Online Learning System on Providing Safe Drinking Water

Abstract

The principle authority belongs to National Water Supply and Drainage Board on providing safe drinking water to the nation. The daily requirement of water is immeasurable. Serving up to provide safe drinking water to the consumers is the most important responsibility of all employees in this organization. The quality and the standard of distributed water are very important and thus involving proficient staff throughout the whole process is essential. Hence it is very important to train employees in mean time to keep up their knowledge and skills in top level. With the aim of this enormous task, I started this project to establish an Online Learning System on Providing Safe Drinking Water for National Water Supply and Drainage Board employees by making available Web Based Training facilities. This is an innovation for our employees and the requirement from the side of Training Division. Implementation of this project provides a new and innovative teaching paradigm which is more cost-effective, flexible and a high quality learning environment for training by making it available for vast numbers of employees simultaneously. The most popular, widely used, a free open-source learning management system or e-Learning platform - Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) has chosen as the main learning content management environment. Distinct e-learning authoring tools like Articulate Storyline, Smartbuilder, Xerte, Udutu, etc. have been used to develop more interactive lessons. Various audio/video/animation/graphic tools such as Audacity, Inkscape, Google Translate and more other freely available online tools were used to increase the interactivity of materials developed.
