    Learning management systems and cloud file hosting services: A study on students' acceptance
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2014) Stantchev, Vladimir; Colomo-Palacios, Ricardo; Soto-Acosta, Pedro; Misra, Sanjay
    The aim of this paper is to investigate the motivations that lead higher education students to replace several Learning Management Systems (LMS) services with cloud file hosting services for information sharing and collaboration among them. The research approach is based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). More specifically, the model is devoted to identifying barriers and enablers to the acceptance of these technologies. A questionnaire comprising three factors (Attitude toward using technology, Perceived ease of use and Perceived usefulness) was applied to a sample consisting of 121 higher education students. Results show that the perceived ease of use of cloud file hosting services is above that of LMS tools and services and that cloud file hosting services presented higher levels of perceived usefulness than standard learning management tools. In addition, attitude toward using cloud file hosting services is well above that of using LMS tools. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    How Content Management Problem of a Remote Laboratory System Can Be Handled by Integrating an Open Source Learning Management System? Problems and Solutions
    (2007) Özdoǧru,B.; Cagiltay,N.E.
    This paper represents the design and implementation of the integration process of an open source learning management system (LMS) to the remote laboratory platform. The reason of using a learning management system is to prevent the problems which can be seen in the learner side of the remote laboratory systems. However, since using a learning management system such as Moodle can handle the learner problems, since it is a separate system, there are still other problems to be handled such as integrating it with the other parts of remote laboratory systems. This study explores the background information of LMS, the problems faced while integrating Moodle to remote laboratory applications, the chosen content management systems' architecture, our architecture for integrating Moodle with the remote laboratory system and the solutions we propose for the problems. © 2007 IEEE.
