Online Course on Sri Lankan HOME REMEDIES

Abstract

The people use lots of medicines for their day today life spending money to buy them. As result, they experience some bad effects of them. But there are better oriental medicines with Home remedies. The problem is that they have lack of knowledge. The people of new generation don’t know about herds and oriental medicines. Most of them need to learn about this medical techniques and methodologies due to the lack of learning methods and very old and time wasting methodologies. Therefor the people of new generation leave in contribution rapidly. Information technology is the main technology in the world. The internet has more power than anything. The eLearning is the most powerful technology for web based learning. Therefore in this project, home remedies have been combined with eLearning technology. In this project, I have examined the requirement of the community for home remedies. Then I analysed the context, the learner and content of the project. After that the functional and nonfunctional requirements were identified. Finally the Syllabus and course map were developed. ADDIE model and Merrill’s First Principles have been selected as the design principles. Then storyboard have been developed for the course and at last the project was designed by me. There were lots of tools which were used for development phase. Sinhala language has been used to develop the project. In this course curriculum, there are three main lessons with more sub lessons, particles, tutorials and quizzes. This project area is very wide, because there are lots of herbs and home remedy methods available here. However all the things have been well organized in the curriculum. After having developed the course that is implemented on Moodle and then it has evaluated. The evaluation was done through questionnaire. According to evaluation, I realized that the system has achieved its objectives and goals correctly.
