Project Implementation Method

MOOC System for Islamic Sciences(Quran-il-Hakeem) is developed in Java Programming Language

The front end is designed in basic template method and all the backend logic is developed in Java Spring Boot

Oracle 19c is being used as relational Database.

The system includes 2 users. A resource person who would authenticate through the system. He would then define the course and chapters using all the MOOC techniques of Interactive learning, practice and graded tests and Peer review assignments. A learner after authentication would enroll in the course and they would go through Interactive resources and testing services of the system. The system would also test learners by giving them their peer's assignments to review.

Benefits of the Project

The “Massively Open Online Course System” version 2 is a web-based application where learner(s) will interact with the system to learn Quran-il-Hakeem. The goal is to allow people from all over the world to learn and understand the Holy book using interactive learning approach and then test their knowledge through computer-based testing. This mode of education is more convenient, affordable, and effective because it is an online system and people can learn the Quran without having to take admission to a formal Islamic institution. This system is designed to facilitate the distant learners of Quran-il-Hakeem by providing free registration and course enrolment facility which the self-paced learning facility. All system information is to be maintained in a database, which is located on a local database. The intended system is generic and can be used easily by any person with basic knowledge of the computer system. It will hugely benefit those people who cannot go to Madrasahs due to any reason such as the people living in non-Muslim countries where, there are no Madrasahs, can get benefit from our system.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The Final deliverable would be a web based application and a final report along with user manual.

The Web based application can be run in any latest browser and a database of localhost has to be installed in the PC. Since the system has not been launched officially.
