EDUCATION ON HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN SCHOOL WITH DISTRIBUTED PLATFORM FOR ELECTRONIC LEARNING DISPEL

Abstract

This paper makes outlines the accomplishment of efficient electronic learning through the use of the Distributed Platform for eLearning – DisPeL. DisPeL is an integrated software system that automates the management, administration and execution of the learning process and supports integration with external software systems.The last two decades the e-leaning software systems are becoming a primary instrument for assisting or even carrying out in fullness the process of education. These instruments are already an established tool in almost every sphere of education and business. The primary goal to autonomously maximize the effect of electronic learning is achieved through the use of adaptive tools.This paper emphasizes on creating opportunities to carry out an educational course with the help of DisPeL. The research is related to creating a theoretically sound and completed technological model of an educational course in a virtual educational environment. We created a pedagogical design of a university course in “Management of human resources in schools”, which was tested with students from program “Information technologies, mathematics and educational management”, year III, in Plovdiv University “Paisii Hilendarski”, branch Smolyan. We provided efficient utilization of learning resources, coordination, interoperability and assistance in the educational activities. We put the emphasis on the primary methods for adaptiveness, which ensure maximum results from using DisPeL – a module for management of the electronic learning content, and module for tracking the e-learning progress. An important metric is the time learners spent on the individual lessons and the total learning time. The system tracks the individual progress of learners by testing their skills at the end of every chapter. Wrong answers take students back to the respective sections from the lesson. Only correct answers to all questions allow the learner to progress to the next lesson.The developed model of the university course “Management of human resources in schools”, applied in a web environment, facilitates teachers – it is easier to update the learning content, manage a larger number of students, improve student’s motivation to acquire new knowledge and better apply this knowledge in practice.
