Learning Management Systems (LMS) and e-learning management: an integrative review and research agenda

Abstract

There has been an increasing public demand for passenger rail service in the recent times leading to a strong focus on the need for effective and efficient use of resources and managing the increasing passenger requirements, service reliability and variability by the railway management. Whilst shortening the passengers' waiting and travelling time is important for commuter satisfaction, lowering operational costs is equally important for railway management. Hence, effective and cost optimised train scheduling based on the dynamic passenger demand is one of the main issues for passenger railway management. Although the passenger railway scheduling problem has received attention in operations research in recent years, there is limited literature investigating the adoption of practical approaches that capitalize on the merits of mathematical modeling and search algorithms for effective cost optimization. This paper develops a hybrid fuzzy logic based genetic algorithm model to solve the multi-objective passenger railway scheduling problem aiming to optimize total operational costs at a satisfactory level of customer service. This hybrid approach integrates genetic algorithm with the fuzzy logic approach which uses the fuzzy controller to determine the crossover rate and mutation rate in genetic algorithm approach in the optimization process. The numerical study demonstrates the improvement of the proposed hybrid approach, and the fuzzy genetic algorithm has demonstrated its effectiveness to generate better results than standard genetic algorithm and other traditional heuristic approaches, such as simulated annealing.

Digital transformation of training programs for public administration

“…All respondents are Romanian civil servants and 295 (27%) are from the central public administration institutions and ministries and 788 (73%) are from local public administration institutions. Also, we must Oliveira (2015) pointed out that with the e-learning advance, educational institutions managers started to deal with different activities, requiring the development of new procedures and finding alternatives to address emerging challenges that go beyond educational issues. Halverson (2019) mentioned that regardless of the complexity of the learning task, some students may find non-traditional settings like blended or online instruction to produce anxiety.…”

“…In LMS, mediation involves both the acquisition of competences and communication skills of all teachers and students, and a greater concern to create interaction moments and practical application possibilities of collaborative work, with that learning process happening in a participatory manner (Oliveira, 2015). Moodle can be successfully used both in the educational system, and in private or public institutions.…”

“…The frequency of interactions between teachers and students via LMSs is steadily rising [17], despite the fact that schools have tailored their own LMS instances to suit the needs of the instructors. Recent research [18] emphasizes the difficulties that modern learning management systems (LMSs) have in meeting the unique demands of students in terms of usability and learnability [19,20]. This can lower students' engagement with the platform and have an effect on their learning results [21,22].…”

Postgraduate students’ experiences with learning management systems at a selected nursing education institution in KwaZulu-Natal Province

“…[5][6][7][8] Online learning, particularly the use of LMS, has grown exponentially in the sphere of general education, with information and communication technology (ICT) integrating the active learning principles of reflection, interaction and engagement. [1,9,10] An LMS such as modular object-orientated dynamic learning environment (Moodle) provides a comprehensive educational process through its extensive educational content, control, monitoring and eval uating of knowledge quality, [11] hence improving educational outcomes. [4,12] Using an LMS has major implications for students and institutions, as it provides opportunities to create a well-designed, student-centred, interactive, affordable, efficient and flexible online learning environment.…”
