About 60% of professors from different schools use traditional teaching method wherein the professors teach their lessons inside the classroom and later on provide their students with quizzes and exams. Approximately 40% of professors from other department use social media like Facebook in disseminating announcements, handouts, and other school related activities.

However, using social media like Facebook in conveying announcements, handouts and other school related concerns may not be advisable because it may lead to some privacy and security issues.

The researchers used descriptive type of research to know the problems and to provide necessary solution for it. Based on the survey conducted, the researchers found out that the system provides better communication, collaboration, and learning between the professors and students. The system helps the professors to extend their class related concerns even beyond class hours. To further enhance the system, future researchers may examine a notification module for the posting of announcements, materials, and assessment.
