Improved Learning Management System (i-LMS): A Flat Form for Content Creation and Sharing for Kenyan Secondary Schools

Abstract

Use of ICTs integration for enhanced learning has been studied for some time now with focus mainly on content delivery. It has however been noted that ICTs usage for learning has not picked well and in a uniform way. Further, little has been done to ensure delivery from a common pool so as to promote standardization of curriculum delivery especially on content creation and sharing. This has left a gap in ICT usage and improvement of delivery. The main objective in this paper is to look at the usability of learning management system software (LMS) and recommend the development of an improved interactive learning management system (i-LMS) to facilitate data collection from users to support teaching and learning functions in secondary schools. The model shall enable content creation and sharing among students, teachers, content developers and administrators. Captured data will be kept in a common repository in a database for access by all schools for learning. This will help improve delivery through Learning Management Systems software by making it possible to avail resources to a bigger audience from a common pool.
