Project Proposal
Title
e-Tutor
for computer hardware
Background and
Justification
The ICT literacy becomes an essential life
skill today. Everyone, especially students have to equip this skill to survive
in their future in the technological world. Government education system
introduced different subjects to develop ICT skills. Students in grade 6-9 have
PTS (practical technical skills) subject which covers basics of ICT, grade 10
and 11 students have ICT as a subject and the grade 12 students have GIT/Advance
level ICT subjects. Successful delivery of these subjects is highly depending
on three factors namely, qualified teachers, number of periods (theory and
practical) and the computer lab resources.
Currently most of the
school students not get a good combination of these three factors.
This project is an interactive
e-learning (e-Tutor for computer hardware) tool for students to allow
self-study. The e-Tutor can minimize lack of qualified teachers by providing theoretical
knowledge and the practical knowledge in an interactive way using audio visuals.
This software is available any time once installed and distribute as an
interactive CD for students. Software provides interactive
activities/simulations for lab the practicals. A proper evaluation/examination
method is also being a feature of this software.
In the first step e-Tutor will mainly focuses on the “Computer
hardware”
e-Tutor will be
beneficial for the students to be skilled in ICT.
Target group
School
Students who are not having enough resources ICT (teaching and Lab
practicals).
Aims and Objectives
The
main objective of the project is to develop software based tutoring program
school students to develop their ICT skills. The computer hardware section will
be integrate during the first phase of this project.
- Student observed the parts of the computer system unit.
- Student identifying the main part of mother board.
- Student has to get experience to how to connect using ports
- Student identifying the uses of ports
- Student understands how to connect label
- What are the advantages for CPU and how it build on mother board

Introduction
This
project focuses on interactive e-learning (e-Tutor for computer hardware) tool
for students to allow self-study. The e-Tutor can minimize lack of qualified
teachers by providing theoretical knowledge and the practical knowledge in an
interactive way using audio visuals.
This project has planned to solve
the problem of student’s hardware knowledge. Most of the students work with the
computers but they do not know how to assemble this computer. This education
software help student to identify the hardware components and their importance.
