ABSTRACT
Recently, the need for online collaborative learning in educational systems have increased greatly because of COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has provided an opportunity for introducing online collaboration and learning among instructors and students in Nigeria. Currently, several schools, colleges, universities in Nigeria have discontinued face to face teaching and learning. Many schools resorted to ineffective alternatives such as the use of televisions and radio programmes to carry out distance education (DE). These alternatives have challenges such as lack of monitoring and evaluation of students’ learning. Collaborative Learning Management System (CLMS) is a research project that aims to assist instructors in achieving their pedagogical goals, organizing course content, collaborating, monitoring, and supporting students' online learning. It is an interactive, online based as well as android based system that has been designed, implemented, tested. The system demonstrates that it is robust, interactive, and achieves the predefined goals. As a Software Development Approach, it was created using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) Methodology. It also provides a secured and reliable platform for the schools, colleges, and universities to implement an online learning system.
