Problem Statement

1

The main problem been addressed by this system is that there are students that are not always available to physically attend classes since most of them are always working and they would prefer to have online classes where all the materials are posted and the lecturer posts all assignments on the Learn Dash and students can carry out the assignments and examinations and submit them for marking. The other reason for establishing the project is that there are students who are from far areas and cannot make it in time to attend their lessons. This system of online classes is also meant to help them so that they can attend the online classes effectively without having to travel to distant areas. The effectiveness of the Learn Dash system of cloud learning is that it is always available and one only needs to have an internet connection. The system is also mobile friendly as a student can attend classes on the online platform anywhere.

The main reason for establishing the online classes by using Learn Dash is to help students who cannot make to attend classes physically, those who incur costs in transport expenses and for those who come from other countries to attend classes which prove to be too expensive for them. Therefore, if the system of Learn Dash is not utilized, then students will be required to physically attend classes as there will be no online classes. The second fact is that it will raise problems of finances and efficiency. Students traveling from far places will not be able to attend classes on all scheduled days as they cannot afford to pay for the transport. Students from other countries will also drop out as they will face high expenses that they cannot be able to sustain. These will lead to a decrease in a number of students who register for courses in universities that do not use the Learn Dash for online classes. However, the Learn Dash system is limited to classes that do not require practical lessons.

Different educational institutions have tried to have the online classes but the systems that they have used to implement the classes has had different challenges as most of the features were not customized to the needs of the university and specific classes and it was expensive to customize the system. Comment by Marcus: Latifa, I think this is a good start. Most of the heart of the matter is about this part though, yes? The benefits for some students of having online classes is well-known at this point. The key for you is how your project does something that other systems are not doing or solves problems that other systems have. Just going off of what you have written here: is it easier to customize to context-specific needs? Is it less expensive? These are the sorts of details that are required to further specify your research area, problem, and solution. Reviewing previous research on what people are already doing will help you find a gap.
