The emerging trend of the use of LMS (Learning Management System) in higher educational institutes is improving the teaching-learning process. The purpose of this research was to find out the perspectives of teachers towards the use of LMS. The phenomenological case study approach was the focus of this study. All the teachers who were involved in course, section, and teachers allocations in LMS were taken as the participants of the study. The sample was selected by purposeful and convenient sampling techniques. Six teachers gave interviews, while 12 teachers filled the open-ended questionnaire from three campuses of the University of Education, Lahore. Thematic analysis of data indicated that there were four main categories of faculty perceptions towards using the Learning Management System. These were advantages, disadvantages, features, and problems faced by teachers in LMS. The researchers recommended intensive training of university faculty and students in the employment of the LMS.

Η παρούσα εργασία μελετάει την εισαγωγή του μαθήματος «Φυσικές Επιστήμες στην Προσχολική Εκπαίδευση» στο σύστημα διαχείρισης μάθησης e-class της Σχολής Επιστημών Αγωγής του Πανεπιστημίου Κρήτης. Στις μέρες μας, όλα σχεδόν τα εκπαιδευτικά ιδρύματα τριτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης επιχειρούν να ικανοποιήσουν τη γενικότερη απαίτηση για εξ αποστάσεως εκπαίδευση (εξΑΕ) αν και η ποιότητά της συχνά ποικίλλει. Ένα από τα πιο ουσιαστικά θέματα σχεδιασμού εκπαιδευτικών περιβαλλόντων εξΑΕ αποτελεί η διασφάλιση της ποιότητας μάθησης. Πολλά εξ αποστάσεως συστήματα σύγχρονης ή ασύγχρονης τηλεκπαίδευσης αλλά και μαθήματα που προσφέρονται μέσω αυτών των συστημάτων εστιάζουν την προσοχή τους στην παρουσίαση μονάχα του περιεχομένου, παρέχοντας ελάχιστες ευκαιρίες για αλληλεπίδραση και ενεργητική μάθηση. Η εξΑΕ απαιτεί σίγουρα καινοτόμες μορφές διδασκαλίας, καθώς σ’ ένα εικονικό περιβάλλον εκπαίδευσης δίνεται ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στη συμμετοχή, συνεργασία και ενίσχυση του διδασκόμενου σε μια διαδικασία συνεχούς αλληλεπίδρασης με το διδάσκοντα και με το περιβάλλον μάθησης. Οι ποικίλες εφαρμογές της εξΑΕ σε διαφορετικές εκπαιδευτικές βαθμίδες ταυτόχρονα με την ελευθερία επιλογών κυρίως στα μέσα μεταφοράς της πληροφορίας και επικοινωνίας, της προσδίδουν το χαρακτήρα της πολυμορφικότητας και ευελιξίας. Η μετάβαση από την παραδοσιακή στη διαδικτυακή διδασκαλία και μάθηση έχει δημιουργήσει επιπρόσθετα καθήκοντα, παιδαγωγικές ανάγκες και νέους ρόλους για εκπαιδευτικούς και φοιτητές/-τριες.

In this study, we interrogate the Learning Cultures of Peace Leadership and Conflict Resolution Postgraduate learners in their quest for higher education within the University of Zambia using the Learning Management System. The thrust of the study is on learning cultures of digital immigrants in technologically mediated postgraduate distance learning mode to inform the development of learner responsive services. The study rides on Hermeneutics Phenomenology approach to elicit lived experiences of seventeen (17) purposively selected year two students. The study approach is well suited as it empowers Digital immigrants to voice out their lived realities while following the digital mediated Masters of Science in Peace Leadership and Conflict Resolution Programme to forge best ways of harnessing their learning opportunities. The findings reveal that whereas learners have migrated to the Learning Management System, their learning culture is profoundly still in the print age as they keep on requesting for print based educational resources. Secondly, there is limited interactivity among learners and between learners and their learning facilitators, negating the very essence upon which the Learning Management System has been created. This state of affairs has had a bearing on their motivation to engage effectively in the actual learning process as informed by Moore’s theory of Interactivity and Siemens’ theory of Connectivism. To this end, the study recommends that learners are effectively oriented in the use of digital resources to empower them as they exploit the available educational opportunities. Additionally, there is need to strengthen capacity building mechanisms in order to bridge the gap between the learners and the learning facilitators.
