This week, we have to study the (what, why, who, where and how) is course / learning management system. As usual, I with my partner Wan Nazira had been struggle really hard to study about this topic. In the beginning, we were quite blurred and have no idea what does learning management system really is. It was the first time I’ve heard about it. Zira then found this particular article which gives a deep explanation on course / learning management system. So we went through the article and try to get in-depth understanding about it. Unfortunately, I still didn’t understand what does course / learning management system is. With the formal language and sophisticated technologically terms used in the article, it’s quite challenging to really understand about it. I need an informal way of explanation so what I did was, asking one of my friends; Suraj, to explain it to me. Thank God, Alhamdulillah… At last, I finally understand what is Course / Learning management system is.
WHAT is C/LMS ?
- C / LMS is an application software usually used by learning institutions that enables the administration to manage and deliver the learning content to the students. This system usually involves a large scale of learner across the world.
WHY use C/LMS ?
- Many of the learning institutions nowadays used this system to manage their long distance students. This is because; C/LMS can enhance the communication between educators and students. Other than that, with the variety of sources loaded in the site, students will be able prepare themselves before the class start as well as for the examination. Next, C/LMS helps faculty to keep up with the technology and keeps students interested.
WHERE can we use C/LMS ?
- User can use this system anywhere as long as there is an internet connection to be able to open the site.
WHO uses C/LMS ?
- This system not only use by learning institution but by the government, prevention agencies, healthcare, automotive, transportations, financial services and also small enterprise.
HOW to use C/LMS ?
- First of all, go to the Module Manager where there is a new module waiting for the content.
- Use abbreviation for example; CI - a Content Item. An item in which can be categorised and moved. DCI - a Discrete Content Item. An item that cannot be reused, and MCI - a Module Content Item in which content locked within a module.
- To make it organized and systematic, create sections and categories. For example, when you have created a section, create categories under that section.
REFLECTION
- There are a lot of things I have learnt from this assignment. Before this I haven’t heard about it. Now that I know how important this kind of assignment to students or teachers-to-be especially, to expose them to the facilities provided to them in managing school environment later on. Frankly speaking, Computer in Education has really taught me to learn how to manage and use time effectively. If we don’t take the course serious, we will be left behind and we’re the one who’s going to face the consequences. Again, the wireless connection in the campus becomes the issue. Good thing is, I have bought MAXIS broadband! Wifi shouldn’t be the issue no more. IngsyAllah
