ABSTRACTThe study aimed to explore and investigate the versatility, capacity, and adaptability for accommodating online English learning. The qualitative approach was employed in the study with a descriptive research design. 86 participants responded to the survey, and 25 semi-structured interviews were adjusted from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). The study’s findings have implications for employing online instructors, instructional designers, and administrators to increase online course engagement. The study exposed four recommendations based on the finding, including instructional elements of collaborated and interactive activities, integrated electronic tests applied on mobile phones, and Enhanced Social familiarity. English lecturers preferred to use Moodle and Google classroom as their daily Learning Management System (LMS) in the study context. The interactive tools intended to apply with QuizGame and Wirewax while conference communication instrument approved to the Google Meeting and Skype. Conclusively, the study offered implications for practice by confirming and presenting the online tools approach that might be utilized to engage and implement online English learning education in Higher Education circumstances.ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dan menyelidiki keserbagunaan, kapasitas, dan kemampuan beradaptasi untuk mengakomodasi pembelajaran daring bahasa Inggris. Pendekatan kualitatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan desain penelitian deskriptif. 86 peserta menanggapi survei, dan 25 wawancara semi-terstruktur disesuaikan dari National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). Temuan penelitian ini memiliki implikasi untuk mengenlola instruktur daring, perancang instruksional pembelajaran, dan administrator untuk meningkatkan keterlibatan kelas daring. Studi ini memaparkan empat rekomendasi, termasuk elemen instruksional dari aktivitas kolaborasi dan interaktif, tes elektronik terintegrasi yang diterapkan pada ponsel, dan Peningkatan kedekatan Sosial. Instruktur atau dosen bahasa Inggris lebih menggunakan Moodle dan Google classroom sebagai Learning Management System (LMS) harian mereka dalam konteks belajar daring. Keterlibatan alat interaktif dimaksudkan untuk penerapan dengan QuizGame dan Wirewax sementara instrumen komunikasi konferensi digunakan dalam Google Meeting dan Skype.

The authors are Instructional Designers developing online courses in higher education. These courses are facilitated by Subject Matter Experts and delivered through a Learning Management System. They propose that instructional alignment with pedagogic beliefs is the best instructional foundation for original course designs in this instructional context, and examine three factors unique to this context. They propose new instructional design models and a new instructional system of design to address the instructional challenges specific to their learning system context.

Internet technologies are recently being more utilised in the field of higher education in distance digital learning systems. Digital learning management systems (DLMSs) are an important and necessary educational tool for learning activities. The universities are using the digital LMS (DLMS) tools that are unique to their environment. Different universities have different DLMS tools that are software driven and allow the users (management, instructors, and students) to use them for regular tasks. This research discusses the qualitative data collected using the case study methodology. In this research, case study design was selected for the qualitative methodology, and semi-structured interviews were employed as the data collection method. The case study is based in a deanship of a university implementing a digital learning management system in Jordan. The research provides an analysis of the interviews to gain insights into students' perspectives regarding the factors influencing the implementation of the digital learning management system in the higher education sector.

Online education helped resume learning that had come to a momentary and uncertain pause with the onset of COVID-19 pandemic across the globe. Since then, learning in many educational institutions continued through synchronous and asynchronous modes, with teaching being undertaken remotely on digital platforms. In this large-scale migration towards online mode of curriculum delivery induced by the pandemic, the institutional learning management system (LMS) had a critical role to play in ensuring uninterrupted learning and student engagement. By drawing heavily from extant works, learnings from MOOC platforms, observations from the LMS applications in corporate training, the present article synthesis the extant literature on how the effective use of LMS can make the learning process interactive, student centric, catering to the needs of diverse learners in higher education.

Over a number of years, the Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) has encouraged and supported moves to Learning Management System (LMS) replacing aspects of paper-based and face-to-face teaching and learning including, assignments, workshops and examination. The views of learners and academics were explored to consider the advantages of the system as well as potential challenges. Twenty-two participants were involved in qualitative data gathering by means of focus group discussion and semi-structured interviews, which were comprised of 12 M.Phil students and 10 academics from the Faculty of Education. Thematic analysis was carried out by applying themes and codes. Numerous advantages were identified with the use of Learning Management System. However, it was found that the approach did face some challenges. Learners often lacked easy Internet access and the necessary skills to use new technologies efficiently. Academic staff required considerable time for the development of online materials. Major training needs arising from the findings and it was recommended that the university must consider setting up small campuses in rural areas as well as provided mandatory training and support for learners, especially those from rural areas. There is also a need for formal training for academic staff and the sharing of ways by which the new technologies can be used effectively and efficiently in enhancing all aspects of distance learning.

The recent adoption of cloud computing, Web 2.0 (web as a platform), and Big Data technologies have become the main driver of the paradigm shift. For higher education, choosing the right platform for a next generation of Learning Management System (LMS) namely LMS 2.0 is becoming more important than choosing a tool in the new paradigm. This chapter discusses factors for higher institution in determining a future direction for its LMS to take advantage of pervasive knowledge management, efficiency and effectiveness of operations. Literature studies have deployed for this study to portray the state of future LMS initiative. We found that the trends of cloud computing and big data will be predominant factor in viewing future LMS adoption and implementation. LMS 2.0 can be a solution to make learning systems in a higher education is flexible in terms of resources adoption, quality of learning, knowledge management, and implementation.
