The purpose of this study was to examine the opinions of engineering students from various departments regarding the progress tracking and digital badge features applied in courses in the Learning Management System (LMS). The phenomenological design which is a qualitative research method is used in this study. Online forms with close and open questions were used to collect data. The study was conducted with a total of 226 students, who studied in 5 different departments. The data is subject to content analysis. According to the research results, students stated that the features tested triggered motivation to complete assignments and develop other students. As for the opinion of some students that these features should be held in every course in the LMS. Despite the general view of an LMS equipped with these features (Moodle), their general view of the features, especially the progress tracking feature and digital badges is quite good. What needs to be questioned is the willingness of lecturers and policymakers to apply it consistently in the campus environment.

The mid period is a golden period for the Islamic world, especially tafseer. In this period, apart from the separation of tafseer with hadith as a separate scientific study, it was also the time when knowledge outside of the two of them had entered the body of interpretation. The fact has a big influence on the interpretation of its status as a product of human thought, where each interpretation has its own orientation and group. This paper aims to examine the diversity of interpretations in the mediecal period. The author uses a qualitative research method with a historical-content analysis approach. In this study it was found that in the middle period there were at least five interpretive styles, namely: linguistic, fiqh, theological, mystical and philosophical.

These studies are important to understand the process of interaction in human relations with the creator and also relationships with fellow creatures. The research method used is a qualitative research based on content analysis approach, with the aim to be able to explore the theory of alamin used in this study. The results found that interaction was formed by the existence of one of the most basic objectives in communication, namely necessity. This concept can be understood that everything needed by humans, then must have a process of relationships in the form of interaction to be able to achieve whatever objects are needed. But the interaction process is different. Therefore human interactions have two goals. First, human interaction with the creator called the relationship X with Y. This interaction is carried out by X to Y in the form of a relationship as creator to X, provider of living facilities to X, trustee Y, and X servant Y. Second is human interaction with the universe this is called the relationship X with Z. This interaction is carried out by X to Z in the form of a Z relationship as a reference for X, a provider of mass space for X, a power provider for X, and a proof of space for the implementation of the X assignment.
