Abstract

Technological advancements in tutoring systems for Computer Studies have increased research interest in this field. This study presents the design of a remote learning system specifically for Grade 9 Computer Studies at Chisamba Day Secondary School. The proposed system aims to optimize lesson preparation by providing teachers with easy, one-click access to all teaching resources via a web-based or desktop application. Equipped with an updated syllabus, this platform assists teachers in developing lesson plans efficiently, using pre-designed templates and examples. Lesson evaluation and analysis are streamlined, enabling teachers to assess instructional outcomes with minimal difficulty. Additionally, the system supports continuous student learning outside the classroom, offering a wide range of interactive resources accessible from any location. A central feature is its e-learning capability, which enables teachers to administer online tests and exams, thereby supporting remote learning when in-person instruction is not feasible. This functionality helps students engage with and understand new topics while accessing supplementary and remedial materials as needed. The application is built with Java, which enhances its stability and competitiveness in the educational technology market, setting it apart from other systems developed with different programming languages.
