Most of the current LMS systems contain rudiments that motivate students toward education and encourage them to work at a veritably minimum position. Thus, most of the students use the LMS only to study their courses and upload their assessments. The aim of this research is to motivate and ameliorate students, educational situations using LMS. However, once an LMS system is in place, it should greatly contribute to the quality of students’ education and their educational conditioning. This research paper examines the functions that should be included in an LMS system and the functions that should be updated in an LMS system for the sake of the educational quality and educational provocation of scholars. And using a simple questionnaire, data has been gathered and considered them in order to derive functions like, GPA tracking, Assignment alert feature, Generating a monthly attendance report and an Academic calendar. The common approach used in exploration to collect data was a questionnaire and dissect it using expansive and relative styles. Based on the research data, it appears that a high number of students prefer the idea of having a Learning Management System with new updated features.

Therefore, this acts as a guide for Sri Lankan micro-entrepreneurs when choosing the most suitable project management system for their enterprises. Moreover, this study produces recommendations for future developments that can address the needs in the Sri Lankan micro-entrepreneurial arena. When considering academic literature focused on the use of project management tools and techniques in the performance of organizations, there exists a considerable research gap, because most of them are conducted regarding large firms, leaving a larger gap to explore this aspect in the context of Small and Mid-Sized enterprises. So, this study intends to address that gap. By reviewing the existing academic literature and conducting surveys using Sri Lankan online micro-entrepreneurs, this study assesses the suitability of five selected web-based project management systems for the Sri Lankan online micro-entrepreneurial context. As this study implies, Sri Lankan online microentrepreneurs face some challenges when adopting project management systems to their operations. As various web-based project management systems possess diverse characteristics, it is possible to evaluate the systems and choose the best fitting webbased project management system for micro-entrepreneurial digital ventures, and this study provides a contribution to that evaluation process.

Accurate evidence forms the foundation for a fair legal system. Most on-site records in traditional crime scene investigations rely on photographs and manual sketches, which can overwhelm the jury in a court setting. In need of a more objective, precise, and comprehensive solution for crime scene documentation, 3D reconstruction of crime scenes for various purposes such as learning and teaching, courtroom representation, evidence annotations, and visualization has been trending in forensic science. Integrated 3D scanning platforms could be used to obtain evidence from the crime scene and these data can be visualized in 3D with VR headsets which allow respective personals to move through the crime scene and explore different perspectives. This data can also be preserved and transmitted easily when needed. This study reviews the technology used, applications of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality in forensic science, and the challenges they face in using it. Key challenges such as medical conditions, cost, data security, and data accuracy are discussed and future research development areas such as scalability and storage management of crime scene multimedia data, implementing low-cost high precision solutions, use of blockchain-based techniques for secure file sharing and adoption of immersive technology has been suggested. Important reliable academic database sources were investigated as potential data sources, including Scopus and Google Scholar, which index publications and conferences supported by organizations like IEEE, ACM, Elsevier, and SpringerLink.

It thoroughly examines their security foundations, key distribution mechanisms, vulnerabilities, and implications in modern computing. While revealing vulnerabilities within classical methods, notably in key distribution and susceptibility to evolving quantum threats, this review places a significant focus on the intricate nuances and diverse techniques within Quantum Key Distribution. It highlights QKD’s theoretical invulnerability, its diverse methods for secure key exchange, and its resistance against quantum attacks, underscoring its pivotal role in quantum cryptographic frameworks. This assessment points up classical cryptography’s vulnerabilities amidst advancing computing power and interception during key exchange. Conversely, it underscores the resilience of Quantum Key Distribution against quantum-based threats, presenting diverse methods for intrusion detection. By delving deeply into Quantum Key Distribution techniques, this review underlines their potential to revolutionize secure communication paradigms. Rooted in quantum principles, these techniques pave the way for enhanced security, delineating a transformative path in securing future communications.
