Learning Management System (LMS)

Course by Professor Chris Beem M.S.  e-Portfolio by Dana Payne

Week 6 Objectives

M8.1 LMS Assignment
Operating System:   OSX (Yosemite 10.10.5)  
Applications:   MOODLE, & YouTube
Software:   Photoshop, QuickTime, Snapz Pro, PowerPoint, Word  
Equipment:   
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.4.1
MacBook Pro (15 in Retina)

Time Required: 52 hours.

For this assignment we were provided with information about the Learning Management Systems (LMS's) and were asked to create our own fictitious yet functional online lesson using MOODLE/iLearn or another LMS application.

The assignment required that we compare the popular LMS's that are being used today.  The list is as follows;
     1. MOODLE
     2. Google Classroom
     3. Blackboard
     4. Schoology
     5. Canvas

MOODLE was used to create "Sea Monsters of Monterey Bay," MOODLE has organizational and design features.  Designing a lesson plan can be as simple and straightforward, or it can become a maze of confusion with many paths and layers. My recommendation to beginners, like myself, is to create a simple lesson plan.  You can build additional  functions later.  I was impressed with the options available, and look forward to learn more about the features to select from.

Regarding Google Classroom, I have heard positive reviews from my classmate and teammate who has built lesson plans from Google Classroom.  Her students reviewed the lesson and responded favorable.  I will make it a point to learn more about Google Classroom and will make my comments available here on this page at a future date.

Regarding Blackboard, I was invited to participate as a student to make coiled clay pots by my classmate.  She sent me an email with clear instructions to signup and create a student profile.  Her blocks were organized, and the overall appearance was nice and uncluttered.  From a student's point of view, Blackboard is well structured and user friendly.

At this time I am not able to compare or make comments on the differences between Schoology and Canvas.



Reflection-
It was recommended that we watch the video series, "Teaching with MOODLE" by Mary Cooch. The videos are short in duration but packed with a lot of information.  I watched all 34 videos including a few videos made from MOODLE from YouTube.  I watched several videos repeatedly to become familiar with the MOODLE lingo.  I do recommend watching the video series by Mary Cooch.

Reflections on my experience working on MOODLE:
My experience working with MOODLE is limited.  During the past several weeks I have been using iLearn/MOODLE to submit my lessons and projects from the point of view as a student of CSUMB.  This lesson was my first attempt to build my online class "Sea Monsters of Monterey Bay."  

After I reviewed Mary Cooch's video series and the MOODLE YouTube videos I felt confident that I was off to a great start.  

During the first several hours I felt lost and felt as if I may be behind my classmates.  I referred to the video's for instruction and to learn the lingo. In hindsight many procedures seem logical and I wondered why I didn't understand how to get a particular feature up and running much sooner.  

In an attempt to create my site to look and feel like a real online school I created two entries the first being the real class offered "Sea Monsters of Monterey Bay," and the second was a class no longer available titled "Dinosaurs in Monterey County."  In hindsight, I believe this is confusing and should not have been viewable unless students could sign up and enroll in the class.
​
Perfect LMS
The perfect LMS would be user friendly.  Search fields available.  Avoid too many layers, passwords, and permissions.
