Development of an investigative process model to monitor e-learning system :

Abstract

High rate of digital technologies and increased interest in the computerization of systems in education have contributed to e-learning through electronic media like internet, world wide websites and others, areas of system security, integrity and confidentiality within which college has to integrate the technology challenges in their teaching. Plagiarism and communication still stand as challenges in question. This study developed an investigative process model to monitor E-Learning system and prevent cyber-attacks a case of Busitema University. The adopted case technique that sought to address the concerns under investigations Further, having considered a case study strategy, mixed methods were adapted such as qualitative and quantitative. Additionally, research adopted design science strategy since the study developed a model as the final artifact. Data Collection Methods and Instruments are presented from the Server Computers using Microsoft Excel and Csv files. These helped to capture the information from different stakeholder’s paths, the authentic logs analyzed was 10695 making 91.4% while unauthentic logs 1005 making 8.6% over the total number of 11700 logs analyzed. A critical review of the literature was provided and an objective model based on process investigative model for the success in e-learning was developed. In addition, some security challenges are briefly discussed.
