The document provides an overview of LMS, describes trends in their global and Australian adoption, and explores some of the drivers behind universities' adoption of these systems.
LMS is a software application that manages all aspects of the learning process, including content delivery, course and user administration, skills assessments, progress tracking, and reporting. It is a web-based technology that facilitates access to learning content and administration for both educational institutions and regulated industries for training purposes. An LMS delivers content but also handles courses, administration, tracking, and reporting to enhance classroom teaching and provide online learning opportunities at scale.
In the current digital era, education system has witness tremendous growth in data storage and efficient retrieval. Many Institutes have very huge databases which may be of terabytes of knowledge and information. The complexity of the data is an important issue as educational data consists of structural as well as non-structural type which includes various text editors like node pad, word, PDF files, images, video, etc. The problem lies in proper storage and correct retrieval of this information. Different types of learning platform like Moodle have implemented to integrate the requirement of educators, administrators and learner. Although this type of platforms are indeed a great support of educators, still mining of the large data is required to uncover various interesting patterns and facts for decision making process for the benefits of the students. In this research work, different data mining classification models are applied to analyse and predict students’ feedback based on their Moodle usage data. The models described in this paper surely assist the educators, decision maker, mentors to early engage with the issues as address by students. In this research, real data from a semester has been experimented and evaluated. To achieve the better classification models, discretization and weight adjustment techniques have also been applied as part of the pre – processing steps. Finally, we conclude that for efficient decision making with the student’s feedback the classifier model must be appropriate in terms of accuracy and other important evaluation measures. Our experiments also shows that by using weight adjustment techniques like information gain and support vector machines improves the performance of classification models.

The document discusses learning management systems (LMS) and personal learning environments (PLE). It notes that LMS are focused on managing learning content and activities within traditional teacher/learner roles, while PLE support self-paced and self-organized learning with learners choosing tools and content. Both have benefits and limitations, as LMS prioritize institutional needs over learner needs, while PLE lack centralized management features of LMS. The document explores frameworks for testing different learning environments using standards like IMS-LD and technical services.
The document discusses using ontologies and semantic web technologies to improve matching between learning objects and user preferences in e-learning systems like Moodle. It proposes building an ontology to semantically annotate learning objects and user profiles, then using that ontology to more effectively retrieve and customize learning content for each user. The author implemented this approach in Moodle to automatically manage course registration based on various student factors represented in the ontology. The goal is to make the learning process more personalized and improve tracking of student progress.
This document discusses applying semantic web technologies to enhance the services of e-learning systems. It proposes developing a semantic learning management system (S-LMS) based on technologies like XML, RDF, OWL and SPARQL to automate and accurately search for information on e-learning systems like Moodle. The S-LMS would add semantic capabilities to allow students to search for learning resources based on semantics and provide personalized, customized content tailored to individual needs. It presents applying ontologies and metadata to Moodle in order to define domains and describe learning content in a way that improves search, interoperability and reusability of educational resources.
The e-learning contained many educational resources are generally used in learning systems like Moodle, It’s free open source software packages designed and flexible platform to create Learning Objects (LOs) and users’ accounts. The author demonstrates how to use semantic web technologies to improve online learning environments and bridge the gap between learners and LOs. The ontological construction presented here helps formalize LOs context as a complex interplay of different learning-related elements and shows how we can use semantic annotation to interrelate diverse between learner and LOs. On top of this construction, the author implemented several feedback channels for educators to improve the delivery of future Web-based learning. The particular aim of this paper was to provide a solution based in the Moodle Platform. The main idea behind the approach presented here is that ontology which can not only be useful as a learning instrument but it can also be employed to assess students’ skills. For it, each student is prompted to express his/her beliefs by building own discipline-related ontology through an application displayed in the interface of Moodle. This paper presents the ontology for an e-Learning System, which arranges metadata, and defines the relationships of metadata, which are about learning objects; belong to academic courses and user profiles. This ontology has been incorporated as a critical part of the proposed architecture. By this ontology, effective retrieval of learning content, customizing Learning Management System (LMS) is expected. Metadata used in this paper are based on current metadata standards. This ontology specified in human and machine-readable formats. In implementing it, several APIs were defined to manage the ontology. They were introduced into a typical LMS such as Moodle. Proposed ontology maps user preferences with learning content to satisfy learner requirements. These learning objects are presented to the learner based on ontological relationships. Hence it increases the usability and customizes the LMS. In conclusion, ontologies have a range of potential benefits and applications in further and higher education, including the sharing of information across e-learning systems, providing frameworks for learning object reuse, and enabling information between learner and system parts.
Jurnal a distributed architecture for adaptive e-learningRatzman III
This document presents KnowledgeTree, a distributed architecture for adaptive e-learning. It aims to bridge the gap between learning management systems and intelligent tutoring technologies by taking a component-based approach. The architecture consists of learning portals, activity servers, value-adding services, and student model servers. Learning portals provide a single access point for students while allowing teachers to structure courses. Activity servers host reusable learning activities and services. Value-adding services enhance activities. The student model server tracks individual student data to enable personalized adaptive learning across distributed components. The implementation includes portals supporting different course structures and a protocol for communication between servers.
1. Key issues in implementing learning management systems (LMS) in schools include determining needed features, technical requirements, gaining staff and community acceptance, providing training, and establishing organizational roles and policies.
2. A framework categorizes implementation into decision making, content, human factors, and logistics. Key considerations are selecting an LMS, defining its uses, involving stakeholders, addressing attitudes, and designating support structures.
3. Ongoing management requires evaluating use, updating policies, and adapting to changing LMS features to support 21st century learning.
Although of the semantic web technologies utilization in the learning development field is a new research area, some authors have already proposed their idea of how an effective that operate. Specifically, from analysis of the literature in the field, we have identified three different types of existing applications that actually employ these technologies to support learning. These applications aim at: Enhancing the learning objects reusability by linking them to an ontological description of the domain, or, more generally, describe relevant dimension of the learning process in an ontology, then; providing a comprehensive authoring system to retrieve and organize web material into a learning course, and constructing advanced strategies to present annotated resources to the user, in the form of browsing facilities, narrative generation and final rendering of a course. On difference with the approaches cited above, here we propose an approach that is modeled on narrative studies and on their transposition in the digital world. In the rest of the paper, we present the theoretical basis that inspires this approach, and show some examples that are guiding our implementation and testing of these ideas within e-learning. By emerging the idea of the ontologies are recognized as the most important component in achieving semantic interoperability of e-learning resources. The benefits of their use have already been recognized in the learning technology community. In order to better define different aspects of ontology applications in e-learning, researchers have given several classifications of ontologies. We refer to a general one given in that differentiates between three dimensions ontologies can describe: content, context, and structure. Most of the present research has been dedicated to the first group of ontologies. A well-known example of such an ontology is based on the ACM Computer Classification System (ACM CCS) and defined by Resource Description Framework Schema (RDFS). It’s used in the MOODLE to classify learning objects with a goal to improve searching. The chapter will cover the terms of the semantic web and e-learning systems design and management in e-learning (MOODLE) and some of studies depend on e-learning and semantic web, thus the tools will be used in this paper, and lastly we shall discuss the expected contribution. The special attention will be putted on the above topics.
Technology As Pedagogy: The Rhetoric of Learning Management Systemsalbeaudin
The document summarizes Andrea Beaudin's research analyzing the assumptions and implications of course and learning management systems (CMS/LMS) from a rhetorical perspective. It discusses how CMS/LMS are not neutral technologies but can influence pedagogy and shape relationships through their design. The research examines how CMS/LMS may function as tools of "technological hegemony" and control, and implications for concepts like academic freedom. It provides examples of rhetoric used by Blackboard, Moodle, and a writing studio to promote their CMS/LMS.
A learning management system (LMS) is a software application or web-based technology used to deliver, track, and manage education or training programs. An LMS allows instructors to create and deliver content, monitor student participation, and assess student performance. It provides features like online collaboration tools and threaded discussions. LMS platforms are used by educational institutions, corporations, and regulated industries to enhance classroom teaching, deliver online training programs, and ensure compliance training. While an LMS facilitates the distribution of structured content and tracking of learning goals, true learning requires interaction that may be limited by an LMS's artificial constructs.
This document summarizes a presentation on how course and learning management systems (CMS/LMS) can influence pedagogy and academic freedom. It defines CMS/LMS and discusses how they are designed based on assumptions about technology's relationship with society. The presentation analyzes how CMS/LMS shape expectations and behaviors through their interface design and evaluates examples of rhetoric used in CMS/LMS marketing materials. It concludes by considering implications for further research on how mandated technologies may affect concepts of education.
Ontology-Oriented Inference-Based Learning Content Management System dannyijwest
The world is witnessing the electronic revolution in many fields of life such as health, education,
government and commerce. E-learning is considered one of the hot topics in the e-revolution as it brings
with it rapid change and greater opportunities to increase learning ability in colleges and schools. The
fields of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) are
full of open source and commercial products, however LCMS systems in general inherit the drawbacks of
information system such as weakness in user expected information retrieval and semantic modelling and
searching of contents & courses. In this paper, we propose a new prototype of LCMS that uses the
Semantic Web technologies and Ontology Reasoner with logical rules, as an inference engine to satisfy the
constraints and criteria specified by a user, and retrieves relevant content from the domain ontology in an
organized fashion. This enables construction of a user-specific course, by semantic querying for topics of
interest. We present the development of an Ontology-oriented Inference-based Learning Content
Management System OILCMS, its architecture, conception and strengths.

Transforming Higher Education with Open Educational PracticesHans Põldoja
The document discusses the impact of ChatGPT, an AI assistant created by OpenAI, on student assessments in higher education. It begins by providing background on ChatGPT, describing it as a state-of-the-art language model that can engage in natural conversation. It then discusses concerns that ChatGPT could enable students to generate impressive written work for assignments, challenging traditional written assessments. The document also includes a quote from a student who used AI tools for their assignments, feeling they were penalized for not writing eloquently. Finally, it discusses the need to revisit existing student performance evaluation approaches in higher education in light of new technologies like ChatGPT.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

The application of computers to education
has a history dating back to the 1950s, well
before the pervasive spread of personal
computers (Reiser, 1987). With a mature
history and varying approaches to utilizing
computers for education, a veritable alphabet
soup of terms and acronyms
related to computers in
education have found their way
into the literature, most of them
non-standardized. Learning
Management System (LMS) is
one approach to the application
of computers to education
which holds great potential
and important concepts yet is
often misunderstood and the
term misused. This article will
clarify the use of the term LMS
by presenting a history and
definitionofLMS,differentiating
it from similar terms with which it is often
confused, and discussing the role it can play
in education. It will then describe current
application and available features of LMSs,
and conclude by identifying trends and
recommending future research.
History and definition of LMS:
What are LMSs?
The history of the application of computers
to education is filled with generic terms such as
computer-based instruction (CBI), computer-
assisted instruction (CAI), and computer-
assisted learning (CAL), generally describing
drill-and-practiceprograms,moresophisticated
tutorials and more individualized instruction,
respectively (Parr & Fung, 2001). LMS has its
history in another term, integrated learning
system (ILS) which offers functionality beyond
instructional content such as management
and tracking, personalized instruction and
integration across the system (Bailey, 1993;
Becker, 1993; Brush, Armstrong, Barbrow, &
Ulintz, 1999; Szabo & Flesher, 2002).
The term ILS was coined by Jostens Learn-
ing, and LMS was originally used to describe the
management system component of the PLATO
K-12 learning system, content-free and separate
from the courseware (R. Foshay, personal com-
munication, October 24, 2006). The term LMS
is currently used to describe a number of differ-
ent educational computer applications, and we
would argue that it is often used incorrectly. Lat-
er sections of this article will differentiate LMS
from other terms with which it is often confused,
but prior to describing what LMS is not; we will
focus on describing what an LMS is.
The key to understanding the difference
between LMS and other computer education
terms is to understand the systemic nature of
LMS. LMS is the framework that handles all
aspects of the learning process. An LMS is the
infrastructure that delivers and manages in-
structional content, identifies and assesses in-
dividual and organizational learning or training
goals, tracks the progress towards meeting those
goals, and collects and presents data for super-
vising the learning process of an organization as
a whole (Szabo & Flesher, 2002). An LMS deliv-
ers content but also handles course registration
and administration, skills gap analysis, tracking
and reporting (Gilhooly, 2001).
Bailey (1993) presents the following general
characteristics of an LMS in education:

A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECTS OF
LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ON UNIVERSITY
TEACHING AND LEARNING
ABSTRACT. The rapid uptake of campus-wide Learning Management Systems
(LMS) is changing the character of the on-campus learning experience. The trend
towards LMS as an adjunct to traditional learning modes has been the subject of
little research beyond technical analyses of alternative software systems. Drawing on
Australian experience, this paper presents a broad, critical examination of the
potential impact of these online systems on teaching and learning in universities. It
discusses in particular the possible effects of LMS on teaching practices, on student
engagement, on the nature of academic work and on the control over academic
knowledge.
INTRODUCTION
There is a significant change taking place in higher education that has
received surprisingly little analysis. In the last few years, integrated
computer systems known as Learning Management Systems (LMS)
have rapidly emerged and are having, and will increasingly have,
profound effects on university teaching and learning. LMS are
enterprise-wide and internet-based systems, such as WebCT and
Blackboard, that integrate a wide range of pedagogical and course
administration tools. These systems have the capacity to create virtual
learning environments for campus-based students, and are even being
used to develop fully online virtual universities. They are becoming
ubiquitous at universities around the world, adding a virtual dimen-
sion to even the most traditional campus-based institutions.
Unlike other financial or human resources management systems
recently introduced into universities, online LMS have the potential
to affect the core business of teaching and learning in unanticipated
ways. Despite this, research into the ramifications of LMS, in par-
ticular the pedagogical issues, is still in its infancy. In spite of wide-
spread levels of adoption, and although the systems are essentially
devices for teaching, attention has been most often focussed on their
