DORTUS Distance Education System

WHAT IS DORTUS DISTANCE EDUCATION SYSTEM?

DORTUS Distance Education System is an innovative and rational education system in which the education is processed live, visually and audibly in a virtual environment through computer technologies, regardless of the distance between students and teachers.

GENERAL FEATURES OF THE DORTUS DISTANCE EDUCATION SYSTEM

• STUDENT-FOCUSED
• REMOVES BORDERS
• PROVIDES EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES IN EDUCATION
• IT IS A BARRIER-FREE EDUCATION SYSTEM
• IT IS DYNAMIC AND INTERACTIVE
• PROVIDES FAST AND EASY ACCESS
• PROVIDES ACCESS TO RICH RESOURCES
• IT IS REPEATABLE AND MORE EFFICIENT
• PROVIDES FAST FEEDBACK
• CAN REACH A WIDE RANGE OF STUDENT
• SAVES TIME AND COST

DORTUS DISTANCE EDUCATION SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE MODEL

DORTUS DISTANCE EDUCATION SYSTEM

• Using distance education technologies and delivering its content to users through educational media,
• Management and distribution of learning content and delivery of resources to students,
• Many features such as web conferencing, camera sharing, audio sharing, and lectures via documents (pdf, ppt, doc) that educators and students can participate in online in distance education courses,
• Authorization-based access to content and educational activities simultaneously and asynchronously, independent of time and space,
• Meeting the number of instant connections appropriate to the flow of the course program,
• Preventing situations such as data loss, excessive traffic congestion, and waiting times in the education system,
• To end the student and teacher rebellions that occurred due to the collapse of the distance education system due to density,

It configures a learning management system that can work with existing systems and hardware.

DORTUS DISTANCE EDUCATION SYSTEM PHASES

• ANALYSIS AND CREATION OF APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE

Analysis, discovery, and calculations are made for the institution. Then, the existing physical servers allocated are arranged according to the virtualization infrastructure, and the necessary security, management, and network configurations are made and checked. The virtualization plan is created according to the amount of physical servers or demand.

• ESTABLISHING, STRUCTURING AND STORING OF LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

This is the stage where the learning management system, virtual classroom/meeting system, web publishing, and sharing system are created, installed, and configured by virtualizing the allocated physical servers, and integration with other systems is ensured. It is also the stage where a high security system is provided by storing course records and documents with NFS technology.

• ENSURING MONITORABILITY OF ESTABLISHED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES

This is the stage where the hardware and software data of all installed services are visualized and metric analyzed, load tracking and instant connection count monitoring are provided in software, and the CPU, RAM, I/O, or network speeds are monitored instantly, and the status of physical and virtualized servers is monitored to detect possible problems.

• PERFORMING SECURITY TESTS OF THE SYSTEM

This is the stage where we detect and eliminate security vulnerabilities with certain tests to ensure network security and the security of physical & virtualized servers, thus ensuring that the system is more secure.

SOFTWARE USED

SAKAI

Sakai is an open source, free, and independent web-based educational software platform that supports education. Sakai is a Java-based community-sourced software. Sakai software includes many common features of course management systems, as well as many modules such as document hosting, homework transfer, online assessment and evaluation, and gradebook.

BIGBLUEBUTTON

BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system for online learning. It is to provide students with a high quality online learning experience. BigBlueButton  is an open source distance education system designed for distance education with multiple audio and video sharing, zooming, and extended whiteboard features for drawing. It was developed to enable the management of the process in distance education in a much more practical and much higher quality way. Since it is used with the HTML 5 client, the Bigbluebutton system helps to be usable on desktops, laptops, chromebooks, iOS, and mobile devices.

TURNITIN

Turnitin is a program that tests and shows the originality of your thesis, assignment, article, and any academic and scientific work. It shows in the best way whether it has been quoted or plagiarised.

NFS (Network File System)

It is an open source Unix/Linux file sharing service developed by Sun Microsystems and is a stable technology that enables file sharing between Linux systems.

LDAP

LDAP was created to establish a fast, scalable and manageable network infrastructure to ensure that all users can access information in the fastest and most continuous way. An automatic IP assignment system that uses LDAP records is used to automatically perform IP address settings on the network where computers are used intensively.

GRAFANA

Grafana is an open source, general purpose dashboard, chart, metric analysis and visualization application that runs as a web application.

ZABBIX

Zabbix is a free software that monitors the parameters of a network and the health and integrity of servers. Zabbix offers excellent reporting and data visualization features based on stored data.
