Abstract
In recent years, the landscapes of teaching and learning has changed because of the utilization of information and communications technologies. In this context, the most illustrative innovations are Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Personal Learning Environments (PLEs). Despite of the LMS and PLEs popularity in ed-ucational contexts as well as the expand set of tools and services that they offer to learners and teachers; they are still in fancy stages. In order to present the challenges Personal Learning Environments were presented; however, it is obvious that PLEs will not replace LMS. Therefore, both types of environments should coexist and interact. In this manner, the current study took teachers’ perspective on integrating the third generation LMS into PLEs. In addition, this study conducted to find out the teachers’ perspective on how the LMS could enhance PLEs in terms of planning before applying the PLE's; designing a framework in the PLE’s; imple-menting the PLEs; interacting in PLEs; managing the learning process through the PLEs and utilizing technolo-gy in PLEs. The participants of the study were 575 teachers who were selected randomly from Saudi Arabia schools. The findings of this study found that teachers must apply a positive teaching approach, holding that knowledge is composed upon student-to-student interaction as well as student-to-teacher interaction. Further-more, this study revealed that teachers must enterprise, deliver, and support K-12 online learning.
Highlights
The rapid growth of internet technologies has changed the way formal learning facilitates the educational environments
Current e-learning environment such as Learning Management System (LMS) and Personal Learning Environments are recognized as the platforms were utilized and are extensively recognized in the educational contexts [1]
The utilization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to education, triggers changes that affect the way in which people learn and teach, raising new challenges in for learners, teachers and institutions as the ICT makes obtainable the fresh tools to support learning activities that can help to satisfy needs of teachers who are directly the purpose of this study as well as learners [2]
Summary
The rapid growth of internet technologies has changed the way formal learning facilitates the educational environments. The utilization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to education, triggers changes that affect the way in which people learn and teach, raising new challenges in for learners, teachers and institutions as the ICT makes obtainable the fresh tools to support learning activities that can help to satisfy needs of teachers who are directly the purpose of this study as well as learners [2]. In the perspective of Conde et al [2] this support needs that numerous matters be addressed such as the variety of technologies and tools employed in learning contexts forces students to utilize several different systems during their training and studies; secondly, the institutions should not regard learning as being limited to formal learning environments, as people learn throughout their lives in many informal contexts which are known as lifelong learning. Tuah et al [1] considered that the application of different components like social media in learning environment will help users to create, preserve and reorganize their own content, which these components present a new way of learning in PLEs
