E-learning systems application programming interfaces security management

Abstract

The platforms for end users to explore and use were designed with proper effort by the program developers. Programmers take every precaution to create a system with a robust user interface and minimal maintenance requirements. Numerous lines of code are used by software programs to carry out processes and complete tasks that end users specify. Learning institutions use online education to better meet the needs of each student at a lower cost while looking for ways to supply high-quality educational content. This has a significant impact on the development of open and distance learning as well as online education. Additionally, it is expected that the use of the digital education system will keep expanding due to changes in student needs and technological developments in online education. To identify and communicate with application software, electronic communication requires a protocol. Application programming interfaces (APIs), which allow applications to speak with each other and share information, are one of these methods of communication.  However, this research is designed to improve the privacy trust model in relation to eLearning platforms for the prevention of personal digital data and to curb the present cyber threat in the distance and open online learning environment. The research will conduct a review of past literature on users’ security models and trust privacy in an e-learning environment. It will be established in this research that digital data breaches are imminent and require a proper security solution. The study will provide an overview of the techniques and indicators of privacy breaches and develop a model that integrates trust and privacy in e-learning environments by contextualizing the peculiarities of open and distance studies (for online learners). The research is aimed at improving the existing eLearning security model. Also, a case study or practical example illustrating the application of the proposed API security solutions in real-world e-learning scenarios was conducted based on a survey of institutions as well as a survey of e-learning end users in order to gain a more tangible grasp of the concepts presented in this study.
