Abstract An e-learning system developed for distance learning based on the Ugandan syllabus. In this project, the pedagogical basis underlying the design and development of the system is explained. Through the use of this web-base application, the processing of test exercises is automated and made faster.

The goal of this work is to leverage the popularity of web-based learning to the Ugandan learners.
