The advancement of information technology has changed the education landscape. The process of teaching is no longer the same. Information technology has made e-learning possible and available on a large scale. The main component of an e-learning is a learning management system (LMS). LMS has been widely used and are accessible through the Internet. By connected and accessed to the Internet, LMS are exposed to various threats. Proper understanding of these threats combined with strategy and best practices countermeasures will ensure a safe learning environment. Therefore this study will look into the information security aspect of LMS. There are two main purpose of this study. First, this study provides a review of information security in e-learning environments and explains the important of information security. Confidentiality, integrity and availability are considered to be the primary pillars of information security. In addition to these pillars, the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium introduced a common body of knowledge (CBK) comprised of ten domains relating to specific information security topics. These domains are the foundation of security practices for those involved in information security. In this article, each of these is explained within an e-learning context. It is recommended that institutions employing e-learning adhere to these domains. By applying the principles and practices associated with each domain, e-learning institutions should be able to provide an e-learning system with high confidentiality, integrity and availability. The second purpose of this study is to understand student perception of an information security perspective of an e-learning management system. To achieve this purpose, a survey was conducted targeted at undergraduate students in a distance learning program. 497 students responded to a survey questionnaires. Apart from demographics information, the survey asked the respondent to rate six statements related to how they perceived security of the learning management system which they are currently using. All six statements are rated using a five point Likert scale anchored at 1 (Not at all) to 5 (Very much). Frequencies analysis was conducted to show the profile of the respondent. Overall, respondent has strong positive perceptions towards security of their LMS. This study provides an overall picture of information security elements of a learning management system. It can serve as an introduction which help LMS administrator to understand the issues and possibilities related to the safety of LMS.


The context of this work is that of designing an IMS-LD model for a new smart LMS. The work is specifically in the field or seeking to promote using information technology from a distance. The approach is to first think about the conditions for creating a real new smart LMS between learners and designing the IT environment that supports this LMS. In this chapter, the authors try to adapt the IMS-LD model with a new smart LMS based on traditional pedagogy, behaviorism, cognitivism, and social constructivism. This adaptation will go through three stages: first, the development of an LMS model; second, the study of the correspondence between the developed model and the IMS-LD model; finally, their transformation to the IMS-LD model.

Proses pembelajaran yang berlangsung di MAN 1 Kubu Raya memiliki beberapa kendala yaitu adanya keterbatasan waktu dalam penyampaian materi, evaluasi, dan pemahaman siswa yang berpengaruh terhadap hasil belajar siswa. Learning Management System (LMS) sebagai alternatif media pembelajaran untuk keperluan administrasi, dokumentasi, pencarian materi, laporan sebuah kegiatan, pemberian materi-materi pelatihan kegiatan belajar mengajar secara online yang terhubung ke internet. LMS berfungsi mengelola desain pembelajaran yakni membuat materi pembelajaran online berbasis web dan mengelola kegiatan pembelajaran serta hasil-hasilnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menghasilkan aplikasi Learning Management System pada jenjang Madrasah Aliyah serta mengetahui peningkatan hasil belajar siswa menggunakan media pembelajaran yang telah dikembangkan. Metode pengembangan sistem menggunakan konsep model SDLC air terjun (waterfall), konsep tersebut digunakan untuk perancangan sistem. Penelitian ini menggunakan pengujian User Acceptance Test (UAT) dan pre test – post test. Pengujian UAT dilakukan oleh ahli materi, pengajar, dan siswa untuk mengetahui kelayakan media pembelajaran yang telah dikembangkan. Sedangkan pre test – post test dilakukan menggunakan dua kelas untuk mengetahui adanya peningkatan hasil belajar siswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa media pembelajaran yang dikembangkan dinyatakan sangat layak berdasarkan hasil pengujian UAT oleh ahli materi dengan skor 91.42%, pengajar dengan skor 84.95%, dan siswa dengan skor 84.29%. Hasil analisis data pre test – post test menggunakan skor N-Gain terjadi peningkatan belajar siswa yang menggunakan media pembelajaran LMS yakni persentase peningkatan nilai sebesar 40.79% dengan kriteria sedang (medium) dimana skor g ≥ 0.3, sedangkan siswa yang menggunakan media pembelajaran tradisional yakni 15.93% dengan kriteria rendah (low) dimana skor g ˂ 0.3.

Technology that is increasingly developing will create a life journey to the digital world. Currently, information technology is very helpful in daily work from the lower class to the top. They can use information technology to get the information needed. Currently X University is developing a distance learning process using the Learning Management system information system as a result of the outbreak that is currently hitting this country, of course, lectures are currently being stopped. And learning is done by oline. Of course, currently online learning can be done using a variety of existing applications, but it certainly has shortcomings in data management when using common applications. Therefore university x developed an online learning system using a Learning Management System (LMS) to make it easier for university x to monitor online learning activities. So that everything can be realized properly, an assessment strategy is made based on existing problems by getting solutions from SWOT analysis, Balanced Scorecard and also Critical Success factors to assess what needs are needed so that the use of LMS can be successful by using Knowledge Management.

The context of this work is that of designing an IMS-LD model for collaboration space of a learning management system (LMS). The work is specifically in the field or seeking to promote by means of information technology from a distance. The approach is to first think about the conditions for creating a real LMS between learners and designing the IT environment that supports this LMS. In this chapter, the authors try to adapt the IMS-LD model with a collaboration model for learning management system based on the social constructivism.
