data for the project. It uses the following method to gather the necessary and required data for development.
i. Interview Method: This has to do with carrying out one to one interview with those involved, particularly the students and lecturers so as to know their opinion as regard to the existing system.
ii. Observation Method: This involves self observation from the research to understand the current system and identify the short coming of the system in order to design the new system.
The methods used to collect data are:
1. Study the existing record keeping arrangement with a view to identifying strengths and weakness.
2. Research in project topics that dealt with this issue in past observation.
3. Interactive reading of major theoretical issue related to subject matter.
4. The programming language to used are for designing the software are:
• HTML, CSS and JavaScript for designing the software
• PHP for the back-end
• MYSQL: for keeping records
.
The software is for the automation of An Electronic Student Learning activities and management.
It maintains three levels of users:
i. Administrator Level
ii. Lecturer Level
iii. Student Level
