Abstract:
E-Training, defined as the use of information and communications technology (ICT) for
supporting the educational process, has motivated Pakistan to apply ICT in its educational
systems. Pakistan’s higher and secondary level educational institutes which are
geographically and socially isolated face several problems, including challenges
pertaining to the acquisition ofstudy materials, and making the commute to travel to the
educational institutions themselves. These issues, in turn, result in the country's stagnant
‘national literacy rate that we see today, with approximately 60% of the population being
categorized as illiterate. While the world makes advancements towards science and
technology, Pakistan takes a back seat. [18]
The research done against the proposed system reinforces the idea to make learning
accessible to anyone, anywhere. We aim to develop an interactive e-training and learning
management system (e-TLMS) to be used by Pakistan’s institutes. The research for
Online Training Platform for Development & Career Growth (OTPDCG) system is aimed
at supporting teaching, training, and learning functions by allowing for the creation and
of learning materials, making them available, easily accessible, and sharable by

students or trainees from different institutes of the country. OTPDCG's implementation
makes use of open-source LMS to help generate a timely solution for its system
development. In this specific context, focus group discussion as inspired by action research
methodology was used. The research evolved into a triple helix process in close
peration with other stakeholders. The development ofthe e-TLMS system made use of
software engineering discipline finally, it is considered that leplication and miiroring will
make learning materials highly available to end-users
