  • A Review of Distance Learning and Learning Management Systems
    Chapter 1 A Review of Distance Learning and Learning Management Systems Mümine Kaya Keleş and Selma Ayşe Özel Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/65222 Abstract In recent years, rapid developments in technology and the web have led to many changes in education. One of the most important changes in education is in the form of distance learning. Distance learning, which is used to define education where educators and learners are physically separated, is not a new concept; however, emerging technologies and the web allow web‐based distance learning and therefore increase its popularity. As a result of these developments, many universities have started to use web‐based distance learning systems to provide flexible education that is independent of time and place. In this chapter, we review all popular, widely used, and well‐known learning management systems and include detailed comparison of some of these systems to allow institutions to choose the right system for their distance education activities. Keywords: distance learning, literature review, educational research, learning manage- ment systems, Moodle 1. Introduction Distance education, which is now also referred to as distance learning or e‐learning, has existed for centuries. Although as Keegan says “the ideas surrounding the educational endeavor are somewhat similar” [1], it is not easy to find a single definition of distance education. While according to North [2], a few definitions even look to define it in terms of a single technology, according to long‐distance teaching [3], others display distance education simply as a recent development of the class into a remote location [4].

    International Journal on Innovations in Online Education 1(1) 2017 BRIEF SURVEY OF ANALYTICS IN K­12 AND HIGHER EDUCATION Ananda Gunawardena, PhD Princeton University Abstract Use of computers in education is now ubiquitous. Students have access to course media through a variety of devices including PCs, tablets, and smart phones. The data generated by online learning platforms have the potential to change the way we teach and learn. In this brief survey paper, we explore the role of analytics in teaching and learning. In particular, how learning analytics can lead to educational process innovation. We will explore history, current state, tools, privacy issues, case studies, and future potential for analytics­based education. KEY WORDS: analytics, K­12, higher education, data driven, analytics driven 1. INTRODUCTION In this inaugural edition of the International Journal on Innovations in Online Education, we explore the role of analytics in teaching and learning. In particular, how learning analytics can lead to educational process innovation. Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data (Wikipedia, 2001). The main goal of using analytics is to go beyond descriptive statistics to provide the best prediction of what may happen in the future. The end result is to streamline decision making and produce new insights that lead to better actions. As more and more technology is integrated into today′s instruction from K­12 to higher education to continuing education, there is an unprecedented opportunity to use analytics to make learning more effective and efficient (Campbell and Oblinger, 2007). This paper explores some current efforts in analytics­driven education and its potential as a revolutionary force to change the way we teach and learn.

May 4, 2020 The Board directed staff to move forward with data analysis for the discussed proposals and to identify sources of funds for those proposals. June 10, 2020 The Board approved the use of the ESSER 10% SEA reserve funds for grants to local education agencies for devices, connectivity, infrastructure, adaptive technology, learning management system and PD around remote instruction and a request to the Coronavirus Financial Advisory Committee for $30M that could be used for the same purpose. July 15, 2020 The Board approved a methodology and grant application for $30,000,000 from Idaho’s relief funds through the Governor’s Coronavirus Financial Advisory Committee BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The CARES Act allowed the SEA to reserve up to 10 percent of the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund for grants to LEAs to be used for emergency needs as determined by the SEA to address issues responding to COVID-19. These funds must be awarded by May 18, 2021, and expended by September 30, 2022. At its July 15, 2020, meeting, the Board adopted the funding distributions, which included $3.785 million for distance/blended learning with a priority for a Learning Management System (LMS).

  • Using a Learning Management System to Promote Self-Regulated Learning in a Flipped Classroom
    Journal of Teaching and Learning with Technology, Vol. 9, Special Issue, pp. 3-18. doi: 10.14434/jotlt.v9i1.29375 Using a Learning Management System to Promote Self-Regulated Learning in a Flipped Classroom Grace Onodipe Georgia Gwinnett College [email protected] Jared Keengwe University of North Dakota [email protected] Adrienne Cottrell-Yongye Georgia Gwinnett College [email protected] Abstract: The inherent structure of the flipped classroom supports a learning environment that promotes students’ self-regulated learning. In this article, we focus on how a learning management system (LMS), in this case BrightSpace D2L, plays a key role in supporting all aspects of the flipped classroom. We discuss how preclass assignments help students give their learning some forethought and plan accordingly; frequent formative assessments and feedback permit students to monitor their progress in the classroom; students control what study resources they choose to use; and students have ample opportunities to reflect regularly on their work. Further, we explore how learning logs (a form of reflective writing), with the LMS Journaling and Dropbox features, are used to keep track of students’ journal entries as well as demonstrate how college instructors have used an LMS to motivate and encourage students to develop self-regulated learning. A qualitative analysis of students’ writing is provided to illustrate gains in self-regulation. Keywords: flipped learning, self-regulated learning, reflective writing, learning management system, LMS.
