14. 6. INTRODUCING EXERCISE SERVICES TO
E-LEARNING (MOODLE)
 Moodle as suitable e-learning software for this study
 Using exercise services in e-learning (through Moodle)
increases student confidence before exams.
 The proposed system also gives easy access to the
teacher and the student outside official working hours, as
well as reducing the administrative burden of the
curriculum through the exploitation of the means and tools.

15. Fig: The Scenario for Exercise Services in Moodle
 The proposed model has four components,
1. BROWSER,
2. SERVER,
3. LOGIN/REGISTRY
15
4. DATABASE.

16. 6.1 BROWSER
 Three main users:
1. Administrator,
2. Teacher and
3. Student
 Administrator has the ability to use almost all the functions on
the system, such as add or remove student, lecturer and
section etc
 Lecturer who can access specific functions of administration,
such as add new section to existing module
 Student who can browse, answer the exercises, and update 16
her /his personal information

19. Fig: Browser 19

20. 6.2 SERVER
 Important component in our model which has modules
and exercise services in Moodle.
 The proposed model offers users a list of modules, and
allows them to choose a module that meets their needs
 Then, the model directs the users to the exercise page,
and allows them to begin the training exercise.
20

21. 6.3 LOGIN/REGISTER
 The browser can log in as normal but if they do not have
a username and password, then the system directs them
to register before gaining access
 The system allows students to update and check their
personal information including their password.
 Teachers cannot register themselves; the only person
who can add teachers is the administrator.
21

23. 6.4 DATABASES
 Moodle has a large database (approximately 200
tables)
 Our system should only add new tables for exercise
activities and these are purely related to exam
exercises
 We suggest adding the minimum of three tables:
1. Exercise table,
2. Question table and 23
3. Answer table.

24. 7. CONCLUSION
 This study is aimed at adding to the new e-learning
technology that is sweeping through academic institutions.
 This exercises service is a means of assessing the
knowledge acquired by a student from a module. The
implementation of such exercises online will become a vital
aspect in the education process.
