Abstract

Electronic media can be used to provide an effective means of curriculum delivery, enhancing learners experience using e-learning. In a rural setting, the Internet often proves difficult to access and many times inaccessible. This paper focuses on how an e-learning platform can be deployed on an intranet to solve this problem and improve curriculum delivery in rural area settings. An e-learning system of knowledge delivery was developed that provided e-learning service on the intranet of an academic institution of Federal Polytechnic Ilaro, Ogun State, Nigeria. The model was developed using Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (MOODLE). A network server was used to run the software developed on Moodle platform. A total of eight (8) access points was set up to cover the polytechnic campus and these were connected to the server room via a 24-port Cisco switch. The switch was used to provide interconnectivity to the server and the server room wireless base station. The developed software model was deployed on the server over a wireless network facility to support about 2000 concurrent users (students) on the polytechnic campus. After implementation, the result shows that the developed system promised to positively affect the manner of knowledge delivery on campus which by extension will apply to a rural or remote area and can be adopted by other institutions and colleges having this challenge irrespective of their locations. The developed model can enhance curriculum delivery in rural settings where Internet access is not available.
