Abstract
Learning management systems (LMSs) that incorporate hypermedia Smart Tutoring Systems and personalized student feedback can increase self-regulated learning (SRL), motivation, and effective learning. These systems are studied with the following aims: (1) to verify whether the use of LMS with hypermedia Smart Tutoring Systems improves student learning outcomes; (2) to verify whether the learning outcomes will be grouped into performance clusters (Satisfactory, Good, and Excellent); and (3) to verify whether those clusters will group together the different learning outcomes assessed in four different evaluation procedures. Use of the LMS with hypermedia Smart Tutoring Systems was studied among students of Health Sciences, all of whom had similar test results in the use of metacognitive skills. It explained 38% of the variance in student learning outcomes in the evaluation procedures. Likewise, three clusters that grouped the learning outcomes in relation to the variable ‘Use of an LMS with hypermedia Smart Tutoring Systems vs. No use’ explained 60.4% of the variance. Each cluster grouped the learning outcomes in the different evaluation procedures. In conclusion, LMS with hypermedia Smart Tutoring Systems in Moodle increased the effectiveness of student learning outcomes, above all in the individual quiz-type tests. It also facilitated personalized learning and respect for the individual pace of student-learning. Hence, modules for the analysis of supervised, unsupervised and multivariate learning should be incorporated into the Moodle platform to provide teaching tools that will undoubtedly contribute to improvements in student learning outcomes.HIGHLIGHTS -Learning management systems (LMS) that incorporate hypermedia Smart Tutoring Systems and personalized student feedback can increase self-regulated learning (SRL).-Learning management systems with hypermedia Smart Tutoring Systems increased the effectiveness of student learning outcome.-The use of an LMS with hypermedia Smart Tutoring Systems vs. No use’ explained 60.4% of the variance in student learning outcome.
Highlights
Over the past decade, a change in the teaching-learning context has been identified
The results showed that the use of an learning management systems (LMSs) with hypermedia Smart Tutoring System influenced the learning results of the students in all the evaluation tests, except in the practices, in which both groups of students obtained similar results
The fact that the clusters obtained by k-means, when using as input variables the learning outcomes, have this strong correspondence with the control and experimental groups is an additional indication that the use of Smart Tutoring System seems to increase learning outcomes in the students
Summary
Teacher and student interaction takes places with increasing frequency through learning management systems (LMSs), such as, for example, Moodle (Modular Object Oriented Developmental Learning Environment). LMS, if well-designed, will increase self-regulated learning (SRL), planning, and the use of metacognitive skills. All of those skills will facilitate increased motivation toward learning (Mayer, 1998). Likewise, those learning environments will provide the opportunity for students to develop a framework of key processes, which will foreseeably strengthen effective learning (Sáiz et al, 2017a)
