| The function of PHP framework as more Object Oriented (OOL) language than a functional programming language (like JavaScript) can in fact be an advantage that makes it more suitable for building reliable e-Learning Platform (eLP) if we take the available options of the two e-Learning systems: the Learning Management System (LMS) and the Learning Object Metadata (LOM). The reason is because a PHP framework e-Learning Platform (eLP) allows better control of the e-learning environment including: more control on the learning resources/modules. better control on managing the academic and students' records, better control and security on assessment/exam records and more importantly keeping the formal identity, culture and orientation of the e-learning environment. All these educational advantages which PHP framework e-Learning Platform (eLP) Virtual Campus Administration will have are because of PHP framework's technical advantages of being more Server-side/ Backend architecture, more Model-view-controller (MVC) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Interfaces, where the Learning Object Metadata (LOM), the Course Management System (CMS) and Learning Management System (LMS) are all in the server of the e-learning environment administration and in the same time save, secure and allows smoother data movement. In addition such PHP framework e-Learning Platform (eLP) will still allow us to access ad benefit from SCORM standards for web-based resources (like Moodle) which means there is nothing will be missed. This research achieved an e-Learning Platform (eLP) model architecture on a PHP framework and makes use of its several advantages to come up with an e-Learning Platform that suits the educational and learning purpose more efficiently. |
