 2. LITERATURE SURVEY

E-learning has become an essential part of modern education, offering flexibility and
accessibility to learners globally. Numerous studies and platforms have explored the potential
and challenges of online education, which have significantly influenced the development of e-
learning systems. In this section, we review some key literature on e-learning platforms, the
technologies involved, and challenges faced in delivering effective online education.

Online Learning Platforms:

The proliferation of e-learning platforms like Coursera, Udemy, edX, and Khan Academy
has revolutionized the way educational content is delivered. Coursera and edX offer online
courses from top universities, while Udemy and Skillshare provide affordable courses taught
by professionals. However, many of these platforms face issues related to course curation, user
engagement, and accessibility. According to Chou & Chang (2012), despite the growth of
online education, learner retention remains a challenge due to the lack of personalized
experiences and the absence of real-time support. These platforms, although widely successful,
often overlook the varying learning speeds, preferences, and interactive needs of diverse users.

Technology in E-Learning:

Technologies like Learning Management Systems (LMS), Learning Analytics, and

Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been instrumental in shaping e-learning. AI and machine
learning algorithms are being increasingly integrated to offer personalized learning
experiences, adapting to the learner’s pace, preferences, and knowledge gaps. Alvarez et al.
(2019) highlighted how AI can automate personalized course recommendations, and Jiang et
al. (2020) demonstrated the role of predictive analytics in improving student engagement and
performance tracking. However, as Rehman et al. (2021) point out, while these technologies
are promising, many existing platforms fail to implement them effectively, leading to less-than-
ideal learning outcomes.

11
Challenges and Gaps:

Despite advancements in technology, several gaps remain in the current e-learning systems.
Tunc et al. (2018) found that while many platforms are designed to deliver courses, they often
fail to provide real-time feedback or collaborative learning opportunities, which are essential
for deep understanding and retention. Additionally, the integration of video-based content,
though central to modern e-learning, often presents challenges in terms of streaming quality,
data consumption, and accessibility in areas with limited internet infrastructure.
The literature suggests that there is a growing need for more interactive, scalable, and
personalized e-learning platforms. Platforms should not only offer courses but also focus on
features such as real-time progress tracking, community engagement, and personalized
learning paths. Furthermore, gamification and adaptive learning technologies are being
explored to enhance user engagement and learning outcomes. As the demand for online
learning continues to rise, there is a pressing need for systems that integrate AI, personalized
learning, and robust content management tools while addressing the scalability and
accessibility issues faced by many current platforms.
In conclusion, the evolution of e-learning systems is shaped by technological advancements,
but significant challenges remain, particularly in areas of user engagement, scalability, and
personalized learning experiences. This project aims to address these gaps by developing an e-
learning platform that leverages modern technologies to offer a more interactive, scalable, and
inclusive learning environment.

frontend (client-side) communicates with the backend (server-side) to access and manage data.
The architecture is designed for scalability, reliability, and maintainability, ensuring the
platform can handle increasing numbers of users and content over time.
 Frontend (Client-Side): The user interface (UI) is built using ReactJS, a JavaScript
library for building interactive user interfaces. The frontend will provide a responsive
and intuitive experience, allowing learners to browse, enroll in courses, watch video
lessons, and track their progress. The frontend will communicate with the backend
through RESTful APIs to retrieve and display course data, user information, and real-
time progress.
 Backend (Server-Side): The backend is built with Node.js, an event-driven JavaScript
runtime. Express.js, a web application framework for Node.js, will be used to create
APIs that manage user data, course content, and interactions between users and the
system. The backend also handles user authentication, using JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
for secure login and session management.
 Database: MongoDB, a NoSQL database, is used for storing data such as user profiles,
course information, and progress tracking. MongoDB’s flexible schema design allows
for easy scaling and management of various types of data (e.g., video content, quizzes,
assessments).

3.5 UML Models

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standard language for writing

software blueprints. The UML is a language which provides vocabulary and the rules for
combining words in that vocabulary for the purpose of communication. A modeling language
is a language whose vocabulary and the rules focus on the conceptual and physical
representation of a system. Modeling yields an understanding of a system. The Unified
Modeling Language is a standard language for specifying, Visualization, Constructing and
documenting the artifacts of software system, as well as for business modeling and other non-
software systems. The UML represents a collection of best engineering practices that have
proven successful in the modeling of large and complex systems. The UML is a very important
part of developing objects-oriented software and the software development process. The UML
uses mostly graphical notations to express the design of software projects.
The UML is a language for:
 Specifying: It is just like a blueprint created by an architect prior to the construction.
 Visualizing: Visualizing is concerned with deep analysis of systems to be constructed.
 Constructing: Modeling also provides us with mechanisms which are essential while
constructing a system.
 Documenting: Finally, modeling justifies its importance by applying all its credentials to
be bound in a piece of paper referred to as a document.

Building Blocks of UML :

The vocabulary of the UML encompasses three kinds of building blocks:
 Things are the abstractions that are first-class citizens in a model.

21
  Relationships tie these things together.
 Diagrams group interesting collections of things.
Here, for designing the system for the detection of Neovascularization and creating a web
application for the user to work with the system, three UML diagrams are drawn in STARUML
which are : Use Case diagram, Class diagram and Sequence diagrams.
In the Use Case Diagram, all the users are represented as actors and the main functionalities of
the system are represented as use cases and associations are marked among actors and use cases
are represented using directed associations.
In the Class Diagram, different classes are generated and add their attributes and operations.
And the associations between the classes are established.
In the Sequence Diagrams, the main actors are represented using lifelines and representing the
complete movement as messages between the actors.

StarUML:
It is an open-source software modeling tool that supports the UML
(Unified Modeling Language) framework for system and software modeling. It is based on
UML version 1.4, provides eleven different types of diagrams and it accepts UML 2.0 notation.
Features:
 It lets you create Object, Use case, Deployment, Sequence, Collaboration, Activity, and
Profile diagrams.
 It is a UML 2.x standard compliant.
 It offers multiplatform support (MacOS, Windows, and Linux).
3.5.1 Use Case Diagrams

A use case diagram at its simplest is a representation of a user's interaction with the system and
depicting the specifications of a use case. A use case diagram can portray the different types of
users of a system and the various ways that they interact with the system. This type of diagram
is typically used in conjunction with the textual use case and will often be accompanied by
other types of diagrams as well.

22
 Figure 3.5.1 Use Case Diagram

3.5.2 Sequence Diagram

A sequence diagram is a kind of interaction diagram that shows how processes operate with
one another and in what order. It is a construct of a Message Sequence Chart. A sequence
diagram shows object interactions arranged in time sequence. It depicts the objects and classes
involved in the scenario and the sequence of messages exchanged between the objects needed
to carry out the functionality of the scenario. Sequence diagrams are typically associated with
use case realizations in the Logical View of the system under development. Sequence diagrams
are sometimes called event diagrams, event scenarios, and timing diagrams.

4. TESTING AND RESULTS

4.1 Testing.

Testing is a critical phase in the development of an e-learning platform to ensure that all
features work as expected, user experience is smooth, and the platform is secure, reliable, and
scalable. The testing process involves multiple stages and methodologies, each focusing on
different aspects of the platform’s functionality, security, and usability..
8.1 SYSTEM TESTING
s given to user to user the software must be tested whether it is solving the purpose for which
it is developed. This testing involves various types through which one can ensure the software
is reliable. The program was tested logically and pattern of execution of the program for a set
of data are repeated. Thus the code was exhaustively checked for all possible correct data and
the outcomes were also checked.

8.2 MODULE TESTING

To locate errors, each module is tested individually. This enables us to detect error and correct
it without affecting any other modules. Whenever the program is not satisfying the required
function, it must be corrected to get the required result. Thus all the modules are individually
tested from bottom up starting with the smallest and lowest modules and proceeding to the next
level. Each module in the system is tested separately. For example the job classification module
is tested separately. This module is tested with different job and its approximate execution time
and the result of the test is compared with the results that are prepared manually. Each module

24
in the system is tested separately. In this system the resource classification and job scheduling
modules are tested separately and their corresponding results are obtained which reduces the
process waiting time.

8.3 INTEGRATION TESTING

After the module testing, the integration testing is applied. When linking the modules there
may be chance for errors to occur, these errors are corrected by using this testing. In this system
all modules are connected and tested. The testing results are very correct. Thus the mapping of
jobs with resources is done correctly by the system

8.4 ACCEPTANCE TESTING

When that user fined no major problems with its accuracy, the system passers through a final
acceptance test. This test confirms that the system needs the original goals, objectives and
requirements established during analysis without actual execution which elimination wastage
of time and money acceptance tests on the shoulders of users and management, it is finally
acceptable and ready for the operation.

 Node.js: A JavaScript runtime environment that runs on the server-side. It is
used to build the backend of the platform, handling server-side logic,
database interactions, and API creation.
 Express.js: A web application framework built on top of Node.js. It
simplifies the process of building RESTful APIs and handling HTTP
requests.

32
  JWT (JSON Web Tokens): A secure method of transmitting information
between the client and server. It is used for user authentication, ensuring
secure and stateless user sessions.
Database
 MongoDB: A NoSQL database used for storing user data, courses,
progress, and other relevant content. MongoDB is highly scalable and
flexible, making it an ideal choice for the platform’s needs.
 Mongoose: An object data modeling (ODM) library for MongoDB and
Node.js. It provides a schema-based solution for managing and validating
data.
Authentication & Security
 Bcrypt.js: A JavaScript library used to hash and securely store user
passwords. It ensures that sensitive information is protected in the database.
 Passport.js: A middleware for handling authentication in Node.js. It is used
to manage login, registration, and user session management.
Testing Tools
 Jest: A JavaScript testing framework used to perform unit and integration
testing on both the frontend (React components) and backend (API routes).
 Mocha & Chai: A testing framework and assertion library for Node.js, used
for server-side testing.
