A Personalized Learning Service Compatible with Moodle E-Learning Management System

Abstract

Among the numerous learning management platforms, Moodle is free, open-source software supporting expanding and modularized system functions and services to facilitate online courses or online resources and interactive activities. This study enhanced a personalized learning service for the Moodle e-learning management system, which synchronizes the user’s identity according to the user information database of the third-party user management platform system. According to the user’s demand to provide a personalized e-course, including personalized learning process, e-materials, and learning path to improve learning efficiency. This study adopted the pre-test and post-test achievement to compare the benefit of the personalized e-learning platform. Research samples were students in the “programming” course at the Technology University in central Taiwan. The experiment results indicate: (i) The average post-test result after using the proposed platform was higher than the average pre-test result (before using the proposed platform). (ii) The learning effect gap in the post-test between students was less than in the pre-test result. Hence, the proposed personalized e-learning platform was beneficial.

Pros and Cons of e-Learning in Economics and Business in Central and Eastern Europe: Cross-country Empirical Investigation

“…Present-day education and e-learning require transforming and promoting green entrepreneurship and climate protection (Alvarez-Risci et al, 2021). New e-learning platforms require increasingly innovative solutions based on the latest advances in engineering science (Smatkov et al, 2019;Chang et al, 2022), including the biometric solutions already in use for verifying the person taking the final exam.…”

Optimizing Education with Data Analytics: A Feature Comparison of LMS and SIS

“…In the ever-evolving landscape of e-learning, choosing the right LMSs is essential for educational institutions, corporations, and training providers. This section aims to provide a comprehensive comparative analysis of two widely used LMS platforms (Canvas [43][44][45][46] and Moodle [47][48][49][50]) and two new proposals (Chamilo [51][52][53][54][55] and TalentLMS [56][57][58]).…”

Using the Electronic Educational Platform Moodle to Achieve Educational Goals in Saudi Universities

“…It is anticipated that the digital age will revolutionize education because the technologies of this era will enable students to become more active and independent learners. The Internet enables the establishment of gatherings with new knowledge structures in which children and adults from all over the world can collaborate and learn from one another, and it connects people via computers or smart communication devices so that it has extremely beneficial educational properties and opportunities [11].…”

“…In addition to offering the student access to a variety of scientific resources in one location, these systems also offer a self-learning setting that allows the learner to engage productively with the scientific content [10]. All of these benefits can be found in what are known as e-learning management programs, which include the Moodle program or system in communicating with students and how to achieve the necessary educational, knowledge, and performance goals with the student [11]. These programs also go beyond that in terms of technological communication with the student and motivate him to participate in society and break free from the cycle of imitation to keep up with the renaissance of Informatics [13].…”

“…Instead of the student physically moving to the educational institution as is the case in the conventional system, the distance education system involves the transfer of knowledge to the learner at his or her place of home or employment [10]. The system is not new, but the COVID-19 pandemic brought it to light because it caused a near or complete paralysis of schools, universities, research centers, and libraries for extended periods of time, forcing many academic and educational institutions to take corrective action [11]. Universities have turned to using contemporary information and communication technologies and their various outputs, such as electronic applications, websites, and e-learning platforms that employ all the characteristics of available technologies, such as effectiveness and readiness to share and exchange ideas and various information and open channels of communication, to find quick and efficient alternatives for the continuation of the educational process [12,13].…”
