Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Abstract
In modern education, e-learning or Internet enabled learning has been extensively
used by teaching and learning institutions, especially by higher education for
improving their educational services. Learning Management Systems (LMS) are one
of the important parts of e-learning solutions for providing learning contents and
learning information during the educational process. Information delivery as main
functionality of these systems has a vital role in the success of these systems in
achieving their goals. An LMS with growing number of users, courses, and
frequently updated learning information resources needs a systematic, fast and easy
to use information delivery service which can support personalization also.
As a response to this need and with considering technical and pedagogical benefits of
RSS (Really Simple Syndication), this research applied a combination of RSS 2.0
and RSS 1.0 to design a new RSS-based information delivery framework for LMSs.
The proposed RSS based information delivery framework is implemented on e-
SPRINT, an existing LMS at Universiti Putra Malaysia as object of experiment, and evaluated regarding to the impact of RSS-based information delivery framework in
users satisfaction and usability of the LMS in information delivery.
Based on the analysis of the results of experimental design there is positive changes
in users satisfaction with information delivery after using the framework compared to
before using the framework. According to usability evaluation of the RSS
information delivery framework also, positive changes of user perception from the
aspect of usability in information delivery has been gained. It is mentionable that the
scope of the study was limited to the case study system. The contribution of this
study was the design and development of an RSS-based information delivery model
for LMSs to support systematic fast and easy to use information delivery.
