Abstract—Most of the existing learning management systems
(LMS) are designed and give students a steeper learning curve
meaning, taking so much of their time in learning the system, or
it would be their parents who would navigate the system for
them. To address this issue, the researchers proposed Alitaptap,
a learning management system (LMS) specially designed for
kids at the preschool and elementary levels. It provides a
child-friendly user interface, utilizing colors that would not only
be attractive to them but also direct them to the right buttons. It
would also utilize icons and images that would entice the user
group to use the application more. It also has the functionality
to download all the necessary files, presentations, and tasks for
the week for the users to be able to do their tasks offline. This
study tackles the use of SWOT analysis to be able to assess the
Alitaptap app and identify its different strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats. A questionnaire utilizing the six
thinking hats strategy was utilized and distributed to different
respondents and after the responses, a SWOT analysis was
conducted followed by a TOWS Matrix to identify the state of
the app. Overall, the Alitaptap app is a great potential product
in the learning management system category aimed toward
children.
Index Terms—Learning management system, SWOT
