EduHelp – An Online Tutoring Application
(2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Fernandopulle, S.R.; Warnasooriya, W.M.C.D.B.; Jayasinghe, J.M.H.N.; Theeraj, S.M.D.; Samarakoon, U.; Kumari, S.
E-learning via electronic mail, the Internet, the Worldwide Web (WWW), and multimedia has emerged as a result of the convergence of digital technologies and growing interest in the computerized delivery of higher education. The rapid emergence of Covid-19, a lethal disease caused by the Corona Virus, shocked the entire world. It was labeled a pandemic by the World Health Organization. This has posed a challenge to the global education system, forcing instructors to switch to an online form of instruction overnight. Many academic institutions that had previously been hesitant to adapt their traditional pedagogical method now have no choice but to fully embrace online teaching-learning. Because the platform is new to students and teachers, it appears that they are having some difficulties conducting their classes. Hence in this paper, we proposed an E-learning Application called EduHelp to design and build a tutoring platform that includes payment validation for each student, lesson summaries with a video summary note, and more. Upload relevant files and papers by automatically identifying and directing them, as well as creating automated questions and monitoring student attention.

Evaluating Teaching Content and Assessments Based on Learning Outcomes
(2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Pallegama, P.M.O.N.; Kumari, K.A.M.R.; Dissanayaka, D.M.D.P.M.; Ravihansi, A.V.Y.; Karunasenna, A.; Samarakoon, U.
A modularized syllabus content assigned to different units of a subject proves very useful to both teachings as well as the student community. In each module, learning outcomes are defined. In each learning outcome, lesson learning outcomes are defined. When the Teaching Content (Lecture content), Learning activities (Labs sheets and Tutorials), Final Question Papers are being made the subject learning outcome should be considered and it should be made within the subject learning outcomes. Then the teaching and learning process will be done properly. Nowadays Revised Bloom's Taxonomy standard is used to structure the Teaching Content, Learning Activities, and Final Question paper of a course in the best way. Currently, there is no proper solution to corporate above areas according to the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. This paper discusses an automated system that provides the features to verify the module and lesson learning outcomes and their levels according to Revised Bloom's taxonomy and to verify that the teaching content and learning activities are within the learning outcomes. Beyond that, this system uses various technologies and algorithms to improve the accuracy and efficiency of this research. This automated system is able to achieve to the final outcome with the best accuracy and efficiency than the manual process.

Science Zone : An Augmented Reality based Mobile Application for Science
(2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) De Silva, W.; Naranpanawa, P.; Hettihewa, U.; Liyanage, P.; Samarakoon, U.; Amarasena, N.
In recent years, technology has rapidly developed, and it has provided many technological advancements for the field of education with an attempt to improve and overcome its limitations. Augmented Reality is among these latest technologies which support to improve learning environment around the world. It can bring education to a new level which can help students in many significant ways. In Sri Lanka, augmented reality is rarely been used for the purpose of educational enhancements. Therefore, it was decided to develop an augmented reality embedded mobile application for the G.C.E Ordinary Level Students in order to make it easy for them to learn Science with more enthusiasm and interest. This research has been used marker-based approach to transmit images or objects in the text book into the real-world scenes in order to create a more productive learning environment for the students. The first version of the application covers four main areas in the Science curriculum, such as; Preparation of Acids, Human Anatomy, Organization of Plants and Biosphere Cycles. Feedback for the application was taken from randomly selected ten science teachers and twenty grade eleven students and accordingly the application was further developed. Their feedback proves that the application would satisfy the common requirements of students, and it would be an immense support in scoring good results for science.
