Paper Abstract:	Using the Internet to enhance e-learning has become a trend in modern higher education institutes. E-learning platforms are increasingly becoming a significant part of the strategy for delivering online and flexible e-learning. The advantage of e-learning is the opportunity for students to interact electronically with each other and their teachers during forums, on discussion boards, by e-mail and in chat rooms. In addition, it increases the feeling amongst students that they have equal access to opportunities in the educational process, reduces the barriers of fear and anxiety, and enables them to express their ideas and to search for facts, making the information more pertinent than is usually possible in traditional classrooms. This paper will propose a new approach, developing a new activity for e-learning systems, that of exercise activities of exams. This exercise service is to be used as a means of assessing a student’s recently acquired knowledge, and the implementation of such exercises online will become a vital aspect in the education process. The main aim of this paper is to provide the exercises online for students, in order that they feel more confident before an exam. The proposed system will be analysed with UML (Unified Modelling Language), and implemented using Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle) software with PHP language. Security systems will be used in this approach for authentication and security purposes.
