ITSU3008 Project 1: E-learning Platform Proposal for University

This project proposal outlines the development of an e-learning platform based on a private cloud, addressing the growing need for digitized education. The proposal, submitted for ITSU3008, details the project's aims, which include providing effective knowledge sharing and leveraging internet platforms for education. Objectives involve establishing a database for learning resources, utilizing a cloud-based server, and employing software enhancements. The project deliverables encompass development constraints, a WBS Gantt chart, advantages and disadvantages of the platform, and budgeting analysis, along with software and hardware requirements such as Apache Server, MySQL, and PHP, along with processor and RAM specifications. The network architecture model is also included. The project aims to provide students and tutors with easy access to learning materials and enhance the overall digital learning experience. The proposal also covers the network design for campus network, including the planning phase with literature review and Gantt chart, and the system requirements report including hardware, software, and functional/non-functional requirements.

ITSU3008 Project 1
1. Project Title
E-learning platform based on private cloud
E-learning is depicted as a significant methodology in respect to the distant learning
that is carried out by the students of a specific university or institute. This can be carried out
by the adhering the mechanisms based on the electronic communication system. The
significant point that is highlighted in this proposal is to assure the students as well as the
individuals that are associated with the learning procedures in this platform. The significant
approaches that are being used within this area possess a diverse functionality in respect to
the fact of the methodologies of the machine learning. This is a significant approach that is
being utilized in most of the universities for the smooth functioning of the overall digitized
education system. The implementation of the Cloud Based platform in this field of the e-
learning systems as well as the usage of the potential data mining techniques are well
adhered for the efficient management of the learning materials as well as the individuals
that are trying to access those materials via digital means. The different cloud computing
applications are critically assessed for the effective carrying out of the different initiations of
the e-learning platforms.
The potential advantages that are significantly viewed in respect to the fact that the
overall learning materials as well as the resources are easily accessible through this platform
by both the tutor as well as the students associated with it. This proposal states that the
overall constraints related to this platform for the successful execution of the project.
2. Project Aims and Objectives
The significant aims of this project is critically assessed and stated below:
 To provide effective sharing of the knowledge resources within the university or the
institutes.
 To effective use the internet platform for the digitization of the knowledge.
 To potentially use the different software as well as hardware specifications for the
enhancement of the e-learning platforms.
The important objectives that the project will try to achieve in regards to the e-learning
platform are stated as follows:
 The platform will possess enough database for storing the overall learning resources.
 The platform will be significantly using the cloud based private server for the storing
of the resources.
 The platform will adhere significant software methodologies for the enhancement of
the platform to its potential users.

3. Project Outcome
After the project has been successfully completed the users can effectively access the
overall constraints in regards to the learning resources that are significantly present or
provided by their institutes. Moreover, this platform will intend to open a new area of the
digitalized learning for the students as well as the provide them with significant
methodologies for accessing the platform with the help of the internet and cloud computing
methodologies.
