Elearning Courses at IIUM
IIUM Elearning Courses
The unofficial IIUM Elearning site (maintained personally) has been used actively since last year. The number of students at the site approaches to 500 which nearly makes 1 out 5 in Kulliyyah of Engineering at IIUM. Since the site has no connection to the online IIUM students‘ Database at IIUM, the student records have to be initiated by students and confirmed and later maintained by us. Despite the difficulties and the involvement needed to survive on internet I would suggest the elearning staff to all my colleagues who would like to set an elearning site for their courses. Just go to Open Source ELearning System, Moodle’s site from here and download the latest software. It is very easy to maintain. You need PHP and MySQL at your webserver. Unfortunately, I could not setup the elearning system inside my personal site at IIUM due to lack of space and some unsupported libraries and functions.
