Description
Nowadays, the popular methods of information delivering include e-learning, cyber-learning and other terms that describe the new ways of learning. In order to improve the learning process, the Virtual Learning Content Management System (V-LCMS) for Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Courses developed at the College of Professional MARA Indera Mahkota. The proposed system aims to develop a web site using Iterative and Incremental Development prototype. The programming language chosen is PHP 5.2.5, MySQL 5.0 as the database and Apache 2.2.8 as the the web server. The V-LCMS enables easier teaching and learning process between instructors and students. The students do not have to wait for the notes to be copied. Instead, the students can access the notes through V-LCMS. This facilitates the students to study by themselves. Other advantage of V-LCMS is, it eases students to interact with instructors using forums or chat rooms, especially for the implementation of PBL courses. Overall, not only the system assists the instructors, but also it supports their students in terms of receiving the knowledge imparted.
