Administering, collecting and organizing the breadth assessment data is an extensive process, typically centralized through the use of software tools such as learning management systems (LMS), content management systems (CMS), continuous program improvement systems (CPI). These systems serve av ariety of roles, ranging from course content delivery, elearning, distance education, learning outcomes assessment, outcomes data management and learning outcomes analytics. Vendors have been developing various solutions to accommodate the shift towards outcomes based assessment as part of a continuous improvement processes.This paper will compare and contrast software tools supporting outcomes based assessment as part of acontinuous improvement process such as eLumen, Canvas, Moodle, WaypointOutcomes, Desire2Learn and LiveText.

AbstractThe benefits of solving problems have been widely acknowledged by literature. Its implementation in e–learning platforms can make easier its management and the learning process itself. However, its implementation can also become a very time–consuming task, particularly when the number of problems to generate is high. In this tutorial we describe a methodology that we have developed aiming to alleviate the workload of producing a great deal of problems in Moodle for an undergraduate business course. This methodology follows a six-step process and allows evaluating student’s skills in problem solving, minimizes plagiarism behaviors and provides immediate feedback. We expect this tutorial encourage other educators to apply our six steps process, thus benefiting themselves and their students of its advantages. Keywords: Learning management systems; problem generation; randomization; cloze questions

Abstract Traditional Learning Management Systems are installed on a single server where learning materials and user data are kept. To increase its performance, the Learning Management System can be installed on multiple servers; learning materials and user data could be distributed across these servers obtaining a Distributed Learning Management System. In this paper is proposed the prototype of a recommendation system based on association rules for Distributed Learning Management System. Information from LMS databases is analyzed using distributed data mining algorithms in order to extract the association rules. Then the extracted rules are used as inference rules to provide personalized recommendations. The quality of provided recommendations is improved because the rules used to make the inferences are more accurate, since these rules aggregate knowledge from all e-Learning systems included in Distributed Learning Management System.

<P> The widespread diffusion of e-Learning in organizations has encouraged the discovery of more effective ways for conveying digital information to learners, for instance, via the commonly called Learning Management Systems (LMS). A problem that we have identified is that cognitive variables and pedagogical processes are rarely taken into consideration and sometimes are confused with the mere use by learners of “diversified” hypermedia resources. Within the context of widespread dissemination of multimedia content that has followed the emergence of massive information resources, we discuss the need for more powerful and effective learner-centered tools capable of handling all kinds of design configurations and learning objects. </p> <P class=abstract><B>Key Terms: </B>cognitive profiles, learning styles, mind mapping, multimedia and hypermedia content, hyperscapes, e-Learning, learning objects, Learning Management Systems (LMS).</P>

Edmodo based E-Learning is a social learning platform for teachers/lecturers, students or for parents that developed in late 2008 by Nic Borg and Jeff O "Hara Edmodo based E-Learning developed based on the principles of group based on class management and also social media. Edmodo based E-Learning is very comprehensive because access is faster and easier to use by using some of the features that function like course management systems. The learning process using teaching materials with Edmodo based E-Learning can be used as a reference in developing appropriate teaching materials for other materials to increase the level of thinking probabilistic learners. Edmodo is certainly a good choice for learning in the fourth industrial revolution era. This study is a literature that tries to express the ideas associated with the use of Edmodo based E-Learning in Building Construction Learning. This study has the following objectives: (1). Describe criteria of Edmodo based E-Learning that good. (2). Describe the material in accordance with the Edmodo based E-Learning in Building Construction learning. (3). Describing the use of Edmodo based E-Learning in Building Construction learning.

Over the past two years, the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus has put to the test all spheres of life not only in Bulgaria but also worldwide. It can be claimed that the educational sector has acted adequately and has been able to deal with the challenge. The article presents research on the implementation of various e-learning tools by Bulgarian and foreign universities. The research was conducted at the beginning of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 by surveying students and lecturers. It turns out that despite the plethora of e-learning tools, at many universities, even in technologically advanced countries such as China, in most cases, education is delivered through distance learning and course management systems, for instance Moodle. The research objective is to ascertain the degree of implementation of various e-learning tools at Bulgarian and foreign universities. The research subject is the degree of implementation of e-learning tools, whereas the research object is students and lecturers from Bulgarian and foreign universities. The hypothesis, which is proven, is that the implementation of diverse e-learning tools is insufficient, despite the fact that their importance is acknowledged at all levels of learning and teaching.
