Development of Cloud Learning Management Systems for Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

Higher Education. The research methodology was divided into 2 phases; first phase was developing Cloud Learning Management Systems for Higher Education, and second phase was to study the students' satisfaction by using the CLMS in 8 weeks. The samples of study were 120 undergraduate students in King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok, Rajabhat University, and Private University. The research tools were: the CLMS, the efficiency evolution form, and the students' satisfaction evolution form. Arithmetic were analyzed using mathematic mean, and standard deviation. The finding revealed that: The Cloud Learning Management Systems (CLMS) for higher education were comprised of 7 modules: (1) course management, (2) content management, (3) course tools, (4) test and evaluation system, (5) data management, (6) challenge-based scaffolding, and (7) challenge-based learning activity. The evaluation of efficiency overall level was excellent (X = 4.79, S.D. = 0.43). The evaluation of satisfaction after using the CLMS overall level was highest (X = 4.76, S.D. = 0.49).
