External Database Sebagai Media Integrasi Sistem Informasi Akademik Dengan E-Learning

Abstract

Universitas Bina Darma Palembang merupakan salah satu Perguruan Tinggi Swasta yang memiliki banyak fakultas dan program studi. Untuk mengelola data akademik seperti penjadwalan, matakuliah, krs dan khs Universitas Bina Darma suda menggunakan Sistem Informasi Akademik yang sudah terintegrasi. Untuk mendukung proses belajar mengajar Universitas Bina Darma juga telah menggunakan Learning Management System (LMS) berbasis Moodle. Selama ini proses pengiriman data user, kelas, dan peserta kelas dilakukan dengan membuat program transfer data yang akan mentransfer data dari SIA ke Moodle. Permasalahan yang timbul adalah pertama jika ada perubahan data user seperti password dan lain sebagainya pada pertengahan semester maka tidak bisa secara otomatis mensikron dari SIA ke Moodle, sama halnya dengan perubahan data pengajar atau peserta kelas pada pertengahan semester harus dilakukan secara manual pada moodle, kedua riwayat peserta kelas dan pengajarnyapun terhapus setiap semester, karena program tersebut mengosongkan data kelas dan pesertanya setiap semester, hal ini menyebabkan dosen harus membackup dan mengupload ulang materi dan tugas nya setiap semester. Mengatasi hal tersebut dengan metode action research penulis membuat penelitian “External Database Sebagai Media Integrasi Sistem Informasi Akademik dengan Elaerning” sebagai solusinya. Penggunaan fitur External Database mengintegrasikan SIA dengan Moodle secara realtime, dan juga bisa mempertahankan riwayat mengajar dosen dan peserta kelas

Integration Design of Academic Information Systems And Learning Management Systems Using Web Services Rest-Based External Database

“…As well as other problems regarding the disappearance of all teaching and learning activity data when the LMS will be used again in the next semester, this makes lecturers must manually back up their material on the LMS before the current semester ends so that it can be used again in the following semester. Database feature which will be used to synchronize data, as well as transfer data in real time from the Academic Information System and/or to the LMS [6].…”

“…Based on literature studies from previous studies with similar themes, the researcher will conduct research that is broadly like the research that has been conducted by Ajib Hanani in 2020 [7] and the research conducted by Muhammad Bunyamin and Ahmad Syazili in 2019 [6]. Researchers will make integration design between E-Learning system and SIA.…”

“…External Database is a feature in the Moodle LMS that is useful for synchronizing user and enrollment data with databases outside of Moodle. With this feature, Moodle could read data from other databases that have been mapped in Moodle [6]. An example of using an external database in Moodle for registration of teaching participants at an institution can be seen in Figure 3 and Figure 4 below.…”

Integration Model of Academic Information Systems and Learning Management Systems with REST Web Services Using External Databases

“…This forces lecturers to manually backup their content on the LMS before the current semester ends so that it can be used again in the following semester, in addition to other issues with the disappearance of all teaching and learning activity data when the LMS will be used again in the following semester. To synchronize and transfer data in real time from the Academic Information System and/or to the LMS, researchers utilize the External Database capability [6].…”

“…The researcher will perform research that is broadly like the research conducted by Ajib Hanani in 2020 [7] and the research conducted by Muhammad Bunyamin and Ahmad Syazili in 2019 [6] based on literature reviews from prior studies with similar themes. Researchers will design the integration between the SIA and the e-learning system.…”
