Perkembangan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi atau disingkat TIK yang ada saat ini ikut memberikan kontribusi dalam pengembangan bidang pendidikan khususnya di perguruan tinggi, termasuk dalam proses belajar mengajar. Proses belajar mengajar yang bersifat konvensional, dimana dosen dan mahasiswa melakukan kegiatan tatap muka di ruang kelas, sudah mulai beralih ke proses belajar jarak jauh dengan memanfaatkan TIK dalam bentuk e-learning. Dengan memanfaatkan proses e-learning ini, masalah waktu dan tempat yang biasa kita temui dapat dipecahkan, terutama pada keterbatasan ukuran kelas terhadap jumlah murid dan keterbatasan waktu untuk dapat hadir di ruang kelas. E-Learning berkembang sejalan dengan perkembangan TIK, dimana konsep E-Learning 1.0 terus mengalami perbaikan menuju ke E-Learning 2.0. Perkembangan konsep ini terutama dijumpai dalam bentuk komunikasi pada proses yang disediakan, jenis media yang digunakan dan peran dosen (Pengajar) dan mahasiswa (murid) dalam proses belajar mengajar tersebut. Deklarasi gerakan Indonesia Go Open Source atau IGOS oleh lima menteri pada tanggal 3 juni 2004 serta keharusan bagi seluruh instansi pemerintah untuk menggunakan perangkat lunak legal paling lambat Desember 2011 ikut mendorong perkembangan e-learning dengan menggunakan teknologi open source seperti Sistem Operasi Linux, Learning Management System LMS (moodle, Sakai, Dukeos), Blog (Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal), Netmeeting, Animasi dan Simulasi (Flash dan Blender). Tulisan ini akan membahas tentang pemanfaatan teknologi open source yang tersedia saat ini dalam pengembangan proses belajar jarak jauh khususnya di perguruan tinggi.

As many institutions embrace e-learning, one of the technologies highly solicited is the use of the Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle) platform. Moodle is a very flexible learning management system that is based on open-source software used by millions of people around the world to host and offer online education and training programmes. As an open-source learning management system, it offers a wide array of activities, themes, and resources made available for free by developers. The use of the platform and its resources in the creation and delivery of learning often challenged users who have not been previously trained to explore the tools in a productive manner. As a practitioner with over 15 years in the use of Moodle and cognisance of the need for teachers at all levels of education to quickly develop functional skills in Moodle that will enable them administer the platform, build and deliver courses, I opted to write this book entitled Functional Skills for Moodle Administrators and Course Developers: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners. The book is designed based on hands-on activities that will help teachers to explore the different features of the platform and create courses that are ideal for any category of learner. The book also offers possibilities to learn how to structure courses in different formats, select the best resources, activities, create assessments for specific purposes and grade learning outcomes. The book structured into seven chapters is flexible, paving the way for each chapter to be exploited independently without necessarily following the chronological order. The book also takes into consideration, the desire of innovative teachers who teach in schools that do not have a Moodle platform but are willing to explore the tool in the delivery of learning.

Learning Concept

E-learning is currently very important and a must for educational institutions. Many e-learning application platforms are based on Learning Management System (LMS) that can be used by schools, whether they are open source, paid for or build their own applications. There are many considerations that must be faced when deciding to use an e-learning-based application (LMS) including infrastructure readiness, costs and application compatibility with the e-learning concept desired by educational institutions. The availability of features in the e-learning system is one that must be adjusted to the e- learning concept that will be selected. Each institution may be able to determine its own characteristics that can be specific and not yet fully accommodated in the e-learning application that currently exists. One of them is the feature to randomize exam questions to ensure that each student gets different questions with the same composition. This research will try to answer this problem by integrating the fisher-yates shuffel algorithm. The success of this algorithm integration will be assessed by conducting an exam simulation involving two classes and seeing how the system will randomly divide the exam questions to each student. The first assessment is the suitability of the composition of the questions and the similarity of the questions between students, the less students receive the same questions appearing on the exam questions, the better the system performance.

Penelitian ini hanya sampai pada hasil rancangan instrument (kuesioner) untuk mengukur kesiapan (readiness) mahasiswa baru untuk implementasi e-learning Universitas Stikubank Semarang. Dasar dari perancanngan kuesioner adalah adanya  hal-hal penting dalam untuk mendapatkan informasi penting tentang kesiapan mahasiswa baru untuk implementasi e-learning Universitas. Untuk menghasilkan instrumen pengukur kesiapan e-learning yang sesuai harus dipahami terlebih dahulu konsep e-learning, kesiapan e-learning, dan penilaian kesiapan e-learning (e-learning readiness assessment). Konsep elearning yang diterapkan saat ini di Universitas Sikubank yaitu proses penyampaian materi kuliah yang meliputi penempatan materi dan interaksi antara dosen dan mahasiswa melalui Internet, yang difasilitasi oleh suatu learning management system (LMS) yang berbasis Web. Berangkat dari konsep e-learning yang diterapkan, maka dibuat studi eksploratori untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang menentukan kesiapan e-learning mahasiswa. Agar peneliti bisa mendapatkan pemahaman lebih jauh mengenai suatu masalah dan faktor-factor utama penentunya, dapat dilakukan penelitian yang bersifat kualitatif. Penelitian kualitatif bersifat eksploratori, tidak terstruktur, dan berdasar pada sampel yang kecil. Penelitian ini dapat dilakukan dengan mendayagunakan teknik seperti focus group (wawancara berkelompok), word association (bertanya pada responden untuk mengindikasikan respon pertama mereka pada kata-kata stimulus yang disampaikan), dan depth interview (wawancara satu-satu untuk mengetahui pikiran responden secara detil). Hasil dari suatu studi yang bersifat eksploratori sebaiknya diikuti oleh penelitian eksploratori lain atau oleh penelitian yang bersifat konklusif. Dalam studi eksploratori yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini, teknik yang digunakan adalah Wawancara (interview).Tujuan utamanya adalah mendapatkan pengertian mendalam akan hal yang menjadi minat peneliti dengan mendengarkan sekelompok orang yang relevan dengan minat tersebut. Langkah untuk menjalankan wawancara adalah menentukan sasaran atau pertanyaan yang harus dijawab.

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.
