Abstract – The training of continuing education courses is one of the fundamentals of the educational process. These courses are a natural extension of the efforts of the educational process at universities to represent an integrated system through which staff training to improve their performance and raise their efficiency. E-learning and continuing education are important to the university from which overlooks the world. These interact positively with various educational patterns through specialized training courses that meet the needs of the university and the community. So it is found that going to support the application of traditional education learning mechanisms such as e-learning her ability to support and build a high level staff is one of the most important challenges that we must work on it. In this paper an evaluation system lecturer depending on interactive options that helps to use the page safely and effectively is presented. This research deals with access to intelligent and successful system. Also it has a high performance in the provision of content courses according to the needs of each student regarding his style of learning. The system is applied to the professors of the University of Kirkuk/Iraq. In addition it provides the establishment of courses and lectures online for various computer programs and applications to demonstrate the success of the system with the enormous development in the field of computers. There are many ways and techniques for sending instruction over the web, instructional content can be produced by web pages written in PHP. Academic courses can be produced wholly through the web with improved the online educational systems for instructors and students. Therefore the proposed system permitting for more actual evaluation and more precise assessment of the learning development.

order to achieve better effectiveness and efficiency of education, including the use of a computer and its accessories and means of electronic display and satellite channels and satellite and the Internet, electronic libraries. All teachers cannot produce the equivalent message to every learner. This raises the need of Web Based eLearning [2]. Web-Based electronic training centers offers throughout the day who wants to, as well as in the place that suits him by a variety of techniques and methods to provide educational content visible elements of fixed and mobile and audio-visual effects Which makes it more interesting, education more efficiently, less effort, and less time, this is now known as e-learning. Most of the studies conducted on e-learning outcomes confirm the effectiveness of this type of education in the development of students and faculty efficiency; therefore many countries have accelerated the introduction of e-learning experience in universities and schools. Web-Based electronic training centers has many positives, including; shorten the time and reduce the effort involved in teaching, this make education more interesting and fun, teach a large number of students without time and space constraints, stimulate self-education, the possibility of review a large amount of information, ease of updated educational materials for the introduction of electronically with all that is new, and so on. The idea of e-learning as a key to the development of Keywords – Web Based Training Centers, Training Dataset, the educational level in the world and go to its highest MySQL Server5.5, PHP. levels to continue the great technological development and work effectively successful society. It increases the I. INTRODUCTION awareness of the community and its institutions and the The world lives in the recent period of Big scientific governments of the importance of this education and technological revolution, and has had a significant contemporary technological challenge. E-learning defined impact on all aspects of life. Education and research has as the application of broadband internet and computers to become a demanding new educational methods and support teaching and learning [3]. Web-Based training models to solve many of the challenges on the global centers use of computer and Internet technologies to level, including an increase in demand for education with provide a wide array of solutions to allow learning and a shortage of educational institutions‫ و‬As well as enhance performance. Based on that is designed training informational quantum increase in all branches of and evaluation system electronic for lecturers across the knowledge. ELearning courses used to educate large web pages and to ensure that this system is effective and groups rather than individuals [1]. E-learning is education successful in both areas of education and performance by Internet technology, where publishing content via the evaluation. E-learning is quickly growing as an adequate Internet or an intranet or extranet, which is considered one method of education [4]. E-learning is instruction of the modern trends in education system. E-learning delivered on a digital device [5]. Educational departments model has I want to help the learner to learn at the place utilize controlling processes which contain of consecutive where he wants and in time favored. E-learning is one of phases [6]. We planned a common design of stimulating the most vital topics of concern to those responsible for model for e-learning. This can help Lecturers to design education everywhere. Technological advances have led to courses more efficiently, and support students practice the emergence of modern educational methods and means incomes more proficiently. Furthermore, measurable data based on the employment of technology innovations in will be collected to assess the result and efficiency of the online courses [10-38].

E-learning Characteristics

II. PROBLEM STATEMENTS

- Provide a digital multi-media content (texts written, sound effects, graphics written in all patterns, moving images, still images, video footage. - E-learning system will not be maximized unless learners use the system [7]. - Provide educational content to the learner through a multimedia-based computer networks. - Integrate these media with each other to achieve specific educational goals. - Managed this learning online, where media provides computer-based networks and a number of services related to the process of teaching and learning management functions. - E-learning is less expensive and achieve individual in education. - Interactive achieve in the education process (learner interaction with the teacher, with the content, with colleagues, with an educational institution, with the programs and applications - You can access it at anytime and anywhere without obstacles.

The Importance of E-learning E-learning helps in solving the knowledge explosion and the growing demand for education problem, and also increases the chances of acceptance in education. It can be the training and education of workers without leaving their business and reduce the cost of education. Web-based learning support Global Positioning System (GPS) education [8]. By web-based electronic training centers you can access to the curriculum, this feature makes the student in the case of stability so that he could get the information they want at a time that suits him. E-learning provided an immediate assessment tools to give the teacher a variety of ways to build, distribute and categorize the information in a quick and easy evaluation and simplicity student assessment.

The Planning and Development of E-learning Environment Through develop e-learning you need study of previous research on e-learning and take the results into account. Also study of current decisions and figure out who needs to develop and add new information or modify. You should identify the needs of learners and the requirements of the course before selecting the type of technology used. E-learning work training programs for lecturers and students about the technological means and how to use them. as well as it require equip each site technological facilities to the needy and easily accessible, while providing instant communication lines to solve problems faced by learners and allows students to work on exercises on the Internet so that a decrease in the error rates [9]. In addition help students and teachers by specialists for the use of technology, skill and take advantage of them as much as possible. Web training center involve classroom and processing facilities from the integration of technical requirements in terms of internal network and the Internet, and many computer labs. Moreover need the government to build a highly efficient communications network and cover all regions of the state.

- University academies and faculty professors may feel isolated or miss continuing educational up-to-date information and skill applications. - The life of an Academic is not stress-free and finding time to attending classes of continuing education. Also evaluation process during the workday is unbearable in the given current context of university. - Some courses and programs such as traditional hands-on courses can be difficult to simulate. - Unmotivated teachers or those with poor study habits may get enough courage to participate.

III. METHODOLOGY The model is used for online education systems. Training for lecturers planned through the establishment of courses for different topics within the field of computer system. The trainer is evaluated in these courses by registering and then participating in the session exam Online. We propose a system called Online Instructor Evaluation System (OIES) based on adaptive E-learning scheme to solve the previous problems. This system can be provide academic staffs with consistent yet flexible course profiles, forming a scalable and adaptive e-learning framework for any type of users and instructors, encourage further adoption of continuing education practices, enhance the E-learning experience for the academics, ensure academic teachers have all same required course information, secure evaluation attributes that meet university policies, provide better quality assurance and reporting, and integrate with other existing systems that simplify existing administrative processes. We define four main categories of challenges in elearning system, which have significant impact on the overall performance of academic evaluation and university accreditation system. Furthermore presents experimental testing environment applied to Kirkuk university academic staff and shows statistical performance and accuracy in different situations. It designed an educational site for courses and exams for academics who have upgrades in functional class and so shorten the time they solve the problem of attendance of courses held for the purpose of scientific and functional upgrades in order to concern have scientific research and participation conferences and teaching students in universities and colleges.

Data Set Used for Testing We create the data samples of real life online networks to do evaluation. The machine specifications are Corei5 CPU, 4GB RAM, 500GB Hard Disk and Windows 7. The Software specifications are PHP version 5.3, MYSQL version 5.5. The dataset contains 500 online workers’ profile. Each worker profile contains the following features: name, User name, password, course name and Subject shown in Figure (1) and Figure (2):
