E-Learning Information System Model at SMK Raksana Medan

Abstract

E-Learning can be viewed as a system that enables teachers as a provider of learning materials as well as learning managers and students as learning participants can learn and interact directly by using an electronic media such as computers and telecommunications equipment connected to the Internet network. SMK Raksana Medan is one of the vocational schools which in addition to focus on providing science and expertise to the students also focus on the formation of student character and personality reflected in the culture of SMK Raksana namely HOPE (Honor Our Parents Everyday). The absence of E-Learning information system makes it difficult for students to ask or discuss between them. The existence of this E-Learning information system can certainly improve the quality of teaching and learning process. The research method used in this research is SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) method which is a very good design methodology because it identifies well the needs of the user. E-Learning Information System designed to enable learning is done synchronously (direct interaction) and asynchronous (interaction indirectly). The information system will be designed using PHP Programming Language and MySQL database. The results of the study are expected to answer the needs of students and teachers of a system that can enable students and teachers to do the learning process after the learning process at school ends.
