New pedagogical approaches are required to prepare future professionals. The educational model must be in consonance with the information and communication technologies. They help to improve knowledge dissemination and reduce space and time limitations between teachers and students. They should also motivate students and stimulate communication and collaboration among students, improving the learning process. Currently, the Institute of Exact and Applied Sciences of the Federal University of Ouro Preto (IEAS/UFOP) has no institutionalized tools of information and communication for teaching support. This allows the identification of some problems and difficulties on the educational process, such as absence of a centralized way to provide and access didactic resources, unavailability of a good communication tool between teachers and students, and lack of easy access to academic performance information for self evaluation. This chapter presents the authors' experience in choosing and evaluating a Learning Management System (LMS) to support classroom teaching at the IEAS. The authors investigate how the use of a LMS may improve teaching in the following aspects: (1) availability of didactic resources; (2) class planning and following up; (3) teacher-student communication; (4) monitoring of the academic performance of students during the course; (5) collaboration among students.

The rapid development of information and communication technologies has led to the use of new and digital technologies in education which involves combinations of text, graphics, audio, video, animations and other eLearning resources such as authoring tools, Learning Management System (LMS), Mobile learning and others. Arguably, using LMS leaves much to be desired. The inherent problem here is that the future of extensive adoption of ICT via LMS to enhance and promote classroom interaction in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) is bleak. This is worrisome given that the country is lagging far behind in the innovative use of this web 2.0 technology to impart knowledge. Further, the low-level application of LMS in instruction connotes the loss of inherent advantages in its adoption. Also, the online setting which makes students less nervous and interactive, sharing of ideas and viewpoints; and a host of other benefit will be lost. While evidence has shown that LMS is not a new phenomenon, the use of LMS in ODL is still at its infancy, particularly in Nigeria. Research in this area is rare. A quick search on prominent research databases could testify that. It is on this thrust that this study investigates University of Ibadan undergraduate students’ perceived roles and readiness towards integration of learning management system into teaching and learning.

Virtual education is distance teaching in which teachers and students are in different places but can be connected to each other via the internet network. The virtual education system is divided into two, namely Learning Management System (LMS) and virtual classes. One of virtual education is video conferencing (vicon). A fully capable network is required to comply with Quality of Service (QoS) standards for real-time applications. This study analyzes the QoS of vicon features in LMS at the University of Nasional that is BigBlueButtonBN. Based on the QoS parameters obtained 25% throughput, 100% packet loss, 84.75% delay, 37.5% jitter and 58.5% MOS. Based on the bandwidth requirements of each parameter, the results are 61.2% or 27.9411MB. The MOS value for video 100 is 4, which results in very good images on this vicon.Keywords:BigblueButtonBN; Learning Management System; Mean Opinion Score; Quality of Service; Video Conference

The field mastery of technology, especially in the field of Information and Communication Technology, is one of the obligations for teachers to improve their competence. But at this time the teachers are still applying the conventional teaching model, for example when the teacher stands in front of the class then explains about the subject. This is good for students who pay attention what the material explained by teacher, but if there is the student who can not attend that class they will be missed the lesson. One of some ways to overcome this problem needs for an additional mechanism as an additional learning media as teacher assistants, especially for vocational teachers in SMK Masmur Pekanbaru. The additional learning media is a Learning Management System (LMS) based learning. LMS is a form of web-based computer software, by uploading it to the internet, the e-learning system will be accessible anywhere and anytime. This training is based on LMS where the teachers will use the Edmodo application. By using Edmodo, the teachers have more rights to regulate who can join the group that is created, can control the activities of their students, and can directly assess the tasks. It is expected that LMS-based learning with Edmodo application to be able to improve teachers professionalism and make the learning process in the classroom more efficient than before

Technology in Education has been widely used due to several reasons. Millennial students’ characteristic, which is technology savvy, is one of them. The Covid- 19 pandemic has also been leading us to use technology in managing the classroom massively. This study aims to identify teachers and students’ Net Promoter Score (NPS) on the Cambridge Learning Management System (CLMS). Mixed methods and an online survey using google platforms were used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Nine English lecturers and 69 university students who had used CLMS for teaching and learning English level B1 (CEFR) participated. The results show that the lecturers and students’ NPS are 11 and 13, respectively. They imply that CLMS is considered good, resulting in the possibility for the users to reuse the LMS in the future.  However, there is still room for improvement. Fixing technical problems is highly recommended to enhance the possibility for the user to use the installed LMS. Providing more training for teachers is also suggested.

In the 21st century, emphasizing renewal learning systems using information and communication technology (ICT). One uses a learning management system (LMS). This study aims to determine the effectiveness in implementing the learning Management System (LMS) aided by Edmodo to improve student learning outcomes on dynamic fluid material. This research was conducted at one of the Gamping 1 High Schools with a quasi-experimental research design. As a sample in this study were 11th grade X students, selected by random sampling. The research data collection instrument used to pretest and posttest and the results of the study were tested by N-Gain analysis. The results showed that the learning outcomes of students increased in the high category with very good student responses. This means Edmodo-assisted Learning Management System (LMS) is very effective to improve student learning outcomes on dynamic fluid material.
