Learning Management System can be seen as a structured repository of courseware materials provided with additional communication facilities such as discussion forum, annotations, chats, etc. LMS can be also seen as a communication area where students upload their assignments and get feedback from the teachers. From the technical perspective, LMS is an Internet-Based Information system serving a big number of remote users. In this paper, we present a list of security issues that we experienced during the years of practical LMS usage on the university level. We especially investigate security issues that are specific for the modern LMS that are constructed in accordance with the so-called AJAX architecture. The practical value of this paper is defined by possible reproduction of the security preconditions that are also described in the paper.","PeriodicalId":413360,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on e-Learning 2019","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115287316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to follow the best practices in education and innovation and provide quality of online courses, careful and thorough instructional design is necessary. In this research we analyze the instructional design methods employed and focus on the training of the professors and grant holders who created and developed the 50 open online courses in a variety of disciplines developed in the start@unito project, a recent enterprise of the University of Turin with the aim of bridging the gap between secondary and higher education and provide open online courses that can be accessed anytime anywhere. The data gathered from the questionnaires given to the grant holders before and after the training show encouraging results as far as the effectiveness of our instructional method is concerned. At the same time, though, they reveal a lack and a disparity of technical, pedagogical and linguistic competences, which in turn require tailored and individualized support. In light of the feedback received, we conclude by envisaging possible improvements and further research, in order to understand what can be done to perfect the instructional design of an ever-expanding project.","PeriodicalId":413360,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on e-Learning 2019","volume":"61 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123300256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Designing a system or product with a good user experience is one of the main objectives of any digital project. E-learning systems must adapt because, beyond the benefits associated with good usability, creating a learning system with a better user experience (learner’s experience) is a key competitive factor in the marketplace. This paper describes a new measurement tool based on a theoretical model presented in previous research that distinguishes the success factors of learners in an e-learning system. This tool for evaluating the learner experience is based on the AttrakDiff user experience measurement tool and uses the same subscale, namely the pragmatic and hedonic qualities of interactive systems. The proposed learning experience (LX) scale allow to know if a e-learning system is perceived by learners as interactive, effective, clear, reliable, challenging, or effortless.","PeriodicalId":413360,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on e-Learning 2019","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124617742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, this study used both quantitative and qualitative approach to examine the impact of PBL and the change and growth of students and teachers. 2,970 students and 172 teachers participated in this study. The results of the students’ change and growth based on students’ answer to a survey and interview are as follow; first, the satisfaction of PBL class has statistically increased at the end of term than the beginning of the term. Second, PBL have the effects on improving students’ self-efficacy. Third, based-on students’ interview, it was identified that a good class and a PBL have common points in communication, cooperation and cooperation among learners, knowledge acquisition and understanding of contents. Forth, students experienced PBL had enhanced their skills in five areas; solving problem, cooperation, communication, academic motivation, and human relations. The results of the teachers’ change and growth are as follows; first, teachers realized the importance of PBL higher than before, and had the volition to do the PBL consistently. Second, the teachers’ efficacy has improved at a significant level. Third, teachers recognized that the characteristics of PBL classes were full of energy, not boring, and students are able to lead the class, understand learning contents, and focus on the class and a good class was similar to PBL. Forth, teachers experienced PBL have acquired the knowledge (property of PBL/property of students), behavior (confidence of PBL class), and techniques (designing PBL class, PBL tutoring) at a level 1(level of PBL implementation).

In order to do this, we are here presenting a didactic proposal using Project Based Learning (PBL) as a methodological approach, which is framed in the subject of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the field of education. A quantitative methodology has been carried out using the technique of the questionnaire for data collection. For the assessment, the Questionnaire of Effectiveness of the use of methodologies for Active Participation (CEMPA) has been used. This has been divided into 4 dimensions: Specific Skills, General Skills, Systemic and Interpersonal Skills (Carrasco, Donoso, Duarte-Atoche, Hernandez & Lopez, 2015). The outcomes are highly positive. These results are supported by other results obtained in former investigations which underwent similar research. Likewise, it is shown that the use of this methodology facilitates the acquisition of digital competence, as well as the development of different skills that are addressed with the use of this type of methodology. In conclusion, it can be established that the PBL has helped students of the Blended Learning mode to obtain a significant learning both, in the Specific skills as in the General and Systemic ones. On the contrary, no significant learning in Interpersonal skills has been obtained. This may be due to the fact that students under the Blended Learning mode have little interaction with the rest of their peers since it takes place mainly through digital channels.","PeriodicalId":413360,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on e-Learning 2019","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124197567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
