II. PROJECT SUMMARY
Undoubtedly, technology has transformed the way educators and education are brought to
people across the globe, especially in this time of COVID-19 pandemic. We now live in
an interconnected seat where the traditional concept of learning, face-to-face instruction,
is becoming increasingly less relevant. Learners, particularly the ones dubbed as digital
natives, are becoming dissatisfied with the stand-and-deliver approach to education that
dictates attendance, learning venues, and modes of participation. The emergence of
sophisticated technologies and devices has enabled a new generation of information
consumers to satisfy their demands for knowledge without the need to attend physically in
classrooms. Software providers, web developers, and educational institutions, cognizant
of this development, have embraced systems that can facilitate the management of
different learning areas and engagement of students in remote education. The
technologies that enable the virtual provision of different learning areas over long
distances are broadly termed LMS or Learning Management Systems. LMS can be
defined as web-based software platforms that provide an interactive online learning
environment and automate the administration, organization, delivery, and reporting of
educational content and learner outcomes.
As the ICT Coordinators of the Department of Education - Palawan National School, we

deem it as a responsibility to recommend and innovate a solution to the
challenge due to

pandemic in terms of implementing a school-based ICT-initiated project and delivering

ICT-assisted teaching and learning while at the same time, tapping and establishing strong
linkages with school’s stakeholders such as parents and external partners.
With this, the Proponent propose a Learning Management System for Palawan National
School with URL, "https://els.pns.edu.ph" in response to: UNESCO Sustainable
Development Goals which is to conserve and enhance resources, by gradually changing
the manners in which we develop and use technologies; DepEd's provision of learning
resources in the implementation of the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE
LCP); and integration of Self-Learning Materials (SLMs) with the alternative learning
delivery modalities particularly on the Online Digital Module of Modular Distance
Learning (MDL) and Asynchronous Learning of Online Distance Learning (ODL).
Just like any other websites and computerized systems, the proposed school website with
LMS will be done thru the following implementation arrangements:
1. Formulating a plan;
2. Stringent selection of web host provider: it is always a given that there is a need to
go through a rigorous selection process to ensure that the solution is fit to school's
requirements specifically on the number of users, storage and data protection
policies;
3. Assembling an implementation team;
4. Presentation of the plan to parents and other external partners;
5. Rigorous training of technical working group: considering the number of users
(both teachers and students), TWG is the point of contact if ever users experience
any issue while using the system. They will also be the LMS' in-house experts;
which means they would also train facilitators and sometimes users on how to use
the system to ensure that it keeps running smoothly;
6. Doing a pilot launch;
7. Getting feedback, evaluating and refining the process; and
8. Launching the LMS.
With having a strong background in web design and development, we take on the
challenge of designing and developing the system thru the insistent guidance and
approval of the school principal, Dr. Eduardo G. Santos. The LMS will be utilized to
organize SLMs in one location and provide unlimited access to electronic learning
materials that can easily track learners' progress and performance. The LMS is designed
to reduce development and printing cost and time, and it integrates social learning
experiences.
The development of the system will take approximately two weeks or more after the
payment for the domain registration and web hosting subscription amounting to less than
Php 25,000.00 has been made.
Finally, the LMS of Palawan National School shall be known as "ePNS Learning
System."

III. PROJECT BACKGROUND
Based on the enrollment and survey reports, PNS will offer Modular Distance Learning or
MDL and Online Distance Learning or ODL. Thus, a school-initiated program on
simultaneous simulations was conducted last August 4, 2020, to assess and evaluate the
pros and cons of the said learning delivery modalities. One of the highlights of the
simulation is the Online Distance Learning, where the teacher and students used
synchronous mode of learning delivery. Synchronous learning is the kind of learning that
happens in real-time, which means that the teacher and students interact in a specific
virtual place, through a specific online medium, at a specific time. The simulation
prompted more responsive exchanges between students and teachers and even immediate
personal engagement; however, technical glitches arose where the demand for high-speed
internet connectivity and lack of delivery flexibility were noted. Also, there was
unnecessary noise while the teacher was discussing the topic. An apparent scenario could
have been that one student was not able to turn off the audio mic that amplified
unexpected background noise. While taking note of these observations, quality in teaching
may can be hampered, so with learning.
The result of monitoring and evaluation of the PNS Administration led to the provision of
asynchronous learning for those students who chose the online digital module and Online
Distance Learning modes of learning delivery. Asynchronous learning is a general term
used to describe forms of education, instruction, and learning that do not occur in the
same place or at the same time. It uses interactive materials that facilitate information
sharing outside the constraints of time and location among a network of people. While
synchronous learning may still be applied to provide additional information on each topic
and give explicit instruction to the weekly activities and performances, asynchronous
learning will be the primary medium to disseminate the SLMs that will be created and
accessed through the "ePNS Learning System."
The ePNS Learning System uses a Moodle – an open LMS framework. Moodle is a
learning platform designed to provide educators, administrators, and learners with a single
robust, secure, and integrated system to create personalized learning environments. In
fact, this framework has been used by the University of the Philippine Open University
(https://www.up.edu.ph) and the TESDA online program (https://www.e-tesda.gov.ph).
Furthermore, DepEd has already embraced this framework thru these links,
https://www.lms.deped.gov.ph (for learning resources) and https://training.deped.gov.ph
(for professional development).
IV. PROJECT OBJECTIVES

A significant advantage of school website with ePNS Learning System is the ability to
place a wide range of resources in one location and make these accessible with one
login. The following are the main objectives of this project:

pns_1907@yahoo.com

SCHOOL
• To improve education accessibility, that is, eliminating barriers to teaching and

learning that PNS Administrators, Teachers, Parents, and Learners have found in
traditional classrooms due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• To improve the interaction between teachers and students.
• To facilitate contextualized delivery of content.
• To provide immediate tracking and assessment of learners to measure

effectiveness and compliance.
• To promote knowledge sharing through collaborative learning
V. PROJECT METHODOLOGY
We began with executing the necessary functions required to implement the use of ePNS
Learning System. Adding too many features at the beginning would be overwhelming for
most teachers and could cause them to reject this innovative tool. Teachers need to master
these functions before moving on to more advanced features.

C. Project Risk Management
A risk is the probability of the occurrence of a particular threat and the expected
loss. E-risk involves the chance at the time of the electronic transaction, whereas
threat means an anticipated danger. Common hazards for computers are viruses,
network penetrations, theft and unauthorized modification of data, eavesdropping,
and non-availability of servers and personal computers. During transaction,
original documents may be modified, tampered, or destroyed by the hackers'
active and passive attacks. Therefore, knowledge of risk would be given priority
in the provision of ePNS Learning System.
The following are the different threats and risks may encounter by teachers and
students and remedies to make the system reliable and efficient:
Threats:
➢ Confidentiality violation: An unauthorized party gaining access to the assets

present in ePNS Learning System.
➢ Integrity violation: An unauthorized party accessing and tempering with an
asset used in ePNS Learning System.
➢ Denial of service: Prevention of legitimate access rights by disrupting traffic
during the transaction among the users of ePNS Learning System. ➢ Illegitimate
use: Exploitation of privileges by legitimate users. ➢ Malicious program: Lines of
code to damage other programs. ➢ Repudiation: Persons denial of participation in
any transaction of documents. ➢ Masquerade: A way of behaving that hides the
truth by the hackers. ➢ Traffic analysis: Leakage of information by abusing
communication channel. ➢ Brute-force attack: An attempt with all possible

combinations to uncover the correct

pns_1907@yahoo.com

SCHOOL
Risks:
➢ Teacher's Risk
Teachers are responsible for providing weekly activities and resources using
the prescribed SLMs. Still, there will be common risks such as delivering
lectures, sending notes and assignments, accepting and marking answer sheets,
assessing and collecting scores or grades. Though students are taught to be
responsible for their learning, teachers still have to be concerned if students
themselves religiously perform those activities.
➢ TWG's Risk
Designing, developing, and delivering ePNS Learning System requires a
quality of system embedded features such as high ended web server &
database server, high bandwidth internet leased line and a quality LMS, along
with a robust infrastructure capable of sustaining multiple users and
networked applications. TWG should suggest the remedies of these risks
correctly; otherwise, the total project cost will be almost double. Another risk
that TWG
must deal with storing passwords in clear text in the application code as
hackers may be able to access the source code of the script and get access to
the password of the databases. Also, a password system may at risk or break
down when users' passwords can be stolen, changed by attackers.
➢ Student's Risk
All Students must be oriented on the appropriate ways to use their login
information; otherwise, an attacker may intrude and use this to access their
LMS account. TWG and teachers are not always available to help the
students, so they need to be disciplined to work independently. Furthermore,
all students must be aware of phishing where attacker sets up fake web sites
which look like a real ePNS Learning System where their learners are
prompted to enter some confidential information.
➢ Other Threats and Risk in ePNS Learning System

Besides the above risks, there are various other threats present in the system
as: Natural threats may be caused by natural disasters like fire, storm, volcanic
eruption, earthquake, floods, etc. ePNS Learning System can be affected
highly by those threats.
Deliberative act: Threats may come from fraud, blackmail, theft, etc.
Unintended: There may be some unavoidable threats like computer bug, power
outage, handling error, etc.

pns_1907@yahoo.com

SCHOOL
Remedies of Risks
Authorized users of ePNS Learning System face different risks or threats as

discussed in the previous section. The following tools or techniques may be
imposed to minimize those risks.
➢ Digital Right Management (DRM) on ePNS Learning System assets One of the
effective strategies to be implemented to reduce risks associated with ePNS
Learning System assets is Digital Right Management or DRM. A shareable
asset is a simple resource, such as a static HTML page or a PDF document, or
a collection of files, such as images and a style-sheet. On the other hand, assets
of ePNS Learning System can be defined as e-learning contents (Quizzes,
Quarterly Assessments, Assignments, Grades), cryptographic key content,
personal user data, messages between users, network bandwidth, message
integrity, and message availability. In this discussion, writers will define e-
learning assets as services provided by ePNS Learning System such as SLMs,
examination or assessment questions, students' results, user profile, forum
contents, students' assignment, and announcements. DRM makes the system
safer for its contents. ePNS Learning System is working either in a distributed
network or in Internet where multiple rights associated with learner, teachers,
content providers, PNS administrators, and TWG come into play as content
and services are created, distributed, aggregated, disaggregated, stored found
and used. That is why digitization is needed. In a general sense, DRM should
be used for license agreement and copyright protection or prevents copying.
➢ Cryptography
The purpose of confidentiality is to ensure that information and data are not
disclosed to any unauthorized person or entity. Also, readers must able to rely
on the correctness of the subjects' contents. One of the techniques in this aspect
is cryptography. Different cryptographic tools and methods are needed for the
implementation of security in Internet-based transactions. There are two types
of algorithms in cryptography.
▪ Secret-key algorithms
In secret-key algorithms, the encryption & decryption key is the same.
It requires the sender and receiver to agree on the key prior to the
communication. The primary function of this algorithm is the
encryption of data. Examples of such algorithms are Data Encryption
Standard (DES), International Data Encryption Algorithms (IDEA),
and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). So only for encryption
techniques for ePNS Learning System content we can use these
techniques.

pns_1907@yahoo.com

SCHOOL
▪ Public-key algorithms
Public key cryptosystems, on the other hand, use one key (the public
key) to encrypt messages or data, and a second key (the secret key) to
decrypt those messages or data. Here three mathematical models that
are mainly used: Integer factorization, discrete logarithms, and elliptic
curve. Different public-key algorithms are RSA, El-Gamal, Diffie
Hellman. We can use these techniques at the time of sending question
papers and receiving an answer sheet. A public-key algorithm can be
used to authenticate a user.
➢ Digital Watermarking
This technique allows an individual to add hidden copyright notices, audio,
video, image signals. So multimedia database server of ePNS Learning
System may be protected against unauthorized use. When also information
like quarterly assessment questions, SLMs, hand-outs, supplementary
materials, CLIC materials, etc, will invisible to the viewer, the chances of
hacking will be nil or less.
➢ Security Socket Layer or SSL Certificates

SSL certificates are an essential component of the data encryption process
that makes internet transactions secure. They are digital passports that
provide authentication to protect the confidentiality and integrity of
website communication with browsers. The SSL certificate's job is to
initiate closed
sessions with the user's browser via the secure sockets layer (SSL)
protocol. This secure connection cannot be established without the SSL
certificate, which digitally connects company information to a
cryptographic key.
