ABSTRACT:
Acquiring education by distance learning became necessary as not many people were able to attend classes due to societal pressures. Also facilities for teaching and learning in Institutions are not adequate in supply. Making education to reach many people especially adults and workers necessitated the issue of distance learning. Many methods were being used to achieve distance learning. Such include correspondence, radio, television and web-based e-learning systems. These platforms were found to be ineffective and consequently an online distance learning projects was proposed to solve this problem. A prototype system christened FutaEdunet to solve the problems was developed in FUTA. The prototype is an e-Learning platform using web-based e-learning platforms cum streaming technology. Lectures are captured and stored on the server system where Learners log unto individually or in group at remote virtual classrooms. Learners can listen to real time or on-demand video lectures and as well read the online lecture materials and other resources they are linked to on the Internet. This system lacks some facilities for better learning hence the need to carry out performance analysis of the system with the hope of considering alternatives or improving the system.
