As educators and administrators look to countless mobile apps, software programs, and web-based learning tools to meet the demands of students in remote, virtual, and hybrid settings, risks and assumptions of online platforms and assessments must be considered. With the urgency of the COVID-response closure of many schools and the unusual methods employed during the return to school in Fall 2020, there is no better time to examine the digital application literacy which is necessary for students to effectively transition to online learning and assessment. “Digital application literacy” (DAppLit), a specific form of media literacy, involves the nimble use of an app (web-based) or application (computer-based) for education, including assessment. Learners with impaired DAppLit face academic consequences, when insufficient literacy in the platform is the culprit. This paper first explores various skills and strategies from both traditional and digital assessments that digital application literacy requires. Then, it presents the value of low-stakes assessment experiences with applications to introduce navigation techniques and troubleshoot barriers users may face before undertaking weighted assessments. The importance of skills instruction and practice of DAppLit methods is presented. A four-step process is introduced to: 1) set learning goals; 2) guide learners through the application with explicit instructions before use; 3) provide low-stakes explorations; and 4) debrief to address any issues which could represent a failing of application literacy and not content knowledge in an assessment.

This chapter considers a range of individual difference variables that have potential relevance to specifically designed Web-based learning packages. These include: cognitive style, working memory efficiency, anxiety, gender, and current knowledge. It discusses, in general terms, the conditions under which the variables are important, and the potential interaction between them in affecting learning performance. The roles of the variables within the context of Web-based learning are then examined. It is argued that technical developments in computer technology that allow materials that can accommodate learning preferences by responding to the student’s choices and learning performance combined with a better psychological understanding of individual differences in learning should result in improved educational effectiveness.

Abstrak - Keberadaan teknologi informasi khususnya teknologi internet, telah banyak memberi manfaat dalam segala bidang tidak terkecuali bidang pendidikan. Salah satu manfaat dari teknologi internet dalam bidang pendidikan adalah dimanfaatkannya Learning Managemen System (LMS)  sebagai model pembelajaran e-larning dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran. Pemilihan Model Pembelajaran e-learning berbasis LMS ini merupakan salah satu strategi alternatif  model pembelajaran diantara puluhan model-model pembelajaran yang ada seperti model pembelajaran CORE (Connecting, Organizing, Refleting, Extending), AIR (Auditory, Intellectualy, Repetition), Explicit Instruction, Kumon, Pembelajaran Berbasis masalah (Problem Based Learning) dan lain-lain untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran algotima di STMIK Mataram.Sebagian besar mahasiswa khususnya di STMIK Mataram mengatakan bahwa mata kuliah Algoritma adalah salah satu mata kuliah yang terbilang sulit. Untuk dapat lebih mudah memahaminya, mahasiswa tentu ditutut untuk lebih banyak belajar dan berlatih.  Selain itu, pemilihan model pembelajaran yang tepat juga sangat mempengaruhi kualitas pembelajaran yang dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar algoritma di STMIK Mataram. Pemilihan model pembelajaran e-learning berbasis LMS ini dapat dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan sebuah aplikasi/tools yang berbasis web yang disebut dengan web based learning tools seperti Moodle, Edmodo, Schoology, Google Classroom, Blackboard, Articulate, WebCT dan lain-lain.  Dengan model pembelajaran e-learning berbasis LMS ini, berdasarkan beberapa penelitian mengungkapkan secara signifikan mampu mendongkrak kualitas pembelajaran. Peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran melalui e-learning berbasis LMS diharapkan dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar terutama pada mata kuliah algoritma di STMIK Mataram. Keyword: Pembelajaran, LMS, Learning Managemen System,  STMIK Mataram

Abstrak - Salah satu parameter yang digunakan untuk mengukur kualitas organisasi pendidikan adalah pemanfaatan dan penggunaan teknogi informasi. Pemanfaatan dan penggunaan teknologi informasi yang tepat dapat meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan, salah satunya dengan memilih atau menerapkan sistem pembelajaran yang tepat. Penerapan sistem pembelajaran berbasis web ini merupakan salah satu teknologi informasi yang dapat meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan ataupun menjadi solusi dalam sistem pembelajaran. Penerapan sistem pembelajaran berbasis web ini adalah dengan memanfaatkan sebuah alat atau sistem pembelajaran dengan menggunakan aplikasi Course Managemen System (CMS)/Learning Managemen System (LSM) atau yang disebut dengan web based learning tools. Beberapa aplikasi CMS/LMS (web based learning tools) yang dapat digunakan untuk menerapkan sistem pembelajaran berbasis web ini adalah Moodle, Edmodo, Schoology, Google Classroom, Blackboard, Articulate, WebCT dan lain-lain. Penerapan sistem pembelajaran dengan menggunakan web based learning tools ini, tentunya memiliki kelebihan dan kelemahan masing-masing baik dari segi interface ataupun managemen konten. Untuk itu, dalam ini akan dikaji atau dianalisis perilaku pengguna dalam penggunaan 3 buah web based  learning tools yaitu Moodle, Edmodo dan Schoology guna mengetahui ketertarikan pengguna mengenai interface dari ke 3 web based learning tools tersebut. Dengan demikian, berdasarkan ketertarikan user/pengguna ini, akan dikembangkan model sebuah web based learning tools yang diharapkan dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan kualitas proses pembelajaran. Keyword: web based learning tools, LMS, pembelajlaran.

<p>Successful web-based learning depends on several key factors. These include the quality of the learning tools, the motivation of users, and the credibility of the learning materials as well as their significance in the eyes of users. It is possible to find numerous examples of web-based lifelong learning approaches that can be viewed on social networks and discussion forums. The research for this study included designing several blog-based discussion forums where user activities were logged and the results were compared to usercompleted questionnaires for similar activities. Several user behaviour identification models were designed based on algorithmically computed tallies of user behaviours. These models are currently being applied for further study to measure user behaviours in virtual learning environments.</p>

Based on the pandemic of COVID-19 in 2020, to avoid crowds and mass infection, web-based learning takes the place of traditional class teaching to become the main learning method for adults, teachers, and students, the study aims to check the relationship between web-based learning tools, self-efficacy, depression-anxiety-stress, family life quality, and general health in Chinese sample. Through a questionnaire and measurement scale to collect data in June to July 2020, adopted SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 8.3 to test the reliability and validity, structural equation modeling (SEM), multiple regression model (MRM), and other methods are used for statistical analysis and conclusions.<p></p>

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between social learning constructs and perceived learning performance in corporate informal Web-based learning environments. The study aims at providing significant implications for corporate educators who have worked on designing social learning environments in the workplace. Design/methodology/approach To identify the casual relationship of the proposed research model, data collected from 523 South Koreans who were corporate employees and social media users were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings The results indicate that self-motivation, learning community and social media usage were significantly related to perceived learning performance. In addition, social media usage mediated the relationship between the other social learning constructs and the learning performance. Originality/value Given that corporate personnel typically gain job-related knowledge and skills through social learning, corporate educators need to provide learners with social learning environments that are conducive to self-motivation and learning community. Social media, when used as a learning tool, might not sufficiently improve learning performance without the help of other social learning constructs. Findings shed light on which social learning constructs are essential to effective social learning environment design in the workplace.
