Secure E-Learning Using Data Mining Techniques

Objective:
The main objective of this system is to develop the enhanced security for e-Learning
application through the data mining techniques which will be a booming application of this
era.

Project Overview:
Data mining is the concept for extracting the appropriate data from the large set of database.
In today’s world it is widely used for many applications where learning applications is one of
the major part. The e-Learning is the booming technology where anyone can learn everything
from any part of the world. It is the digital way of learning the concepts and does not require
the help of other persons to do so. It also requires the large space for data storage such as user
information, course records and course details and so on. There are lot of learning
applications available on the internet among which some might be subjected to frauds. So the
security is the demanding thing every users looking for to protect their details. The users also
seek for flexibility of using the applications. Thus the admin acts as the major source for
providing the security in this system. The users should be authenticated to access the
materials available on the internet. The encryption and decryption on the study materials has
been performed in this study in order to avoid access by the people outside the platform.

Proposed System:
This system proposes the development of secured e-learning application where it
allows only the authorized people to access the services. For the user to authorized the
cryptographic algorithm is used where the secret key is send to the user’s email id. The user
is allowed to access the platform only after he/she authenticates the secret code by entering in
the website.
This system also includes various services. They include the following
 Discussion forum
 Online test
 Rating based review of the database contents
 Filtered web search
The discussion forum allows the user to post the queries and discuss about the new
concepts. The feedback collected will be used for the development of the sites. This secured
learning allows user to analyse their knowledge standard by taking online tests. The test
results will be analysed by the admin authorization. The rating and reviews would act as an
impression board for the users to understand the application well. So this application also
welcomes the user’s ratings. The security has been implemented in order to eliminate the fake
ratings by which people can be deceived easily and it is the modern technique employed
widely in the market to make their apps popular. The filtered web provides the best outcome
of search when the user enters the keyword by eliminating the unwanted page loads. The
elimination of unwanted page loads also saves more space and time in the system.
