The institution is growing in providing a quality education which is benchmarked by national and international academic standards for which we need a shift in the current system.
On the research of change requirement we found that Learning Management System (LMS) would be the best solution.

Learning Management System manages, tracks and reports on interaction between the learner and the content & the learner and the instructor.
Why Learning Management System ?
Perform learner registration, track learner progress, record test scores, and indicate course completions, and finally allow instructor trainers to assess the performance of their learners.
In our research in various Learning Management System (LMS) , we found MOODLE to be the suitable LMS for such a big educational institution.
