“…Centralised learning material ensures that there is consistency and that all information is easily accessible in one central location. Bearman, Lambert, and O'Donnell (2021) add that a centralised approach gives the students consistent experience and provides them with a coherent teaching approach. According to Anderson (2019), the LMS provides a centralised way to manage learning materials.…”
The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in the worst downturn in the global economy since the Great Depression in the 1930s. To face the challenges of the global economy, a person needs to possess basic skills including educational skills. Education plays a vital role in building a competitive economy that will hardly be affected by crisis and will be able to ensure that there are high rates of social development. The student population has become very diverse over the decades, making it difficult to teach. Teaching has become very complex to handle because of the increase in a variety of teaching strategies and the diverse student population. There is therefore a need for inclusive and equity pedagogy where teaching considers the diversity of students and the need for teachers to develop teaching strategies that support all students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The most expensive education is the one that is not completed. This conceptual paper looks at the importance of the Learner Management System (LMS) in implementing data-driven instruction to achieve quality education for all types of students. The LMS is a software system that tracks students' participation and progress through data systems and assessments. It's a platform that stimulates an environment for learner achievement and engagement. 'Data-driven instruction' can be defined as using student data to enhance instructional practices in the classroom to address the needs and learning styles of individual students. Additionally, data-driven instruction will be explored to discover how it can be used as a systematic and purposeful work to maximise the students' performance. The study will provide recommendations on how LMS and data-driven instruction can be used to give direction to decisions to improve the students' outcomes.

“…The value of including design rationales derives from at least two sources. Firstly, providing an explicit design rationale helps with adapting, communicating, sharing and reusing designs (Goodyear and Retalis 2010;Laurillard 2012;Bearman et al 2020). Secondly, providing students with explicit design rationalesin principle -strengthens their ability to complete (co-configure) the design before and during 'learn-time' and their ability to configure their own learning tasks, environments and relationships into the future.…”
Section: Making Design Rationales Explicitmentioning
This paper provides a summary account of Activity-Centred Analysis and Design (ACAD). ACAD offers a practical approach to analysing complex learning situations, in a way that can generate knowledge that is reusable in subsequent (re)design work. ACAD has been developed over the last two decades. It has been tested and refined through collaborative analyses of a large number of complex learning situations and through research studies involving experienced and inexperienced design teams. The paper offers a definition and high level description of ACAD and goes on to explain the underlying motivation. The paper also provides an overview of two current areas of development in ACAD: the creation of explicit design rationales and the ACAD toolkit for collaborative design meetings. As well as providing some ideas that can help teachers, design teams and others discuss and agree on their working methods, ACAD has implications for some broader issues in educational technology research and development. It questions some deep assumptions about the framing of research and design thinking, in the hope that fresh ideas may be useful to people involved in leadership and advocacy roles in the field.
“…Thus, the results of this study indicate that the interaction between lecturers and students in understanding a material can be facilitated by learning media. Learning media is a tool that can be used as an intermediary in a learning process so that learning can be easily conveyed (Bearman, Lambert, & O'Donnell, 2020). Lecturers as a teacher cannot only use the lecture method without using learning media.…”
Section: Podcast For Distance Learning In Higher Educationmentioning
The Covid-19 pandemic that hit the world has changed human life in all areas of life, including education. In education, learning and instruction are important to higher education students. Covid-19 affected learning design from face-to-face learning in the class become distance learning. Many things need to be fixed and updated in terms of materials and platforms used. The study's purpose is to analyze the role of distance learning media using podcasts in higher education. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method to show the need for distance learning innovation by using podcast media as an additional alternative platform to answer distance learning challenges. The results showed that the podcast system in the form of recordings made it easier for students to listen to the material presented by the instructor. Podcasts made students enthusiastic about learning during the Covid-19 pandemic.
