Learning Management

Learning Management System (LMS) plays a vital role and an imprortant part in technology-enhanced learning. It presents different services to enhance the education procedure in ubiquitous learning condition. But, it is found that in existing education MS a extend range of education procedure and process are presented. But, it needs to be developed with some ubiquitous additional functionality. So the current research we proposed a struture for LMS to integrate social media services to make the LMS enrich in ubiquitous condition. This structure approves efficient social and intellectual interaction between users in ubiquitous Learning Management System environment.

Critical Consideration

An online subject used social media to provide “collaborative spaces” that were “additional and complementary” to discussion in the university's Learning Management System (LMS). Facebook and Twitter provided optional “informal spaces” in which students “talk about general issues to do with media and connect with other students in the unit.” This chapter's analysis of Facebook posts shows a cooperative group of peers providing advice on assessment and recommending useful resources. Analysis, however, reveals that, as well as supportive posts, a proportion of posts could be considered inappropriate, distracting, or even, infrequently, inflammatory. Guidelines about acceptable behaviour must be imposed by teaching staff. More importantly, optional participation in social media sites requires critical consideration. If Facebook is used as a student support space for an online subject, it should be integrated into the curriculum and have an explicit purpose; making social media sites optional alongside mandatory university-supported platforms can prove problematic.

Ubiquitous Learning Environment

Indonesia's Internet users mostly are high school students. This is an opportunity for education activists to provide learning system that can be accessed anytime and anywhere just similar to regular websites on Internet. Learning environment that is accessible anytime and anywhere is built based on ubiquitous computing. Republic of Korea is a country that has a program to develop ubiquitous city, which one of its service is ubiquitous learning environment. In this study, a literature study about ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous learning environment, its characterics and components, also its possibility to implement on Indonesian schools was conducted. This study shows that ubiquitous learning environment development, with its components are a server providing learning management system software, hotspot access points, smartphones that have an application installed to access the learning management system, and radio frequency identification system, can be done in any education unit that has supporting factors for those components.

Personalisation is a key requirement to motivate learners to use learning technology and self-paced content. Whereas most research and technologies focus on personalisation of content, this paper focuses on the personalisation of the tools and platform technologies for learning. When designing a learning environment, most organisations worked in the past on their internal business processes and content but did not focus on what the learner really does with the learning tools the organisation provided to them. Changing the perspective to the user shows, that they create today “around the organisational solutions” their own technology-enhanced learning world using a whole set of technologies: Learning management system (LMS) of the company, learning management system of a further education institution or of a university, different social network platforms, search engines, open web services in the internet like blogs or wikis, and a lot more other applications. Therefore the challenge for organisations today is how they can manage this variety of technologies by also enforcing the creativity and motivation of the users to personalise and individualise their learning environment. This paper proposes a solution by describing an architecture for a responsive and open learning environment. It delivers examples and a procedure how such a solution can be built step-by-step. The approach can be used in schools, higher education institutions, corporations or further education institutions.

Blended learning combines the strength of face-to-face learning with e-learning, which has become the catalyst for education reform today. Unfortunately there are many obstacles that can derail this format of hybrid learning before it can reach its full potential, especially at universities where budgetary constraints inhibit the development of the information and communication infrastructure. This study seeks to capture students’ perceptions regarding web-based activities at a rural university. Purposive sampling was used to generate the sample and a combined total of 380 second- and third-year students participated in this study. Second- and third-year students were selected as it is expected that they have experienced the university learning management system and its shortcomings, and are hence in a posistion to compare the learning management system with social media platforms. The data collection instrument was a self-administered questionnaire, which was analysed using quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings indicate that students at the rural university preferred to engage in blended learning through social networking technologies, as opposed to the learning management system, which they found was mostly unavailable or inaccessible at their residences.
