Abstract

In contemporary educational environments, Learning Management Systems (LMS) constitute fundamental information tools, providing an integrated digital environment for organizing, distributing, and monitoring the educational process. The objective of this bachelor’s thesis is the design, development, and evaluation of a modern, secure, and interactive web-based e- learning platform that emulates the functionalities of a production-grade LMS. To implement the system, an N-Tier architecture was deployed, utilizing cutting-edge web technologies. The backend of the application was developed using the Spring Boot framework (Java), leveraging Spring Data JPA and Hibernate for Object-Relational Mapping (ORM), while the file-based H2 database was utilized for data management. The frontend was designed using HTML5, CSS3, and asynchronous JavaScript, ensuring a fully responsive user interface and lightweight client-server communication via REST APIs and JSON data exchange. The application incorporates a strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system, supporting three distinct user categories with specialized capabilities:  Administrators (Admins): Possess full oversight of the platform, user management, and course management.  Instructors: Are capable of creating courses, uploading educational material (Lessons in PDF, Word, PowerPoint formats), assigning coursework (Assignments) with strict deadlines, constructing digital multiple-choice examinations (Quizzes), and managing the electronic Gradebook.  Students: Have the ability to enroll in courses, download material, submit assignments, participate in quizzes with automated grading, and track their academic progress. Furthermore, the system features an integrated internal Messaging system with unread badges for real-time user notification, alongside comprehensive internationalization (i18n) supporting dynamic language switching between Greek and English. In conclusion, extensive software testing verified the correctness, stability, and low latency of the system under realistic usage scenarios. This thesis successfully translated the theoretical principles of Software Engineering into a robust, functional, and scalable product, establishing a solid infrastructure ready to integrate future technological upgrades and be effectively utilized in a modern academic environment.
