An online subject used social media to provide “collaborative spaces” that were “additional and complementary” to discussion in the university's Learning Management System (LMS). Facebook and Twitter provided optional “informal spaces” in which students “talk about general issues to do with media and connect with other students in the unit.” This chapter's analysis of Facebook posts shows a cooperative group of peers providing advice on assessment and recommending useful resources. Analysis, however, reveals that, as well as supportive posts, a proportion of posts could be considered inappropriate, distracting, or even, infrequently, inflammatory. Guidelines about acceptable behaviour must be imposed by teaching staff. More importantly, optional participation in social media sites requires critical consideration. If Facebook is used as a student support space for an online subject, it should be integrated into the curriculum and have an explicit purpose; making social media sites optional alongside mandatory university-supported platforms can prove problematic.

Learning Management System (LMS) plays a vital role and an imprortant part in technology-enhanced learning. It presents different services to enhance the education procedure in ubiquitous learning condition. But, it is found that in existing education MS a extend range of education procedure and process are presented. But, it needs to be developed with some ubiquitous additional functionality. So the current research we proposed a struture for LMS to integrate social media services to make the LMS enrich in ubiquitous condition. This structure approves efficient social and intellectual interaction between users in ubiquitous Learning Management System environment.

The extract This study aims to detect the tendencies of the mathematics teaching staff in Saudi universities towards using the E- learning management system " Blackboard" in learning and university teaching. And it asks for their training requirements and if there are statistically significant differences between the responds of the sample studies individuals among universities teaching staff. It is about using blackboards in teaching Mathematics that could be attributed to gender variable, academic degree as well as their training background. So, for achieving this objective, the researcher has used the descriptive approach and she used " questionnaire" as a studying tool. The study sample is made up of) 73( teaching member staff whom the "questionnaire" has been sent to them Research's results showed that the tendencies' overall average for teaching member staff is positive with (2.66) percentage. Similarly, the study has shown positive results towards the need for more training on the use of the blackboard system. The study identified a set of recommendations; the most significant is related to: scaling up this experience in all Saudi universities. Beside providing the continuous and intensive training for the teaching staff members and students on the use of the E-learning management system " Blackboard".

Internet-based learning management systems (LMS) allow academics to automate the provision of timely feedback to students. However, to fully exploit this LMS capability and to further encourage student involvement, teaching staff can add an element of summative assessment to the feedback process.

<span>Many higher education institutions have implemented a learning management system (LMS) to manage online learning and teaching, with varying levels of support provided to staff and students, but often there is little subsequent investigation into the quality of the online sites or the use made of the support structures provided. This paper presents findings from an institutional survey investigating the use of </span><em>WebCT</em><span>by academic staff and students in their learning and teaching at a large Australian university. It was expected that student feedback would relate to technical and infrastructure issues, but instead, the survey elicited responses primarily on how </span><em>WebCT</em><span> was used in teaching and learning, indicating that quality control is a major issue for the University. Student opinions appear to reflect more the use of the technology made by teaching staff - students who have experienced a well-designed unit rich with resources, timely feedback and good interaction with staff reported a positive experience with the technology. Staff responses are more focused on the technical and administrative aspects of using </span><em>WebCT</em><span> rather than teaching issues. The findings in this paper have implications for quality teaching and learning with technology, and the way in which tertiary institutions support academic staff.</span>

Learning Management

The problem of education in this digital era is that there is still a lack of teaching staff or lecturers expressing creative and innovative ideas in the form of books, or scientific works, learning models, teaching materials as solutions in learning digital technology. The knowledge and skills of Learning Management Systems for Biology Education students at the University of Pattimura in exploring and mastering the concept of Learning and Teaching are indispensable in the online learning process through the zoom meeting and whatsapp program during the covid-19. The analysis of variance test for the Fvalue of 2065,198 with the significance of the calculated F is 0.000 and the mean squared value is 1673,000, > Partial squared value of 0.989. This means that there is an influence of mastery and skills of the Learning Management System on the learning outcomes of learning and learning subjects through online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in Semester VI Students of the Biology Education Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Pattimura University. There was success in improving learning achievement and learning outcomes in the Maluku region during the covid-19 pandemic, even though the lecture process was carried out online or online using the zoom meeting and whatsapp program. in dealing with the spread of covid 19 in the Mauku Region.
