Paper Abstract:
|
An effective learning management system (LMS) is a vital component of an E-Learning infrastructure in universities
nowadays. Learning Management System can be seen as a structured repository of courseware materials provided with
additional communication facilities such as discussion forum, annotations, chats, etc. LMS can be also seen as a
communication area where students upload their assignments and get feedback from the teachers. From the technical
perspective, LMS is an Internet-Based Information system serving a big number of remote users. In this paper, we present
a list of security issues that we experienced during the years of practical LMS usage on the university level. We especially
investigate security issues that are specific for the modern LMS that are constructed in accordance with the so-called AJAX
architecture. The practical value of this paper is defined by possible reproduction of the security preconditions that are also
described in the paper. |
