Online Learning Resource Management System Utilization and College Students' Engagement at Zhongshan University

Abstract

The study aimed to assess the extent of utilization of the Learning Resource Management System (LRMS) and its impact on student' engagement among 218 college students at ZhongShan College. Utilizing a descriptive correlational approach with a quantitative method, the study found that the students perceived a very high extent of utilization of LRMS, appreciating its clear instructions and regular access to reliable internet. Additionally, the students exhibited high engagement levels with the LRMS regarding online activities, academic relevance, collaboration, and social interaction. Notably, a significant relationship was observed between the extent of LRMS utilization and online academic relevance in students' engagement. The study suggests implementing training programs for students and teachers to enhance LRMS utilization, inform school policies, and promote awareness of its benefits. These findings lay the foundation for future training initiatives and policy enhancements within the educational institution.
