Abstract
Learning is the act of acquiring knowledge or skill through study. In order to survive in this ever evolving universe, one is expected to acquire various survival skills and thus improve himself to become a better individual. There is the need for every child to be educated. It has been realized that learning can be more fun and of greater value outside the traditional four walls of a classroom. With software such as the Learning Management System (LMS), students can now acquire knowledge in the comfort of their rooms, places of residence and other locations of convenience. Major problems encountered by students involve inaccessibility to course materials and the lecturers. Our main objective is to provide an easier platform for student-lecturer relationship and easy dissemination of information by the creation of LMS software. The Agile software methodology was employed in the development process. This is because it provides visible results for quick iteration and advancement of the system. We discovered that creating an LMS can be quite challenging because it requires time to transform our ideas into reality with effective use of proper tools for the software development. It is indeed an excellent method of impacting knowledge and should be implemented in all Nigerian institutions of higher learning.
