| Summary: | Purpose–This study exploredthe utilization of ICT tools and resources in developing ICTeachMUqPO. Thisinformation e-learning module system is a web-based application designed to support the academic needs of bothfaculty and students, in particular to tracklearning progress.Method–The proponents conducted a group discussion andcollaboration with the end users andreviewed literature on faculty development andrelated studies to gather preliminaryinformation. They also identified all software and hardware specifications necessary in developing the system througha survey. The descriptive method of research was employed in designing the system evaluationprocess. Judgmental or purposive sampling was usedin selecting the respondents (n=113) who answered the evaluation survey. Result–The system evaluation survey was patterned after ISO 25010 and consisted of the following components: functionality, usability, reliability, performance, security, compatibilityand supportability. The overallrating of the system was 4.11, which indicated a“very good” grade. The portability test showedthat the systemcan run on any computing platform using different web browser applications. Conclusions–The result of the system evaluation by the respondent impliedthatthe system’s overall internal and external performance exhibited consistency and met the compliancerequirements set by the developers.Recommendation–The authors recommend thatteachers and students undergo ICTcapability training to get the most outof the functionalities of the ICTeachMUqPOe-learning management system. The school administrators may provide support in terms of enhanced accessibility of facilities, higher internet bandwidth allocation and better network infrastructure. The proponents suggest that further research be conducted using other variables, taking another direction such as assessing the learning outcome and behavior of the students using the system.Research Implication–E-learning or learning management systemscansave faculty memberstimewhen preparing for their classes. The system can make use of additional featuresbut in its present formit can already be a very usefuleducational toolto both the teacher and the student users. Making use of thistechnology could be an impetusfor transitioning to other methods of instruction, such as online teaching.
