Literature suggests that existing learning management systems should be extended to integrate learning activities that aim at enhancing comprehension of students in Computer Science education. Therefore, literature has proposed Computing Augmented Learning Management System (CALMS) that meets the needs of online Computer Science education. However, it's unclear the current state of architecture for the CALMS to assist researchers interrogate and extend its modules for online Computer Science education. Pedagogically to ascertain the thinking direction of current Computer Science educators it's also relevant to understand philosophical stance of learning events from the new idea of CALMS for online computer science education. The review reveals that learning events of the CALMS suggest an adaption of moderate constructivism stance for online Computer Science education. The CALMS incorporate annotations, algorithm or animation visualization and automatic assessment for the purposes of computer science education.

Learning material is a factor that affects to a performance of a teaching and learning with learning management system, so this research presents a trackable augmented learning media system that contains with trackable learning material and a cloud based learning management system (LMS). The trackable learning material is combined with a printed book and a mobile application. An application augments a virtual reality to a printed book, keeps student learning log and sends to the LMS. The proposed LMS contains only required function to work with trackable learning material which are a teacher registration, a classroom management and a reports generation. Teacher need to operate with LMS manually. Reports of the LMS are automatically generated by collected students’ learning log. Reports show a performance and behavior of a students and teachers can use that information to adjust a pedagogy to be consistent with their students.

This paper presents a critical look at the likely demise of Computer Science (CS) as a discipline, in the light of various mishaps that academics in Universities have met with due to trial and error. We trace the issues of the past and present and, identify the reasons why computer science as a discipline in many Universities has not moved with time - in particular why it is not kept up with the pace required by the field. The loss of computer science is also well-reflected in the huge downturn in CS student enrolment across the Anglo-Saxon world. The paper also details some steps on how to change the ways and means of CS academics. We record that some of the arguments and recommendations presented in this paper can be controversial and may not necessarily relate to scenarios that exist in other countries. Further, some of the assertions made are without comprehensive statistical data, as we could not gather them, besides gathering anecdotal evidences.


Combined learning among the world's top universities including Malaysia was commonly recognized. Many educational organizations, like Blackboard, WebCT and Moodle, have introduced Learning Management Systems (LMSs) or Course Management Systems (CMSs), depending on the capabilities and needs of the institutions ' programmes. The aim of this paper is to report the results of implementation of learning management system (LMS) using Moodle on student engagement in Computer Science (CS) classroom for two semesters. Furthermore, we also investigating the parameters that influence student engagement and how these scales relate to each stage of learning process to produce better learning performance. The respondents for this work are students who enrolled CS courses regardless of any year. The survey conducted using online and distributed to various type of subject taught in CS for the semester to confirm the students’ learning preferences using blended learning style. From the survey results, we examine the significance correlation of learning preference style with student engagement in campus-based learning. The results show that there is an impact of LMS usage on teaching, learning and assessment based on students’ learning preferences may show better learning engagement amongst students

Abstract This study offers an overview of the current state in the field of informatics education in the Czech Republic. The new publication of a monograph focusing on field didactics showed that a complex analysis of the current state and future perspectives of developments in informatics education that has not yet been addressed is needed. This paper presents an overview of development in the discipline from the 1960s, defines the main goals of informatics education in the Czech Republic, namely the contents and methods of ICT and computer science education, the need to revise the content areas in official pedagogical documents, teacher education including training of primary teachers and methodology of research in the field of informatics education. The authors of the paper analyse current trends that have impact on informatics education and also refer to the dynamics of computer science education, gradual shift of computer science to lower school levels and introduction of new computer science topics into the area of information and communication technologies. In the conclusion the authors formulate the current problems that informatics education will have to tackle and indicate the possible dangers and perspectives of its future developments. In this article, we distinguish between informatics education as a school subject education and computer science education and ICT education which we understand as parts of this school subject in this context.
