Moodle-Based Online Learning Management in Higher Education
International Journal of Instruction, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic gives a big impact on various aspects of human life, including higher education institutions. Institut Agama Islam Negeri (State Institute for Islamic Studies) Surakarta (IAIN Surakarta) as one of the Islamic higher education institutions in Indonesia has developed online learning management using Moodle platform. This study tries to measure the level of implementation of learning management in three dimensions of Moodle-based online learning; planning of learning, implementation of learning and evaluation. This study used a quantitative approach with a sample of 718 students from five faculties based on the descriptive analysis, report showed that planning of learning was in the high category with an average of 4.06 (in scale 5), the implementation of learning was in the medium category with an average of 3.35 and evaluation of learning was also in the medium category with an average of 3.14. It meant that it was necessary to optimize the implementation and evaluation of learning. While the results of CFA showed that the three manifest variables were below 0.4, namely the use of Zoom, Google Meet or others (outside Moodle) for synchronous (λ = 0.01, mean = 3.86), the use of Google Classroom, WhatsApp or others for asynchronous (λ = 0.04, mean = 4.31), and the examination in the form of assignments (λ = 0.11, mean = 3.86). So, it can be concluded that the use of e-learning based Moodle has less optimal in implementation and evaluation of learning. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality of applications, supporting facilities and user capabilities.

Nowadays, with the use of technology and the Internet, education is undergoing significant changes, contemplating new ways of teaching and learning. One of the widely methods of teaching used to promote knowledge, consists in the use of virtual environments available in various formats, taking as example the teaching-learning platforms, which are available online. The Internet access and use of Laptops have created the technological conditions for teachers and students can benefit from the diversity of online information, communication, collaboration and sharing with others. The integration of Internet services in the teaching practices can provide thematic, social and digital enrichment for the agents involved. In this paper we will talk about the advantages of LMS (Learning Management Systems) such as Moodle, to support the presential lectures in higher education. We also will analyse its implications for student support and online interaction, leading educational agents to a mixing of different learning environments, where they can combine face-to-face instruction with computer-mediated instruction, blended-learning, and increases the options for better quality and quantity of human interaction in a learning environment. We also will present some tools traditionally used in online assessment and that are part of the functionalities of Moodle. These tools can provide interesting alternatives to promote a more significant learning and contribute to the development of flexible and customized models of an evaluation which we want to be more efficient.

ABSTRACT Most universities in Cameroon face many educational problems and obstacles that technology can help to overcome. An open-source, such as Moodle e-learning platform, has been implemented at many Cameroonian universities. Moodle could be used as an aid to deliver e-content and to provide various possibilities for implementing asynchronous eLearning web-based modules. The study examines the influence of interactive features of Moodle to increase the motivation of the students for the learning process. The intrinsic and extrinsic features of Moodle learning management system and how these features motivate students to use an e-learning portal, which subsequently influences their perceived learning effectiveness and academic performance are examined. The theoretical underpinning of motivation theory, self-determination theory (SDT), and cognitive evaluation theory (CET) are used to guide this study. To achieve this, a mixed-method research method approach was designed to address the corresponding research objectives. A non-probability sampling technique was used with a sample size of 380 respondents drawn from selected universities in the Center region that are have been using Moodle learning management platform for more than 3 years. Semi-structured questionnaires and focused group discussions were used to source relevant data required for the study. The quantitative data were collected and analyzed using multilevel analyses by employing statistical packages such as SPSS version 25 and AMOS version 24. Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were used to collect qualitative data, which was then analyzed using grounded theory. The results from the inferential analysis revealed that Assignment Modules features (AMF) and Student’ Motivation (SM) has a positive significant effect on the perceived learning effectiveness of using Moodle, whereas, Communication Module Features have a negative significant statistical effect on the perceived learning effectiveness of using the Moodle. Results of the qualitative research method using grounded theory show that most of the remarkable challenges that students face when using the Moodle platform emanate from poor internet connectivity, power outage, and finance issues. Given the importance of Moodle and other LMS in terms of Online and teaching implementations in higher education institutions in Cameroon, it is recommended that the university administration should invest in ensuring that the students and academics are properly trained on how to use all functions of MOODLE so they can understand how beneficial MOODLE is for them.

Learning Management System -Moodle: Impact on Teacher Educators
Learning Management Systems (LMS) have been extensively accepted by higher education institutions universally for over a decade. Educational organisations now spend a significant proportion of their resources on installing and maintaining these systems. This expenditure continues to increase, raising questions as to whether LMS in educational organisations are fulfilling their potential. Learning Management Systems are now installed in the majority of higher education institutions. These web-based LMS are proposed to support teaching and learning activities. They consist of various features that enable teacher educators to share learning materials as well as providing interaction with their students both synchronously and asynchronously (Vovides et al. 2007). The most widely adopted LMS are Blackboard, Sakai, KEWL, and Moodle (Unwin et al. 2010). The research paper focuses on the LMS Moodle. Institutions use the LMS to supplement traditional face-to-face delivery where teacher educators develop and share digital learning materials via the Internet. In this case, the LMS are used as an electronic repositories of learning materials (Vovides et al. 2007). Institutions especially those offering distance education, have been combining LMS with traditional face-to-face delivery in order to reach more learners across various geographical boundaries (Andersson & Grönlund 2009). In light of these benefits, the adoption of LMS by higher education institutions has continued to increase in recent years. With the continued increase of LMS in recent years, this paper researches by suggesting strategies that can help teacher educators make more effective use of LMS.
