Student Engagement using Learning Management System in Computer Science Education

Combined learning among the world's top universities including Malaysia was commonly recognized. Many educational organizations, like Blackboard, WebCT and Moodle, have introduced Learning Management Systems (LMSs) or Course Management Systems (CMSs), depending on the capabilities and needs of the institutions ' programmes. The aim of this paper is to report the results of implementation of learning management system (LMS) using Moodle on student engagement in Computer Science (CS) classroom for two semesters. Furthermore, we also investigating the parameters that influence student engagement and how these scales relate to each stage of learning process to produce better learning performance. The respondents for this work are students who enrolled CS courses regardless of any year. The survey conducted using online and distributed to various type of subject taught in CS for the semester to confirm the students’ learning preferences using blended learning style. From the survey results, we examine the significance correlation of learning preference style with student engagement in campus-based learning. The results show that there is an impact of LMS usage on teaching, learning and assessment based on students’ learning preferences may show better learning engagement amongst students
