Abstract


We know the world is heading towards the virtual side, and we must adapt to it, especially in academic fields. In this paper we propose to develop a social media application for students in Albania as a modern and responsive solution that combines cutting-edge technologies to create a user-friendly interface for students to engage in real-time conversations with each other, store and manage large amounts of data, and collaborate on various academic-related topics. After extensive research and market study, we have identified the shortcomings of current e-learning applications to create the best suitable and enhanced application to solve the problems we are facing today. Our goal is to create a suitable and enhanced environment for e-learning, responding to the needs of academic community and providing a quality of teaching experience virtually. We have designed a user interface that is suitable and easy to use for users of all computer literacy levels. The interface will enable intuitive and easy navigation and use of the application, which will help to create a close collaborative environment and support among e-learning participants. Data security and privacy will be a special priority, by implementing strong security protocols to protect students’ and lecturers’ personal data and information. This will provide a secure and reliable environment for all users of our e-learning application.
