This paper reflects the possibility of doing adaptations on a learning management system (LMS) depending on the necessities of a company or institution. In this case, ACEM allows the definition of courselevel and platform-level reports and the automatic generation of certificates and diplomas for Moodle LMS. These adaptations are intended to complement all the different learning platforms by contributing added-value features like the generation of customizable diplomas and certificates and reports, which allow the obtaining information about both grades and participation in every activity of a course. All this necessities are not provided by default.

Learning Management

This research intends to explain the autonomy and creative thinking skills of prospective elementary school student teachers in mathematics with the learning management system (LMS)-assisted science phenomenon. The data collection was done by using test instruments in the form of essay questions to capture the creative thinking skills and a non-test in the form of a questionnaire was used to capture the autonomy skills of prospective elementary school student teachers. The data were analysed through several stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, data conclusions, and data validation using triangulation. The result of the research shows that using the LMS can improve the creative thinking skills of prospective elementary school teachers, while their autonomy skills in experimental classes and control classes indicate no difference. This happens because students were given the same opportunity to explore the material independently. Thus, a way to develop autonomy through mathematics learning needs to be explored.

Method Approach

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the perspectives of university students on the learning management system (LMS) and determine factors that influence user experience and the outcomes of e-learning.Design/methodology/approachThis paper employs a mixed-method approach. For qualitative data, 20 semi-structure interviews were conducted. Moreover, for quantitative data, a short survey was developed and distributed among the potential respondents.FindingsThe results showed that students, particularly in programs where courses are mainly offered online, are dependent on such learning platforms. Moreover, the use of modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment (Moodle) as an application of LMS was rated positively, and e-learning was considered as an effective sustainable learning solution in current conditions.Originality/valueThe authors have illustrated empirically how the notion of UX of the LMS provides a means of exploring both students' participation in e-learning and their intention towards using such learning platforms.

<span>This paper analyses the change and innovation strategies that Charles Sturt University (CSU) used from 2007 to 2009 during the implementation and mainstreaming of an open source learning management system (LMS), Sakai, named locally as </span><em>CSU Interact</em><span>. CSU was in January 2008 the first Australian University to implement an open source learning management system institution wide. The unique characteristics of implementing change and innovation in higher education are discussed as well as CSU's change model, which comprises eight dimensions that can occur in any order and also in parallel, and is based on the work of Kotter, Cohen and Synnot. Two key strategies have emerged to support change, namely the building of learning communities and the sharing of best practice in implementing educational technology. Other findings were that the change was largely driven from the bottom up and with top management support and through the writer's role, from middle management in terms of top down strategies. Technological innovations in the context of an open source learning management system have wider, external implications than the local institution given the free flow of information and intellectual property within the community.</span>

The Right

We are in the age of information and communication technology (ICT), where the learning communities (i.e., learners, teachers, scholars, etc.), mainly in higher education domains, are more technology dependent. The stakeholders always handle advanced research, study and technologies, and therefore they need some authentic and updated information to satisfy their daily needs. They simply need some updating as well as real-time interactive digital learning platforms that can provide fast, authentic and updated information to satisfy their academic needs. This learning platform completely depends on the judicious designing methodologies, and this designing methodology totally depends on the reliable and effective digital learning tools or learning management system (LMS). The present study is an attempt to design the standard process towards selecting an authentic, reliable and effective open source learning management software/system (OSLMS) for the higher education platform. In this regard, the study has been designed in three layers for the selection of the popular and most downloaded OSLMS in the world. Later in the third layer, a comparative study of the final six OSLMSs has been conducted based on the features under various criteria and parameters to select the right one. Lastly, it is found that the Moodle fulfilled most of the criteria and is selected as the most authentic, interactive and trustworthy OSLMS for the higher education system.
