CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Virtual e- learning is a system designed to help students

gain access and acquire knowledge in any university of their

choice. It can include: Enhance face –to- face instruction (on

campus, in class use of computer and the World Wide Web

(WWW), enhanced distance education (on or off campus)

individuals and group learning with both print and computer-

based materials instruction entirely on- line (individual and

group learning) because of this mix virtual classroom and text

based e- learning knowledge is moving towards every student

being an e- learner at last for part of their study, whether

through learning materials, e-mail for contacting teachers/

tutors or any one of their myriad other e-learning applications.

Online learning results to learning and other supportive

resources that are available through a computer and it includes

computer based training, computer based instruction and

technology. The e-learning system use text messages to

deliver information and data. Student or e-learners will be in

their computer receiving lectures as if they are in classroom.

This has gone a long way helping e-learners to acquire degree

in the institution they have never seen.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Internet as global connection of computers sited around

the world forming huge network for information to be shared

and disseminated by many millions of people has done so well

in information technology and in education so to speak. Virtual

classroom and text-based e-learning cannot be an exception.

Often time’s students experience a lot of difficult in the quest

for basic knowledge from higher institution of their choice, not

for the fact that the person doesn’t have resources to acquire

them but the risk in traveling from the said institution wherever

the person might be pose problems. In order to reduce these

risks, satellite computer were established but did not solve the

problem of traveling out from one’s location to the said location

in quest for knowledge.

In this regard, Federal Polytechnic Nekede compete with a

of institutions, this sometimes reduces the number of students

enrollment in the school to the above listed problems the

system “virtual classroom and text based e- learning was

 For more project topics and materials visit: http://www.classgist.com

designed with this Federal Polytechnic Nekede will have

thousands of student in which she doesn’t provide any a

accommodation or any structure for and still gain much

grounds economically and student all over the world suffer less

in having any of Federal Polytechnic Nekede’s certificate.

This is designed that before anybody can participate must

register. Students have free registration form but lecturers

must provide their staff number that tally with their surnames

before they have access to registration form. One month is

giving to student to pay his/her school fees after registration to

remove his/her name from the database.

This will go along way increasing student’s enrollment in the

institution. The system has very security conscious software

that resides in the ever helping except those supposed. Having

seen and observed. Having seen and observed this benefit to

students in an unprecedented scale.

Indeed, this sounds interesting to my academic pursuit in FPN.

Perhaps this calls for implementation.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Due to the problems students find and experiences, it has

never been easy for students to acquire basic and necessary

education in any institution one wishes irrespective of the fact

that the resources are there. This poses a lot of problems

sometimes they will embrace not going to school at all. It is

very impossible for a student in America or any other country

coming to FPNO everyday for lectures more so, it will be

impossible for FPN staff going to America or any other country

where the students might be located everyday to deliver

lectures.

Sometimes if number of students increase reduction in

student'’ admission will be affected in order to provided

adequate structures where they can have their lectures. The

above views are what gave birth to the research work in order

to find solution to them.

1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The purpose of the study is to find possible solution to

students whom because of nearness to institute and are unable

to acquire knowledge that they need. Again, to provide

 For more project topics and materials visit: http://www.classgist.com

students easier way to acquire any of the FPNO certificates

without been in the institute or with less difficulty.

Notwithstanding the fact that other institutes who offer the

same courses as FPNO exist, this will go far reducing her

competition with them. Since the system is virtual, that is there

will be no physical contact between students, their instructors

and FPNO, the problem structure is solved.

1.4 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

As they say “scientia st potential” that is knowledge is

power”. The aim of this research is to provide the students all

the information needed in any subject that is done in this great

institute FPNO. Again to assure that student meets the current

trend to academic setting all over the world. This will go a long

way making FPNO to be aware of trends in technology and gain

to making them have desires for other on-line provisions and

computerization in the institute.

1.5 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The project is concerned with the virtual e-learning

system files that are transferable within the net. It should be in

form of text file (.txt), rich text files (.rtf) or hypertext mark-up

language file (.htmf).

LIMITATIONS

To be candid, I encountered a lot of problems while

carrying out this research work.. It wasn’t easy for me to get

data relevant for this research. The most important thing I

needed was courses FPNO was doing. I requested that from

different schools of which I were told to go from one

department to another to collect them. Lastly I was able to get

some and others from FPNO library. The project work is a

tasking job which demands time, money and commitments.

Due to lack of funds to meet all resources and materials that

are used, I had to make do with other activities while the

process was going on.
