“…Recent studies focussing on STEM education suggest that various LMSs and associated tools increase student engagement, motivation, collaboration (Araya & Collanqui, 2021 ; Campbell et al, 2020 ; Hwang, 2020 ; Jones et al, 2021 ), performance, retention, and critical thinking (Alkholy et al, 2015 ; Ardianti et al, 2020 ; Bernacki et al, 2020 ; Cadaret & Yates, 2018 ; Hempel et al, 2020 ; Oguguo et al, 2021 ). In addition, LMSs allow STEM educators to track learning outcomes, predict achievements (for early detection of students at risk), and then use the identified information to adapt and modify teaching practices (Dominguez et al, 2016 ; Hempel et al, 2020 ; Price et al, 2021 ; Sergis et al, 2017 ; Zakaria et al, 2019 ; Zheng et al, 2019 ). The future of STEM education can continue to be improved with innovative LMSs and technology-enhanced learning materials (Zhao et al, 2018 ), such as online laboratories (Henke et al, 2021 ), online tutorials (Rissanen & Costello, 2021 ) and virtual reality applications (Christopoulos et al, 2020 ).…”

“…According to a recent systematic review on tendencies in the use of LMSs (Altinpulluk & Kesim, 2021), Moodle is the most popular and preferred open-source LMS. Moodle has a high rate of acceptance in the community and in many institutions and has a wide variety of active courses, available in many languages (Al-Ajlan & Zedan, 2008;Sergis et al, 2017). A recent study that determined the effect of LMSs on students' performance in educational measurement and evaluation recommends that LMSs such as Moodle should be learnt and used by lecturers (Oguguo et al, 2021).…”

Background The Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) is widely used in online teaching and learning, especially in STEM education. However, educational research on using Moodle is scattered throughout the literature. Therefore, this review aims to summarise this research to assist three sets of stakeholders—educators, researchers, and software developers. It identifies: (a) how and where Moodle has been adopted; (b) what the concerns, trends, and gaps are to lead future research and software development; and (c) innovative and effective methods for improving online teaching and learning. The review used the 4-step PRISMA-P process to identify 155 suitable journal articles from 104 journals in 55 countries published from January 2015 to June 2021. The database search was conducted with Scopus and Web of Science. Insights into the educational use of Moodle were determined through bibliometric analysis with Vosviewer outputs and thematic analysis. Results This review shows that Moodle is mainly used within University STEM disciplines and effectively improves student performance, satisfaction, and engagement. Moodle is increasingly being used as a platform for adaptive and collaborative learning and used to improve online assessments. The use of Moodle is developing rapidly to address academic integrity, ethics, and security issues to enhance speed and navigation, and incorporate artificial intelligence. Conclusion More qualitative research is required on the use of Moodle, particularly investigating educators’ perspectives. Further research is also needed on the use of Moodle in non-STEM and non-tertiary disciplines. Further studies need to incorporate educational theories when designing courses using the Moodle platform.

Online learning has been going on for almost 2 years now since pandemic and caused a dramatic change of education, with the rise of e-learning, where teaching takes place remotely and using a variety of digital platforms. One of the challenges is access internet and technology used in digital learning that forced the lecturers to innovate in providing a learning approach or using innovative teaching media as well as teaching material to facilitate students in the learning process independently wherever they are. The shift away from the education system caused by the COVID-19 pandemic raises the question of whether the adoption of online learning will continue post-pandemic, and how such a shift will impact education systems around the world. This study proposed some of the objective due to the recent condition of the education field. One of the objectives is to describe the students-teacher reflection toward the implementation of digital interactive book in their class. The study employed a descriptive analysis research design and gained the data from semi structured interview and questionnaire. The participant of this study was a class studying Grammar subject in a blended class of a second year at a higher educational institution (FKIP) in Universitas Pakuan. The result of the study showed that somehow, the students have positive reflections toward the use of digital interactive book designed by the researchers.

The use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) has had a rapid growth over the last decades. Great efforts have been recently made to assess the level of performance of the students online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Faculty members with limited experience in the use of LMS such as Moodle, Edmodo, MOOC, Blackboard and Google Classroom can have some problems creat-ing online tests. In this work, a new plugin for Moodle is presented: FastTest PlugIn. This plugin is based on a Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet and it can be used to export questions to Moodle. Us-ers of FastTest PlugIn can create question pools in an easy and intuitive way. A literature review about plugins used to import/export questions in Moodle is carried out. Then, the characteristics of FastTest PlugIn are presented. At the end, the characteristics of the main plugins found in the literature are discussed and compared with the ones of FastTest PlugIn.
