Effectiveness of LMS A study was conducted to determine the

effectiveness of LMS on three core dimensions:1. Access and equity to learning environment2. LMS as a teaching and learning resource3. Performance assessment

Feedback was taken from 80 students of Riyadh Branch belonging to all three programs (IT, Business and English).

Instrument used was a questionnaire – offline and online.

Page 32: Presentation by Siran Mukerji and Purnendu Tripathi

CNIE Conference 2008, Banff 32

Access and equity to learning environment: Easy to logon to the main page. Usually access once a week except during

tutorials and assignment submission. User friendly and easy to navigate.

LMS as a teaching and learning resource: Useful learning resource as it provides updated

class schedule, course details, problem solving platform.

Multimodal teacher-learner interaction forum. Dependent on tutor concerned and how proactive

tutor is in using the LMS as a tool for providing learning resources.

Findings:

Page 33: Presentation by Siran Mukerji and Purnendu Tripathi

CNIE Conference 2008, Banff 33

Performance assessment: LMS as a tool for continuous

assessment. Ease in submission of assignments. Helps in learning from assignments. Reduced response time.

Page 34: Presentation by Siran Mukerji and Purnendu Tripathi

CNIE Conference 2008, Banff 34

Difficulties faced in using LMS and SIS:

Inability of the students to open the LMS and SIS webpage occasionally.

Problem with user id and password. Non integration of LMS with SIS. Effectiveness depended on:

the attitude of the teachers, their deftness towards handling the LMS, regularity in using the LMS for information

dissemination, sensitivity of the teachers towards

educational needs of the students.

Page 35: Presentation by Siran Mukerji and Purnendu Tripathi

CNIE Conference 2008, Banff 35

Suggestions

Need for adequate orientation for students and teachers towards effective utilization of LMS and SIS.

Initial sensitization required to make the teachers aware of the various needs of the students studying through ODL mode.

Teachers from conventional system should be made aware of the benefits and importance of the online learning resource.

Page 36: Presentation by Siran Mukerji and Purnendu Tripathi

CNIE Conference 2008, Banff 36

Need for a single sign on system for LMS as well as SIS.

Integration of teaching and learning activities with student support system.

Need for integrating and channelizing the online system with the conventional system of program delivery by the teachers.
