MODELING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A DISTANCE LEARNING SYSTEM: STAGES, REQUIREMENTS, FUNCTIONALITY

Abstract

The article examines the essential aspects of organizing and implementing a distance learning system in the context of modern educational development. The study analyzes the principal stages of distance education deployment, ranging from initial planning to the full-scale operation of the system. A comprehensive specification of requirements for the system’s functionality is outlined, including technical, functional, and organizational dimensions. The article defines the core user groups of the distance learning system, with a particular focus on identifying their roles and specific needs within the learning environment. Special emphasis is placed on the design of the user interface, which must ensure intuitiveness, accessibility, and adaptability to diverse user expectations. Additionally, the article addresses the requirements for the database structure intended to manage and store information related to users, courses, and learning outcomes. The core system modules are identified and described, including modules for registration, administration, educational content management, assessment, and data analytics. The proposed approach facilitates the development of an efficient and usercentered distance learning environment designed to meet the evolving demands of contemporary education.
