Online Learning Management System Capstone Project Document
Introduction
On today’s generation of students are developing in a technological world. Technology creates a big role for students to deal with their studies as well as the teachers for their teaching. With the use of technology, it is now easy for the teachers to disseminate their learning materials and the students can access to get their learning materials easily. Through technology, education develops to a great level and has now become a need for transforming education for better.
Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application or Web-based technology used to plan, implement, and assess a specific learning process. Typically, a learning management system provides an instructor with a way to create and deliver content, monitor student participation, and assess student performance,(Rouse, 2013). As many people thought to bring computers into the classroom would remove that human element that some learners need, but as time progressed, technology has developed, and now we embrace smartphones and tablets in the classroom and office, as well as using a wealth of interactive designs that makes distance learning not only engaging for the users but valuable as a lesson delivery medium, (virtual-college, 2012).
The researchers develop the system for the Bachelor of Science in Information Systems department of Carlos Hilado Memorial State College Fortune Towne campus. This system will help the students in getting the reliable information. It will also help the teachers to monitor the list of enrolled students.

Learning Management System for LPU- Laguna
The term Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (MOODLE) or simply Moodle is a growing system in the information technology education field. It is a learning management system that uses the web. It is also now a verb that describes the process of doing an online course. Anyone who uses Moodle is a Moodler. This study was initiated to determine the potential of using an institutional learning management system that will serve as the standard tool for use in the virtual classroom. The learning management system contains features on enrolment, roles, course management, course report, and modules on assignment, chat, forum, glossary, lesson, quiz, survey, and workshop. A series of initial tests were conducted to advance the knowledge of the researchers about Moodle and propagate the learning to the end users (the institution). The establishment of a learning management system is composed of the Moodle software, a server, and a web hosting site. The LMS was evaluated by the student respondents in four areas: the system, the technical support, functions and capabilities, and the tools and were found to generally good and acceptable, (Dellosa et. al, 2012).
Electronic Pupil Interactive Learning System
The study was conducted to support the preschool classroom management through developing an LMS, entitled Electronic Pupil Learning System (EPILS) tailored to meet the level of understanding of a kindergarten; a convenient way for teachers to give and assess activities; for the principal to post announcements, news, and events; and for parents to monitor their children pertaining to their classroom activities. The users need a computer or a phone to use the system. The problem system that enabled the researcher to come up with EPILS, as the solution, is: in the traditional classroom setting, it is time-consuming for teachers to prepare and create a template for pupil’s activities; lack of classroom interactivity tool in supporting learner-centered education suited for kindergarten pupils; parents cannot fully track the performance of their children pertaining to classroom activities; lack of information to parents regarding school events and news, ( Serion, 2015).
