Time pressures often necessitate the use of more efficient exam tools, such as electronic exams (e-exams), instead of traditional paper exams. However, teachers may face challenges when introducing e-exams in a higher education context. This paper describes what kinds of challenges teachers may face when introducing e-exams, based on experiences in Turku University of Applied Sciences (TUAS) where e-exams have been used since 2012. For this research, the authors used their personal experiences as administrators and teachers of current e-systems used for e-exams in universities in Turku, Finland. Quantitative data were collected by survey from teachers in TUAS (the case study). The learning management systems, Moodle, Optima and ViLLE, and dedicated e-examination systems, Soft Tutor and Tenttis, were also compared to clarify what kind of features are available in order to ease teachers’ work with examinations. The results identified various challenges during e-exam introduction in TUAS. The paper also provides a list of essential services or features for teachers to ease the introduction of e-exams. Among the analysed systems, ViLLE supported most of the required features, and can be used for both learning management and e-examination systems, providing teachers with one single system, which was found to be important to teachers. The key service found by this paper is ‘support for teachers’, which is in line with previous studies.Keywords: e-assessment; e-examination; e-exam; teacher; feature(Published: 8 October 2014)Citation: Research in Learning Technology 2014, 22: 22817 -http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/rlt.v22.22817

Learning Management

Digital learning management systems (DLMSs) are an important and necessary educational tool for learning activities. Universities are using the Digital LMS tools that are unique to their environment. Different universities have different DLMS tools that are software driven and allow the users (management, instructors, and students) to use them for regular tasks. This research discusses the qualitative data collected using a case study methodology. In this research, a case study design was selected for the qualitative methodology and semi-structured interviews were employed as the data collection method. This case study is based on a deanship of a university implementing a digital learning management system in the country of Jordan. The research provides an analysis of the interviews to gain insights into instructors' perspectives regarding the factors influencing the implementation of the digital learning management system in a higher education sector.

The chapter deals with a complex decision-making problem, the selection and evaluation of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in which several objectives - referring to the definite group of users - like social, technical, environmental, and economic impacts, must be simultaneously taken into account. We introduce Evaluation Cycle Management (ECM), a support methodology aimed at the evaluation of options that occur in the decision-making processes. ECM is based on Multi-attribute decision making (Criteria Evaluation) and Usability Testing (Usability Evaluation). The Multi-attribute decision making in the first phase of ECM presents an approach to the development of a qualitative hierarchical decision model that is based on DEX, an expert system shell for multi-attribute decision support. The second phase of ECM is aimed at Usability Testing on end users. ECM illustrates its usefulness by showing its main features and its application to the above problem. It is based on the theoretical and practical expertise related to the quality and usability assurance of LMS.

Students Satisfaction

Learning Management Systems (LMS) have played a significant role in education. The purpose of this study is to investigate the acceptance level of LMS amongst students of two Universities in Tehran, Payamnoor and Farhangian. The total number of participants was 200. This study was directed based on a quantitative research method and data collection from a questionnaire which was then interpreted according to accurate statistical procedures through SPSS software. Results show that most students, regardless their gender, age, and department were satisfied with the usage of Payamnoor and Farhangian LMSs. However, a student’s grades seem to play a significant role regarding his or hers level of satisfaction from the LMS.
