Learning Management

Over a number of years, the Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) has encouraged and supported moves to Learning Management System (LMS) replacing aspects of paper-based and face-to-face teaching and learning including, assignments, workshops and examination. The views of learners and academics were explored to consider the advantages of the system as well as potential challenges. Twenty-two participants were involved in qualitative data gathering by means of focus group discussion and semi-structured interviews, which were comprised of 12 M.Phil students and 10 academics from the Faculty of Education. Thematic analysis was carried out by applying themes and codes. Numerous advantages were identified with the use of Learning Management System. However, it was found that the approach did face some challenges. Learners often lacked easy Internet access and the necessary skills to use new technologies efficiently. Academic staff required considerable time for the development of online materials. Major training needs arising from the findings and it was recommended that the university must consider setting up small campuses in rural areas as well as provided mandatory training and support for learners, especially those from rural areas. There is also a need for formal training for academic staff and the sharing of ways by which the new technologies can be used effectively and efficiently in enhancing all aspects of distance learning.

Introduction. The training of future foreign language teachers should focus on current advances in the IT field, in particular on the use of elements of distance learning in mastering professional and general competencies. One of the common learning management systems that provide distance education is the Moodle system –Learning Management System(LSM), courses, virtual learning environment, or just a learning platform that provides educational subjects and administrators with a large set of tools for computerized teaching and learning. Purpose. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the features and advantages of distance learning in the information and educational environment of higher education, the structure and principles of working with distance courses in the Moodle system during the training of future teachers of foreign languages, which is used at Mariupol State University, and also to determine the advantages of the Moodle learning management system in the educational process. Results. We believe that the Moodle system, which was developed in the logic of the “pedagogy of social constructionism” (P. Berger and T. Lukman), is able to significantly increase the level of education if the work of students is properly organized in it: it will create a solid base and allow to prepare a specialist who is well trained and possesses competencies at a high level. On the example of our distance course “Methodological workshop” for students of OS Master in specialty 014 Secondary education “Language and Literature (English)”, which organically combines the theoretical principles and practice of teaching English, as well as in-depth study of the courses“Methods of teaching basic foreign language in secondary education”and“Modern technologies for teaching a basic foreign language (English) in high school”, which have practical importance in the professional development of future specialists, we analyzed the productivity of work organization and the effectiveness of students learning in Moodle, using the principle of “constructive coordination” (John Biggs). In its construction, we approached the planning of the entire process of studying the discipline as a set of interconnected types of educational activities of students. The principle of “first content, then technology” works here. This course contains three components that are consistent with each other: 1) expected learning outcomes, consistent with the objectives of the educational program and programmatic learning outcomes; 2) assessment, which verifies certain learning outcomes; 3) all types of activities during the course that are aimed at achieving learning outcomes. Conclusion. According to online surveys and our own experience, the use of distance learning courses created in the Moodle system in the educational process of students allows them to better study a specific academic discipline, helps to improve students’ achievement; complements enriches and makes the learning process convenient for both students and teachers.

Purpose of the study. The purpose of this article is to consider the theoretical and practical aspects of designing adaptive training courses aimed at creating an individual educational trajectory, taking into account various mechanisms of adaptation.Materials and methods. This study includes a review of bibliographic sources on the formation of an individual learning path and the implementation of adaptive learning in e-learning courses. It also includes constructing of a structural model of an adaptive learning management system with a description of possible adaptation mechanisms that act as parameters for the formation of a personalized learning path, and a description of an example of the implementation of an adaptive course in the LMS of the Bashkir State Agrarian University.Results. An analysis of factors that influence the choice of a professional educational trajectory is presented. At the same time, different levels of formation of factors are described, for instance, such groups as macrofactors, mesofactors and microfactors are distinguished and characterized. The concept of a flexible adaptive learning model is considered and possible resources (mechanisms) for its adaptation are analyzed. With regard to the management model of the formation of an individual trajectory of training, such parameters as the form of training, the content of training, training methods, the organization of e-learning in the electronic training course, the model of a student, and the trajectory of training are distinguished as adaptation resources. A structural model of an adaptive learning management system is being made, including the following series of structural elements: block of educational content; block of the knowledge control, skills and abilities; communicative block; reflection block; personal identification unit; navigation system; learning path control module. Various approaches to the concept of a learner’s model are also considered (in particular, scalar, overlay and cognitive models).To test the adaptive learning model, an electronic course in the discipline “Informatics and Information Technologies” was designed and implemented in the e-learning management system of the Bashkir State Agrarian University on the LMS Moodle platform. The e-course is used in the educational process for full-time and parttime education, as well as a form of support for distance learning during periods of self-isolation. A comparative analysis of the progress of students who study by using linear and adaptive versions of the e-course is carried out. Students studying with the adaptive version of the e-course showed better learning outcomes. From this, it is concluded that the adaptive course allowed students to better adapt to the conditions of forced distance learning in the new reality.Conclusion. An individual educational trajectory is one of the effective ways of realizing the professional and educational potential of an individual and is based on certain forms, methods, technologies and learning mechanisms. Modern e-learning technologies provide vast opportunities for implementing the concept of personalized flexible learning, in particular, using adaptive training courses. In this case, both the parameters of the learning management environment and the characteristics of the students can act as a resource (parameter) of adaptation.

The Many

For students, teachers, and administrators, e-learning is a relatively new and sometimes uncertain event. With popular technologies and instructional trends coming and going, distance learning practice and policies change constantly. Regardless of one’s preference for an online learning management system, he or she may be forced to drop it in favor of an inferior and untested courseware shell that was developed internally and adopted solely because it was free. Adding to the confusion, technology tradeshows and teaching and learning conferences continue to alter their themes to fit the current online terminology, which, in turn, changes and evolves. Despite the anxiety caused by the many uncertainties and the accelerating pace of change, teaching online is fast becoming an expected part of one’s scholarly endeavors or, at the very least, a legitimate practice of one’s colleagues and home institution.
