AN APPROACH TO ONLINE LEARNING USING LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION

Abstract

When higher education institutions want to offer online learning program they need to overcome various constraints. One of them is the system. The Learning Management System (LMS) discussed is a web-based system developed and implemented in-house for a private university with a purpose to enable its new online learning program. The program differs from the regular face to face program since it is dominated with online classes. The LMS was designed and implemented to provide the right solution. The LMS succeed to facilitate students and lecturers in obtaining academic information and learning process anytime, anywhere via the internet. Since most of the time the students don’t come to the campus. In this study we explore the findings, discuss issues in the research, suggest how these results may foster improvement and give an input for other higher education institutions.
