Secured E-Learning And Assessment Web-Based Application With Parental Control

Abstract - COVID-19 outbreak triggered many schools, colleges & other educational institute to adopt electronic learning systems. This electronic-learning application can be very helpful for both learners as well as educators with an effective and real time environment Through e-learning web apps, pupils' academic progress is improved. It has overcome limitation of time & venue and also made it possible for student fraternity, educators & parents of the students to be in continuous touch with each other’s from any corner of the globe.

Online education established a very good foundation for transformation with the arrival of e-learning web application As a result, many online learning systems have been developed.

For the use of e-Learning in elementary and secondary schools, a special control mechanism and instructions are needed. It is believed that a controlled education during adolescence shapes a person.

4. IMPLEMENTATION

A worldwide shift to an online learning environment was challenging in many respects, but it also revealed many advantages.Amongthemare:

1. Flexibility:WitheLearning,youarenotconstrainedtoa specificclassroom, neighborhood,orevennation.You cansimplycombineworkandstudy.

2. Learning at your own pace: sign in whenever it's convenient for you. To easily fill in any gaps, you can easily refer back to earlier lectures, procedures, or lessons.

Time-efficiency: According to Brandon Hall, students typicallyinvest40–60%lesstimeineLearningthantheydo intraditionalclassroomsettings.

Controloverstudies:AccordingtoIBM,studentswhotake onlinecourses mayacquire five timesmore material than those who take traditional classes since they can learn at theirownpace.

High retention rates: It can be difficult to keep a student interested in a course from beginning to end. However, onlinelearninghasreallyimprovedretentionrateofstudent toasignificantleveli.e.,25to62%,ascomparedtoretention rates of 8 to 12% with traditional method, claims an Americanresearchinstitute
