    Enhancing Modern Education Through an AI-Integrated Learning Management and Support System (LMSS)
    (Faculty of Engineering, 2025-09-09) Rashminda, J
    The rapid advancement of educational technologies has underscored the limitations of conventional Learning Management Systems (LMS) in effectively supporting the evolving demands of learners and educators. While traditional LMS platforms primarily focus on content delivery and administrative tasks, they often lack the capacity to foster active engagement, facilitate meaningful collaboration, and promote participation in broader learning experiences. This paper presents the design and functional implementation of a prototype for a Learning Management and Support System (LMSS), an AI-enhanced platform built to address these limitations by offering a more holistic and student-centred approach to digital education. LMSS integrates course management with interactive features that encourage student collaboration, peer-to-peer communication, and involvement in academic and extracurricular events. These capabilities are designed to support a more engaging and socially connected learning experience while also simplifying instructional workflows for educators. The system incorporates adaptive learning tools and real-time insights to better align learning processes with individual needs and institutional goals. This paper reviews the existing literature, highlights gaps in current LMS implementations, and details the development methodology, architecture, and feature set of LMSS. The system’s anticipated impact is grounded in established research findings demonstrating that adaptive learning approaches can significantly enhance student engagement, AI-driven early intervention can improve retention rates among at-risk learners, and realtime analytics can reduce instructor workload related to feedback provision. By integrating these evidence-based practices into a unified platform, LMSS is designed to foster learner motivation, deepen engagement, and support teaching effectiveness. Ethical considerations such as user privacy and data governance are also addressed to ensure responsible and transparent use.

    WORDEX: Early Dyslexia Detection and Support
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Ganegoda, S.H; Dissanayake, O; Samarakoon, S; Jayawardana, N; Thelijjagoda, S; Gunathilake, P
    Dyslexia is a prevalent and complex learning disability that affects approximately 5% of primary school students worldwide. It often manifests as persistent difficulties in reading, writing, spelling, and overall academic performance, which can lead to long-term educational and psychological impacts if not addressed early. To facilitate the early identification and support of dyslexic learners aged 7 to 10, this paper introduces Wordex, an innovative and adaptive educational platform. Wordex is designed to screen for multiple dyslexia subtypes and provide targeted interventions through engaging, interactive, and personalized learning activities. The platform features an integrated machine learning-based screening system that analyzes user interactions and performance metrics to assess the risk of dyslexia. Upon identification, the platform delivers tailored remedial exercises that align with national school curricula, aiming to strengthen specific cognitive and linguistic skills. Wordex is developed using a modern technology stack including Spring Boot, Flutter, Python libraries, Firebase, and MongoDB, and incorporates capabilities such as image processing, supervised learning algorithms, real-time progress tracking, and cloud-based data management. A user-centered design approach and iterative testing cycles were employed to ensure the platform is accessible, intuitive, and pedagogically effective. Wordex contributes significantly to the field of educational technology by offering a scalable, research-informed intervention tool. Future enhancements include multilingual support, broader age group coverage, and integration with classroom learning environments.
