Abstract / Introduction

The E-Learning Course Sharing Platform is a web-based application designed to bridge the gap between educators and learners by providing a centralized hub for online education. The platform enables instructors to create and publish courses with video lectures, notes, practice exercises, and quizzes, while learners can easily search, enroll, and track their progress across various subjects. It provides an alternative to traditional learning by allowing students to learn at their own pace from anywhere.

To support knowledge retention and skill-building, the system integrates practice assignments for self-learning and assessments such as auto-graded quizzes and instructor-graded tasks (optional). This combination allows learners to test their knowledge and strengthen course concepts effectively.

Beyond course delivery, the platform also encourages collaboration and community building through discussion forums, interactive Q&A, and feedback mechanisms where learners can engage directly with instructors and peers. Upon successful completion of a course, certificates are automatically generated, making the system not just a learning tool but also a professional development resource. With an admin-controlled dashboard for user and course management, the platform ensures quality content delivery, smooth functionality, and a secure environment for both instructors and learners.
