Benilda Eleonor V. Comendador and Alberto C. Guillo

Abstract—The paper promotes a cloud-based course management system for higher educational institutions. Thru cloud services the student’s assignments, examinations and other activities are automatically recorded in a database and immediately the results are evaluated. The system provides timely feedback to the learners regarding their rating. It provides online examination that can randomize questions from the question bank which provides unique set of questions per student. Thus, synchronous automated examination is secured even though there is limited space for the examinees and they are seated closely with each other as they take the exam. The said system was pilot tested to eighty (80) freshmen college students. Based on the result of the survey obtained from the respondents they highly recommend the proposed system. Thus, it can be utilized as an alternative strategy for delivering courses to facilitate resources and services in the classroom.

Index Terms—Cloud-based application, course management system, didactic model, synchronous learning.
