The current system that is working is manual one. So it is cumbersome, slow, and sometime unreliable as well .It cannot be easily manipulated and can be easily tempered. Also the software which is available is hard to operate by individual who have no knowledge of computer. So the software which we are developing can be easily understood. So it is user friendly and can run easily on cheap hardware which is easily available on software Platform. It increases accuracy and dependability of the system. It is assumed software that we are developing would be widely appreciated by various organizations. hich are thinking of computerizing their operation. Its simplicity and dependability is the greatest advantage. Another advantage of the software is that it can be modified further according to the increasing need of the user.

The purpose of this pro!ect is """ . One of the most important uses of computers is an aid to users and administrators. This DISTANCE LEARNING SYSTEM helps scholars to do all information flows and communicate immediately, which saves a lot of time in doing paperwork. This report covers all information about working of the project and their benefits. In the information chapter all the information about the project is given. This chapter also inform about the platform on which the project has been developed. System analysis describes existing system, proposed system according to the needs and the feasibility. System testing informs about the testing module of the system, by which system has been tested after testing implementation describes how the user will interact with the system. In the input output screen layout input and the output are given, which is important to ensure that the results obtained from this project are correct and reliable. The next chapter about the scope of development indicates the benefits of the project.

,*- SC+#E
As the scope of the pro!ect is much large, It is very important in case of this organization where internet connection is not available. The future scope of this pro!ect is large# this pro!ect can be developed with oracle back ground and implementing nested table also.It can also be added to this engine in the form of a $uiz. The $uiz can be designed in a effective manner which can assess the knowledge gained by the student much accurately and the result can be further be used to enhance the contents of the website.

/istance 0earning system will give an e1tra spin to train the employee2s through networking and communication technology. This innovation will give many benefited to organization in training the employees. It is user" friendly pro!ects were user could work in there own place and in convenient time. This system mainly consists three different roles. )rganizer3 4onitors the whole system. Administrator3 Send response to the employee and maintains repository. Thus the pro!ect category is Internet and RDBMS.

This product can be used as an engine to computerize any of the sub!ects of any organization. The basic model supports 4acromedia 5lash 46 movie clips which can be used to animate any sort of educational contents in a interactive manner. The movie clips developed using this software can be delivered at much speed on internet. The assessment of the knowledge delivered can also be added to this engine in the form of a $uiz. The $uiz can be designed in a effective manner which can assess the knowledge gained by the student much accurately and the result can be further be used to enhance the contents of the website.
