1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION1.1 System Overview
The Learning Management System (LMS) for IT14-Data Structures with
File Organization was created using the Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic
Learning Environment, usually abbreviated as MOODLE. Moodle aims to provide
a set of tools that support an inquiry- and discovery-based approach to online
learning. The design and some functionalities of the system were made through
the installation of plugins which were all from the Moodle Online Plug-in
Directory. Adobe Captivate and Adobe Photoshop were also used for lessons
and for the enhancement of system’s design. The project was conducted at
Davao del Norte State College. The end-users of the LMS are the students of the
said institution specifically those 2nd year students enrolled in the BSIT Program
with IT14-Data Structures with File Organization as one of their major subjects.
The project aims to give support, enhance and improve the instructional
materials and teaching scheme of the subject IT14 – Data Structures with File
Organization. This project can be both reached through its official website and
through its stand-alone version. The online version includes interactive lessons,
videos, games and downloadable resources. While the stand-alone version,
likewise, contains interactive lessons, videos and games.
This project also allows students, as well as teachers, to participate in
forums and blogs. It also provides drills in every module to assess students
learning and comprehension and for them to grasp the discussed module or a
certain topic.
The system also contains glossary of terms which are all related to the
subject matter in which a student can look or search for a term’s definition.
The system provides time-bounded and randomized quizzes. The result of
such will then be recorded on a gradebook which can be downloaded by the
subject teacher for recording and grading purposes. The project also contains
Page | 2
assignments for students to answer and at the same time, the teacher can rate
and download a student’s assignment submission.
The students are allowed to view their own grades for the quizzes and
assignments they have taken while the teacher has the power to view all the
grades of the students enrolled in the system.
The system also provides downloadable resources such as lessons
(complete and by module), videos and even the course syllabus of the subject.
The stand-alone version can also be downloaded directly from the online LMS
itself. The project provides this user manual to serve as guidelines for new user.

2.0 SYSTEM SUMMARY
The Institute of Information Technology (IIT) is one of the five institutes in
Davao del Norte State College located at New Visayas, Panabo City. The
institute caters the largest number of students among other institutes every year.
With this, each instructor is assigned to handle with numerous students in
different IT related subjects. In a typical scenario, instructors give quizzes,
assignments and projects to assess the learning and comprehension of the
students. In return, students try to comprehend and comply those given activities
but some are not able to do such due to individual differences and the most
common, inattentiveness on class discussions. Moreover, when instructors give
activities that involve printing, students spent money to submit the assigned task
or activities. At the same time, instructors, in return, are exerting extra workloads
checking and keeping those printed documents.
In response to the learning need of the college, the Learning Management
System has been realized and then created to help the instructors in teaching
and assessing students’ learning and comprehension.
2.1 System Configuration
Server – is a primary requirement before the system can be utilized. This
is where the system will be installed and be hosted. The server is usually
connected to the internet for the system to be accessed by its users.
During the actual creation of the system, the following tools were used:
Moodle 2.7.2+ - For the whole body of the system
Moodle Plugins – For the enhancement and improvement of system
functionalities
Adobe Captivate 7 – For the interactivity of lessons in the system
Adobe Photoshop – For the system’s enhanced design and interface
Adobe Flash Player – For the flash files to work properly
Page | 8
Camtasia Studio – For the videos in the system
Loquendo Text-to-Speech – For audios and voice involved in the
system
XAMPP – As the system’s local server
PHP and HTML5 – As the scripting languages used in the system
Sublime Text Editor – As text editor of PHP and HTML files
Web Browsers – To access the system via Internet
2.2 User Access Levels
The system has three distinct user access levels as follows:
The Administrator has the privilege to access and manipulate all
the contents of system. In general term, the administrator has the ability to
create/add, edit/update, view/read and delete/remove all contents of the
LMS.
The Teacher has the capability to access the system but in a less
privilege than Administrators. This account has the capability to
create/add, edit/update, view/read and delete/remove all course-related
contents of the LMS such as quizzes, assignments, videos, games,
forums, blogs, and other related activities.
The Student has the least user privilege among other user levels. It
has only the capability to edit own profile, explore the lessons, watch
videos, play educational games, participate in forums, blogs and groups,
take quizzes, submit assignments, view own gradebook and download
resources such as lessons, videos and course syllabus.
