into the system. The admin can assign courses to the lecturers and students. The lecture
student

The lecturers can manage different activities of courses such as uploading course content,
uploading assignments, uploading quizzes, and providing feedback. The lecturers can also update
or delete the course content as per their needs. The content added by the lecturer will be stored

ent semester courses. They can also access
