The Internet has become one of the greatest inventions of mankind for learning and sharing of useful information through electronic means. For some years now, the developed nations have adopted the use of the e-learning system. Presently, the COVID-19 outbreak has given rise to the adoption of the e-learning system by many countries of the world being the most viable alternative for teaching and learning. This paper uses a pragmatic approach to evaluates the benefits and challenges associated with the e-learning system. A survey was conducted among students in a higher institution and a total of one hundred and twenty-five responses was gathered from the online questionnaire to know the likely challenges faced by students with the e-learning system and also at an online researchers’ forum. The result shows that 30.40% of students complained about weak internet connectivity from the questionnaire administered which is also the major problem in most developing nations, and for optimal performance of the e-learning system, there should be adequate provision for strong internet connectivity, standard IT infrastructure, and user-friendly e-learning platform.

An e learning approach to secondary school educationAlexander Decker
This document discusses e-readiness implications for adopting e-learning in secondary schools in Kenya. It finds that less than 10% of Kenyan secondary schools offer computer studies as a subject. E-readiness indicators like infrastructure, internet access, equipment, and trained personnel must be ensured for effective e-learning. Africa in general scores low on connectivity, with only 50% of rural areas having mobile network access. Kenya has also dropped in international rankings of digital readiness compared to other African nations. For e-learning to succeed, Kenya must effectively address issues like inadequate ICT infrastructure and skills.

Impact of computer education on students interest and performance in automobi...Alexander Decker
This document discusses a study on the impact of computer education on students' interest and performance in automobile trade programs in Nigerian secondary schools and colleges. The study used a questionnaire to collect pre-test and post-test data from students in two schools, one that received computer-assisted instruction for two weeks between tests and one that did not. The findings showed that students in both schools had low scores on the pre-test, and that using computers to teach automobile trade subjects helped increase students' interest and improved their performance on the post-test. The study recommends fully implementing computer education in schools and equipping automobile workshops with computers to further enhance students' interest and skills in the field.
In this modern, age of society where everyone requires individual attention to his/her self in order to gain far more than publicly gather information. Internet becomes the part of life in these circumstances when technology is much more active than any other source of communication. People need to have all information regarding their field of interest at one place stop and this could only be possible because of internet. According to a research, students engage with a lot more new information's from various sources. Particularly, students are more independent in electronic based courses than traditional way of learning courses. Although the virtual source of teaching courses are not so effective because of student unable to pay attention being as in practical classrooms but students are still progressive.
This paper is depending on the effectiveness of e-learning system in the field of education. E-learning can be perceived as a computer-learning program in which students can be taught over computer. However, today the concept of e-learning has been totally changed, it is the collection of technological sources to provide the information you required within a very short period of time. What is good e-learning process? The components and the future perspective of the e-learning program will covered in this paper.

Implementing e-learning in far western region of Nepal by Gajendra Sharma* and Mahesh Prashad Bhatta in Crimson Publishers: Electronics and Telecommunications
The rapid developments of internet and communication technologies have materially altered many characteristics and concepts of the learning environment. E-learning has started to make way into developing countries and is believed to have huge potential for governments struggling to meet a growing demand for education while facing shortage of expert teachers, shortage of update textbooks and limited teaching materials. The objective of this study is to determine the major challenges of implementing e-learning systems in far western region of Nepal. The results of this study will serve as a basic for improving higher education in developing countries. There are many commercial or free e-learning systems available on the market. Most of these e-learning systems provide lot of functionality and modules. Some courses are completely based on e-learning resources instead of traditional learning model. E-learning system also offers graphs and charts of student’s results. This system is based on linear workflow. That means students can see new learning resources and tests only after previous was done. Students can also create their own learning plan by defining dates. System is able to export this plan into general calendar format or remind students via e-mail.

Appraisal of E-learning structure in Nigerian Polytechnics: A Case study of F...IOSR Journals
Abstract: E-learning represents an entirely new learning environment where information and communication
systems, whether networked learning or not, serve as specific media to implement the learning process for
students. In response to the fast development in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), e-learning
was therefore adopted by many universities and other higher institutions around the globe as a way of
improving and supporting their teaching-learning activities and making education accessible for all society
members.. Unfortunately, this rapidly changing technological resource along with the ever growing and mobile
society has no doubt created many challenges for students, teachers, parents, administrators and policymakers
particularly in developing countries. This actually made the paper to assess the e-learning structure in term of
physical infrastructure and human development at the Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti through data collected
both by structured interview and questionnaires. The analyses of which the states of development are at low
realm therefore, call for a robust synergy that will be able to meet and cope with the test of the time.

Impact of Computers’ Implementation on Administration Use in Public Secondary...paperpublications3
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of computer implementation on administration use in public secondary schools in Nyamira North District.t. The objectives of this study were to; determine how computers were utilized, determine how the impact of computers was rated among the principals; HODs (Head of Department) bursars and librarians. The study utilized descriptive survey design. The researcher used four tools for data collection: principals’, HOD’s, Bursar’s and librarians’ questionnaire. The target population was 40 public secondary schools from where a sample of 12 schools was purposively obtained. The data were collected by the researcher by administering the tools himself. The data analysis was done using SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Sciences) and Chi-square was used to determine the level of significance of the impact of computer. The study found that only two schools in Nyamira North use computers in accounts offices and the library. It was also found that all management offices were inadequately prepared in use of computer skills. In the principals’ offices, it was found that computers were mainly used for clerical jobs such as typing letters. Bursars used the computers to receive fees, pay vouchers, and prepare budgets and balance sheets. Librarians used computers to issue books, receive books, trace books and locate them on the shelves. The impact of computers were found to be great because they made work easier as they could detect and correct errors, store large volumes of work, edit documents and produce accurate reports. In accounts, computers had a great impact by availing up to date records and speeded work. In the library computers have a great impact in tracing books on loan, receiving and issuing books and locating books on the shelves hence guarding against loss of books?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Abstract
This paper presents an ongoing study on the development of an e-learning scheme in a particular higher
institution in Nigeria. E-learning is an evolving technology that has become a new paradigm for delivering
online and distance learning programmes to users. However, the strength of recent e-learning systems lies in the
emergence of Web 2.0 tools which have influenced e-learning systems in terms of pedagogy and delivery.
We introduce an evolutionary software modelling in developing an e-learning platform. The paper argues that
rather than developing a model with distinct phases and components that make it difficult to respond to
changing users’ requirements, the development should be broken down into increments with required users’
priority for later increments. This approach further increase efficiency and flexibility of the development as well
as quality and reusability of the results.
We conclude that if the scheme is fully integrated, limitations of the traditional system of learning will be
eradicated in the institution of our case study and other institutions interested in adopting the scheme.
Keywords: E-learning, Evolutionary modelling, Polytechnics education, Web tools
1. Introduction
The explosion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a result of advancement in Internet
provides a new trend for higher institutions to introduce new teaching and learning technologies. Learning
technologies have been evolving over the last two or three decades, and have gone through many phases and
approaches. A specific learning approach that combines blended and hybrid learning to learning that is entirely
online is referred to as e-learning. This innovative learning systems try to support learners in expanding their
knowledge by providing structured learning content and intercommunication facilities to specific topics.
E-learning is evolving rapidly as a result of its importance in the educational process. It allows a communication
between learners by sharing opinions on learning materials with maximum convenience and flexibility learners

are given. Hedge and Hayward (2004) defined e-learning as an innovative approach for delivering electronically
mediated, well-designed, learner-centered and interactive learning environments to anyone, anyplace, anytime
by utilizing the Internet and digital technologies in concern with instructional design principles. The definition is
further corroborated as the use of ICT to acquire knowledge and improve skills at times and on terms defined by
each learner in an interactive and engaging environment (Dutta et al., 2011).
Broadly speaking, e-learning is the delivery of educational content through electronic media, including Internet,
intranet, extranet, satellite broadcast, audio and video tapes, interactive TV, interactive CDs and computer-based
system. However, the strength of recent e-learning systems lies in the emergence of Web 2.0 tools which
according to Awodele et al. (2009) is a concept that has developed some new initiatives in education identified
as e-learning 2.0. Web 2.0 tools have influenced e-learning systems in terms of pedagogy and delivery as a
result of a high degree of user involvement and social networking (Anderson, 2007). The Web has therefore
been established as a major platform for applications in learning. Dalsgaard (2008) also recognized the need to
move e-learning beyond learning management systems and engaged students in an active use of the web as a
resource for their self-governed, problem-based and collaborative activities.
On the other hand, the increasing complexity of web applications make a disciplined approach for development
and evolution mandatory (Gaedke and Graef, 2000) which necessitated the use of component-based software
development in software engineering. The authors recognized the heterogeneity nature and complexity of web
development as a major challenge to the adoption of this approach. Waterfall model is another approach that can
be used in developing a model of e-learning, however, the two approaches do not give room for feedback.
Furthermore, there have been widespread use of web-based e-learning applications for distance and classroom
learning (Vrasidas, 2004), yet little has been done to critically examine their usability (Zaharias, 2006). Usability
should be thoroughly examined and used since it should be possible for users to interact and perform their tasks
easily and intuitively. Evolutionary modeling is a software modeling approach that supports rapid learning and
efficient use with ability for feedback from the users.
The study is significant because it provides a formal approach of developing a framework for e-learning within
Nigerian context. The model can equally well be adopted by institutions seeking to implement their own e-
learning initiatives. The remainder of the paper is as follows: Section 2 discusses the justification for the study,
Section 3 elaborates on the literature review in the domain of study, Section 4 introduces the model
development, Section 5 discusses the implementation while Section 6 concludes the study and highlights areas
for further study.
2. Justification
The establishment of polytechnic education in Nigeria was as a result of the need to expand technical and
vocational education to ameliorate acute shortage of technical manpower. According to National Policy on
Education (Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1998), polytechnic education is expected to be the main vehicle for
technical education in Nigeria at the tertiary level of education. It is on this background we carried out an
empirical study coupled with our classroom experience to investigate the usage of Internet for academic purpose
in The Polytechhnic, Ile-Ife (Amassoma et al., 2010). The study revealed a negative impact as to the usage of
Internet on the students’ overall academic performances due to inadequate knowledge of the basics of Internet
operation and how to operate computers.
The question now is how can the Internet be brought to the doorsteps of the students in order to enhance their
educational development? We therefore embark on this project to develop an interactive learning environment
that will aid students’ learning and provide for their independent studies. The relevance of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) as a form of an emerging technology in higher learning cannot be over-
emphasized because it has become a tool that revolutionize teaching and learning across the globe (Aminu,
2003; Sheyin, 2009).
In an effort to introduce technology to teaching and learning, we adopted a model of e-learning in which its
framework mimicked that of University of Jos ICT initiative (Liverpool et al., 2009). We adapted the framework
to this study because of its peculiary within the Nigeria context and as a result of being the first framework
available in the literature that has been fully integrated into higher learning in Nigeria. However, the interface
design of the e-learning framework in University of Jos was not elaborated. This study seeks to introduce the
software approach towards the development of a model that can be adopted especially in other polytechnics and
higher institutions in Nigeria. Our goal is tailored towards developing a model that provides students with
valuable resources for using the web as a tool to enhance their independent and collaborative study.

On the other hand, a number of factors should be considered in the adoption and integration of a model for e-
learning in higher institutions. In developing a framework for e-learning, Khan (2001) recognized eight
dimensions as depicted in Figure 1. These factors are institutional, pedagogical, technological, interface design,
evaluation, management, resource support and ethical. Each of these dimensions posessed sub-dimensions that
focus on particular aspects of an e-learning environment. Our contribution in this research is to design an
interface using a modelling approach that gives room for users’ verification and validation. This in essence
would be needed for the creation of a successful experience for diverse learners.
3. Related Works
Several frameworks have been proposed and developed for e-learning across the globe. This is with a view to
developing models that integrate technology and pedagogical issues. A framework of e-learning that determined
the units of study was proposed by Koper (2001). The framework recognized learners, staff and developers of
units of study as the key actors in the learning process. Building upon this idea, Koper developed Educational
Modelling Language for Open University in Netherlands. The containing framework described in Koper model
has since been taken up and developed by IMS Learning Design group (IMS Global Learning Consortium,
2002), which aims to work towards establishing specifications for describing the elements and structure of any
unit of learning.
Another conversational framework for e-learning is Laurillard model (Laurillard, 2002). This model considered
academic learning as learning mediated through conversations between learners and teachers, rather than
situated in direct experience. The study advocated a continuing iterative dialogue between teacher and student
which reveals the participants’ conceptions and the variations between them. This model summarized the
importance of the analysis as: places more emphasis on the interaction between teachers and learners; stresses
the need for meaningful intrinsic feedback to be a central feature of e-learning; and considers how far current
learning technology tools can help to meet the requirements for academic learning by analyzing each media
form in terms of the conversational framework.
A new framework based upon the Laurillard conversational model and the Beer viable systems model (Beer,
1979) was Britain and Liber’s framework (Britain and Liber, 2004). The framework was primarily developed in
order to facilitate the take-up and use of Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) across further education. This
framework stressed on the effective management of organizational structures at different levels from the
teachers through the students to the institution. This approach allows for complex networks including networks
of people within an organization to be mapped in this way.
Dutta et al. (2011) proposed a six step model for e-learning adoption in higher education. They are: learning
management system; integrated content capture system; syncronous collaboration tool; content development
tool; online testing and assessments; and multimedia software. These tools and technologies consitituted the
model for the development of an e-learning centre in Hashemite University, Jordan. The university has adopted
and used Blackboard, an integrated collaborative learning system, for teaching and learning.
In Nigeria, attempt at introducing models for e-learning in higher institutions largely focus on theoretical
framework for collaborative learning. Ajadi et al. (2008) discussed the theoretical basis and the relevance of e-
learning in the position of distance education in Open University. The study highlighted the prospects and
challenges of e-learning in the institution of concern. Awodele et al. (2009) proposed a framework of e-learning
that incorporate active and open collaboration, and integrate other services that aid in learning process. The
study aimed at having an extended and enhanced learning environment that is tied or connected to other systems
within the immediate environment based on theoretical analysis.
The model of e-learning developed in University of Jos ICT initiatives became a novel model in the country that
was adopted and integrated in the institution over a period of time from now (Liverpool et al., 2009). Locally,
the institution adopted Knowledge Environment for Web-based Learning (KEWL) system which is a course
management system developed by a consortium of African universities led by the University of Western Cape
with the University of Jos as a member of the consortium. Moodle was adopted as a course management system
in 2007. This is a popular learning tool with functionalities supporting scientific notation and collaborative
learning across the globe for creating online dynamic web sites for students.
4. Software Modelling
We briefly discuss the three generic process models that are used in current software engineering practice

(Pressman, 2005). These are:
i. Waterfall model: This takes the activities involved in a software design process into distinct phases
such as requirement, specification, software design, implementation, testing and so on. After each stage is
defined , development goes on to the next stages. The main drawback of the waterfall model is the difficulty of
accommodating change after the process is underway. One phase has to be completed before moving onto the
next phase.
ii. Evolutionary or iterative model: This approach interleaves the activities of specification, development
and validation. An initial system is rapidly developed from very abstract specifications. This is then refined with
customers’ input to produce a system that satisfies the customers’ need. The system may then be delivered.
Alternatively, it may be re-implementated using a more structured approach to produce a more robust and
maintainable system.
iii. Component-based model: This technique assumes that parts of the system already exist. The system
development process focuses on integrating these parts rather than development from the scratch.
In this study, we adopt an evolutionary model which is based on the idea of developing an initial
implementation, exposing this to user comment and refining it through many versions until an adequate system
has been developed. The objective is to work with users and evolve a final system from an initial outline
specification. We therefore opt to start with well-understood requirements and add new features as proposed by
the users. This is with a view to producing a more complete version of software with each iteration as illustrated
in Figure 2.
Functional requirements of the model should be identified in order to know the services that can be provided
and the operational constraints that reflect the needs of users to solve specific problems which include: the
model should be able to attach a unique identifier to every forum post made by the user; be able to attach a
unique identifier to every forum reply made by the user to help identify which user made any particular
contribution; be able to fetch the record of every intended member when prompted; and be able to update each
student activity appropriately. All these features are taken into consideration in the design of the model.
5. Software Modelling
We present modules that make up the model of e-learning scheme. These are the units within the framework of
the scheme which include: Login page, User Home page, Personal details page, Forum page, Chat room page,
New user page, Edit user page and Search page. These components are depicted in a flowchart in Figure 3.
The proposed model allows members to login and view their details, create new forum topics and contribute to
already existing forum topics and access various virtual study groups via chatrooms and share their opinion.
The actual implementation of the model starts from login page for existing users while new users are expected
to sign up and fill the personal details before proceeding to the home page where all the activities carried out can
be seen as shown in Figure 4. The students and others engaged in the web interation can then select the specific
activities to be carried out. Forum pages are illustrated in Figure 5 and Figure 6 which contain all topics posted
by the participants in collaborative learning community with a click button that directs one to see the comments
on every topics.
6. Conclusion and Future Works
In this paper, we presented an ongoing model-based approach to software development. The approach of
evolutionary software development was adopted as a result of the need to further increase efficiency and
flexibility of the development as well as quality and reusability of the model.
We argued that the capability of Nigeria to adequately empower its citizenry, institution and sustain democratic
ideals and principles, diversity and strengthen the national economic and ensure peace and security depends
largely on the quality, functionality, responsiveness and global competitiveness of its technical education which
polytechnics education offer. It is therefore imperative that the quality of education in this category of higher
learning is enhanced through e-learning scheme since there are established reasons to believe that models of
collaborative learning are very effective as means of learning.

Our future work will incorporate a more interactive user interface based on the horizontal communication
structure and the feedback from the active participation of the people involved in the learning community in
order to take into consideration the social aspects of learning and support a feeling of commitment and
affiliation to the group. A prototype of the model when fully completed can be integrated into other private and
public polytechnics as well as other higher learning in the country.
