Data is employed to design and develop Enhance LMS for CCS Department. Results The respondents are using the typical software like google classroom, google meet, and zoom, etc., that needed to download and install the software to access, are hassle to change the software for another functionality that they need for their lessons. Discussion and Conclusion To address the mention challenges, this study recommends the consideration of the proposed Enhancing the Online Learning Delivery of Mabini Colleges Inc. CCS using LMS web-based technology that facilitates access to video conferencing and other activities that other LMS software cannot provide for online learning. 4 INTRODUCTION A learning management system, (LMS) is a software designed specifically to create, distribute, and manage the delivery of educational content. Also, can improve academic learning, quick and easy to access the learning materials, productive, cost-effective, and easy to find the files or materials. Can generate reports to cater the needs for course completion and progress. Instructors can upload learning materials, deliver their lessons to the students, serving notifications, sharing data with authorized users and video conferencing for the student to attend for their online classes, and can generate reports and for their exams, quizzes and grades. In Mabini Colleges Inc., the CCS department have 150 students from 1st year – 4th-year that will only respondents access this website with help of their department administrator. LMS most often operates inside of a web-browser through internet, behind a secured site log-in process. This gives all students and instructors easy access to course/subjects on their field, while administrators and leaders can monitor student progress and make improvements PROBLEM STATEMENT Overview The paper will study the educational contents to address the following research problems concerned to improving and enhancing the learnings using the LMS that deal with the students. Research Question/ Hypothesis 1. What is the present LMS used in Mabini Colleges Inc. in terms of: a. Student information management. b. Course content management. c. Reports and Grades creation 2. What framework shall be used to develop an LMS to be use in Mabini Colleges Inc. in terms of: - Student information management. - Course content management. - Reports and Grades creation 3. What are the significant differences of LMS that Mabini Colleges currently using compare to Enhancing The online Learning Delivery of Mabini Colleges inc. CCS Using (LMS) in terms of ? a. Student information management. b. Course content management. c. Reports and Grades creation 5 OBJECTIVES AND AIMS Overall Objective This paper is focused on enhancing the Online Learning Delivery of Mabini Colleges Inc. CCS Department. Through research and investigation with the current LMS that are being used on the Department, the team will provide an Enhanced online Learning Management System (LMS) software that will cater the students and teachers needs on reliable, usable and effective LMS. Specific Aims 1. To study how online delivery affects the students of the CCS Department from 1st year – 4th year level of Mabini Colleges and how does the Instructors is dealing with the situation. 2. To design and develop a learning management system (LMS) that can create, distribute, and manage the delivery of educational content. 3. To enhance and improve learning by devising the applicability of the proposed learning management system (LMS) as the facility that gives the students and the instructor to easily access the subjects. 6 BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE Sidney Pressey (1924), develop the first teaching machine. The teaching machine offered various kinds of practical exercises and multiple-choice questions. Milton Ezra LeZerte (1929), created the problem cylinder, a device which provided instruction without the need for an instructor’ s intervention. Gordon Pask and McKinnonWood (1956), pioneered the SAKI (Self-Adaptive Keyboards Instructor) the first machine to offer learning that felt mildly personal. Dr. Donald Bitzer (1960), invented the PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operation) a computer-based training program allowing learners to monitor their learning progress, self-paced learning. Hewlett Packard (1970), he was known by the abbreviation “ HP” . He introduced the first-ever desktop. Robert Elliot Kahn and Vint Cerf (1982), they develop the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). It is the basic communication language or protocol of the internet that made the online learning possible. SoftArc (1990), launched the first-ever LMS (Learning Management System) software for the Macintosh platform. Martin Dougiamas (2002), introduced the Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) an open-source internal network. 7 RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Overview For the design and development of the proposed system, a cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS) platform through which education and training content is delivered that can improve learning, make it faster productive, and cost-effective will be integrated to the Mabini Colleges CCS Department. The CCS-LMS contains a core functional platform that enables administrators/Professors to upload learning content, deliver lessons to students, serving notifications, and share data with authorized users. Population and Study Sample The respondents to achieve the goals for this research will be coming from CCS Department (5) And 1st – 4th year CCS students (230) of Mabini Colleges, Inc. Sample Size and Selection of Sample Using Slovin’ s formula, the sample size for CCS students to be subjected to the survey questionnaire is determined to 125. While the respondents that will be interviewed include the CCS teachers and 12 selected students from the 1st year – 4th year of the CCS Department. Sources of Data Data will be coming from the results of surveys, interviews, group discussions, and document analysis as to the current situation on the locale of this study, and evaluation of the proposal is concerned. While, the information will be taken from related studies to established the framework that is used in the design and development of proposed Enhancing the online learning delivery of Mabini Colleges Inc, CCS using LMS. Collection of Data Data will be randomly collected from the source of data based on the determined sample size using a Questionnaires and surveys, Interviews, Observations, and Documents and Records. 8 Exposure Assessment The proposed learning management system, (LMS) that delivers lessons to students, serves notifications, share data with authorized users, and video conference for the student will be tested and evaluated by Instructors and students from the College of computer studies (CCS Data Management Data Management Collected data of evaluation will be summarized accordingly to conform to the data analysis strategies that will be used Data Analysis Strategies Data Analysis Strategies Distribution and weighted mean to evaluate and analyse the needs and benefits of the Proposed Learning management system and analysing the outcome and differences of other LMS to the proposed LMS.
