The methodology used in developing the Website was Extreme Programming (XP) and the adopted approach is object oriented design. The design features of the website consist of some functionality that includes: First of all, the system will allow administrator to add new user (student/lecturer), view and edit record. Secondly, user will able to login after successful system validation. Thirdly, the system will allow lecturer to upload, download and update learning resources. Fourthly, students will have access to all learning materials and they will able to perform self-evaluation after reading available learning resources. This self-evaluation is one of the major contributions of the system towards teaching and learning activities. Furthermore, the new system will allow students to search different uploaded learning materials on the websites. In addition to that, only the administrator has the privilege to delete and edit user. Keywords: learning material/resources, e-learning, Management Information System (MIS), Website, coding, programming and script. 1. Introduction The world has turn into a global village due to rapid development in technology. Teaching and learning is the back bone of any development and therefore it needs a special attention. An E-learning refers to the use of electronic media and information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. The important of E- learning in any academic institution cannot be overemphasis because it facilitates both teaching and learning activities. Hence, E-learning needs to manage very well in order to achieve its objectives. For this reason, developing Management Information System (MIS) for E-learning becomes necessary. Management Information System is an organised integration of hardware and hardware technologies, data, process and human elements designed to provide timely, integrated, relevant, accurate and useful information for decision making purposes. Bidigoli (2010). In practice, the management of any of these entities is quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and management strategies depending on the project which is being taken into consideration for building a management information system (Nfor, 2012), quoted (Lucey, 2004). Effective data management is one of the biggest problems of academic institution. These data include student records, result, staff records, and library and laboratory equipments. Due to huge records and data redundancy a lot of time and energy resources are wasted in managing them. The Federal Polytechnic Bali, Taraba State Nigeria, is a newly established academic institution and the management wants to take the advantage adopting el-learning system for managing academic activities in order to facilitate teaching and learning effectively. For this purpose, I have taken the intuition as case study for developing Management Information System for E- learning. 1. Aims and Objectives The aim and objective of the research is to design and implement management information system for an e- learning that will able to achieve the following: • To facilitate teaching learning activities, eliminate data redundancy, minimize energy and time consumption. • Large storage, ease retrieval and secure of data.
