A Study on the Assessment of the Proposed Alitaptap Learning Management System Using SWOT Analysis

Abstract

Most of the existing learning management systems (LMS) are designed and give students a steeper learning curve meaning, taking so much of their time in learning the system, or it would be their parents who would navigate the system for them. To address this issue, the researchers proposed Alitaptap, a learning management system (LMS) specially designed for kids at the preschool and elementary levels. It provides a child-friendly user interface, utilizing colors that would not only be attractive to them but also direct them to the right buttons. It would also utilize icons and images that would entice the user group to use the application more. It also has the functionality to download all the necessary files, presentations, and tasks for the week for the users to be able to do their tasks offline. This study tackles the use of SWOT analysis to be able to assess the Alitaptap app and identify its different strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. A questionnaire utilizing the six thinking hats strategy was utilized and distributed to different respondents and after the responses, a SWOT analysis was conducted followed by a TOWS Matrix to identify the state of the app. Overall, the Alitaptap app is a great potential product in the learning management system category aimed toward children.
