온라인 교육을 위한 LMS 패러다임의 전환

Abstract

Purpose: Online education has increased due to the development of the information and communications technology and the Covid-19 pandemic, which requires to re-define foundational concepts including talented people. In this study, we examine and re-define concepts of roles and functions in LMS and demonstrate an example of LMS fitted to online education. Methods: Systematic review was applied to examine the roles and functions in LMS, which allows to re-define online education. Based on literature review and case study, we explored specific approaches of LMS to help student learning. Also, we demonstrated learning analytics and online assessment as primary functions of LMS via a well-developed LMS. Results: Study results summarize two-folds of LMS: the one is learning analytics and the other is online assessment. That is, LMS should be designated based on learning analytics that indicates student’s learning progress and predicts student’s achievement. LMS should also include ‘on-the-fly’ online assessment that measures student’s learning within online education. Based on these aspects of LMS, we introduced a LMS, called CLASS. Implications: Research on LMS for online education should be collaborated with learning analytics and online assessment, which boosts a convergence research encompassing three topics for online education. Results also inform that LMS plays a key role in cultivating people of talent for 4th industrial revolution and in improving fairness in educational opportunities.
