Learning management systems (LMS's) are a necessary tool and well suited as earning tools and activities in higher education. However, each institute has a different LMS tool that allows to users (management, instructors and students) to use it for a daily activity. This article investigates the main factors for the acceptance of LMS at Jordanian universities. Is also presents a new LMS model for Jordanian context called Learning Management System Model (JLMS). This approach is used to identify important factors that could or do affect the acceptance of using an LMS at Jordanian universities.

Learning management system (LMS) is usually used in higher education system. It has become compulsory to help the end users (instructors, students, and administrators) in their daily use, and learning analytics presents an auspicious approach. This chapter aims to investigate the acceptance of analytics and use of an LMS at Jordanian universities. It also focuses on the factors influencing acceptance of analytics in LMS at Jordanian universities. Therefore, the chapter presents a new model for acceptance of analytics in learning management systems at Jordanian universities called Jordanian Learning Management System (JLMS). This chapter is based on the most recent and related literature explaining various scenarios where LMSs address learning issues in the digital environment in a way that was not possible in the previous confines of print logic.

Learning management systems have become a key component of teaching and learning in higher education. However, the evidence on the importance of learning management systems to learning is still in its infancy. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role that the Canvas learning management system played in the Sydney School of Public Health at the University of Sydney, Australia. To do this, we conducted interviews with lecturers ( n = 9) and postgraduate coursework students ( n = 7) from the School during Semester 2, 2018. We analysed the interviews thematically, identifying one overarching theme: that Canvas is predominantly used and perceived as an information repository by teaching academics and students. This means that lecturers place course materials on the learning management system for students to use and are making limited use of other, more interactive features of the learning management system, despite interaction being seen as essential to effective teaching and learning. This use of Canvas was explained by two factors: (1) face-to-face learning is perceived as superior to online learning and (2) the existence of skill and capacity barriers that hinder improved online teaching and learning practice, even where professional development opportunities exist for lecturers. We argue that this represents suboptimal use of a learning management system, especially when online learning is likely to become more significant in the coming years. To address this issue, we recommend employing and appropriately resourcing educational designers within higher education settings. These specialists can aid lecturers in the creation of genuinely interactive online environments so that the benefits of online teaching and learning can be fully realised.

Internet technologies are recently being more utilised in the field of higher education in distance digital learning systems. Digital learning management systems (DLMSs) are an important and necessary educational tool for learning activities. The universities are using the digital LMS (DLMS) tools that are unique to their environment. Different universities have different DLMS tools that are software driven and allow the users (management, instructors, and students) to use them for regular tasks. This research discusses the qualitative data collected using the case study methodology. In this research, case study design was selected for the qualitative methodology, and semi-structured interviews were employed as the data collection method. The case study is based in a deanship of a university implementing a digital learning management system in Jordan. The research provides an analysis of the interviews to gain insights into students' perspectives regarding the factors influencing the implementation of the digital learning management system in the higher education sector.

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.

This paper examines theoretical, pedagogical, and technological differences between two technologies that have been used in undergraduate interprofessional health sciences at the University of Toronto. One, a learning management system, WebCT 2.0, supports online coursework. The other, a Knowledge Building environment, Knowledge Forum 2.0, supports the collaborative work of knowledge-creating communities. Seventy students from six health science programs (Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy and Physical Therapy) participated online in a 5-day initiative to advance understanding of core principles and professional roles in pain assessment and management. Knowledge Forum functioned well as a learning management system but to preserve comparability between the two technologies its full resources were not brought into play. In this paper we examine three distinctive affordances of Knowledge Forum that have implications for health sciences education: (1) supports for Knowledge Building discourse as distinct from standard threaded discourse; (2) integration of sociocognitive functions as distinct from an assortment of separate tools; and (3) resources for multidimensional social and cognitive assessment that go beyond common participation indicators and instructor-designed quizzes and analyses. We argue that these design characteristics have the potential to open educational pathways that traditional learning management systems leave closed.

In order to increase the utilization of learning resources and produce interchangeable components, a novel communication model is proposed. The model utilizes SCORM to standardize the learning contents and learning management systems and specify the behaviors of the learning contents independent of the learning management system used. At the same time, the model utilizes SOAP to increase interoperability within the wide range of programs and environments. By doing this, different learning groupwares and learning management systems can be integrated.

 Actualmente existen gran variedad de Sistemas de Gestión de Aprendizaje - Learning Management System (LMS) al servicio de todos los niveles educativos y las áreas académicas. Esta diversidad origina un problema de semántica en el conocimiento haciéndolo disperso e inexacto debido a que cada LMS maneja sus propios formatos, arquitecturas y especificaciones. Esto dificulta la interoperabilidad de la información entre diferentes plataformas afectando principalmente a los estudiantes. En el artículo se describe la propuesta de un modelo de interoperabilidad semántica para resolver las necesidades de intercambio de información caracterizadas de los LMS, a partir de las propuestas existentes de solución en el campo de las especificaciones de e-learning, los servicios Web y las ontologías en general.
