Design and Build an Assessment Platform by Inserting Moodle-Based Cryptographic Methods

The use of digital platforms in the learning process is increasing, especially in the context of assessment activities. In this context, it is essential to realize that digital platforms can be subject to attack or fraud by irresponsible parties. It is due to the presence of sensitive data and/or restricted to a limited number of authorized persons. Therefore, the protection of data and its security in using digital platforms is very important. To enhance this layer of security in data protection, cryptographic methods play a crucial role in maintaining information security. By applying cryptographic methods to learning platforms for assessment purposes, we can increase the security and integrity of the data involved in the assessment process. This research aims to produce a plugin that can be used on a Moodle-based Learning Management System (LMS). This plugin will provide an additional activity in the form of an assessment activity with an essay exam type. When this plugin is used, all questions and answers will be encrypted into text that is difficult to understand by unauthorized parties when an attack attempt occurs. In this way, the learning platform for assessment purposes can safeguard and protect data from access by irresponsible parties.

This has an impact on the activities to experience restrictions, including the aspects of Teaching and Learning Activities (KBM) in Higher Education. Based on the Joint Decree of the 4 Ministers, learning activities, especially at tertiary institutions in all zones, must be carried out online. Institution designs a distance learning system use the e-learning system. One of the Best Private Universities in Central Java, namely Dian Nuswantoro University, helped build a distance learning system, namely KULINO, which is a Moodle-based Learning Management System (LMS) in overcoming the Covid-19 Pandemic situation. This research aims to discover the social interactions that occur in online learning using KULINO. This study uses a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. Research results show interaction between students and lecturers in synchronous learning is more interactive. In contrast, the asynchronous learning interactions run in one direction so education is not interactive. The form of social interaction in online learning is associative in the form of cooperation and assimilation, while the form of dissociative interaction is in the form of conflict in the task group. Learning that is synchronously intertwined is more interactive, althought it must still be combined with asyncronous. Suggestions that can be given are that lecturers should be able to build interesting situations so that students are not bored and passive during online lectures.

Development Of Website and Moodle Learning Management Systems at a YPPI-II High School

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, school management continues to strive to maintain the quality of academic services so that Teaching and Learning Process (TLP) activities always run as they should. However, there are some barriers to TLP with the Distance Learning (DL) pattern, either from the preparative aspect of Human Resources (HR) or network technical aspects. Also, the partner schools do not yet have the official website facilities and significant DL media. Meanwhile, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is currently the main medium to reach students in DL. Teachers need to reconsider when, where, and how online learning occurs, and adapt their methodological approach. Therefore, through the Community Partnership Program (CPP), the implementation team offers the development of a school website and the use of a Moodle-based Learning Management System (LMS) in partner schools at SMA YPPI-II Surabaya. This community service activity is done to support the website as a medium of information and promotion and to maintain an efficient and effective existence. Likewise, the Moodle application is used as a support for online TLP in addition to direct learning through video conference with the digital platform, like Zoom or Google meets. The method of implementing CPP is by presenting, training, and mentoring the Moodle application and website for teachers and partner staff who will later act as users. The results of this activity made a positive contribution to the improvement of HR skills and access to school information with the related parties.

QUALITY OF EXPERIENCES (QOE) WITH E-LEARNING AMONG NURSING STUDENTS IN A PRIVATE HEALTHCARE UNIVERSITY SETTING IN MALAYSIA.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, students in higher education institutions are not allowed to be on campuses due to safety reasons. However, educational activities need to continue, and students need to graduate on time. To facilitate teaching, learning, and assessment, E-learning had been adopted globally by all educational institutions from schools to Higher learning institutes. Therefore, this research aims to assess nursing students’ satisfaction and behavioural intentions towards E-learning, mainly on the Moodle-based Learning Management System (LMS). Methods: This cross-sectional survey study includes 160 nursing students from one of the private nursing colleges in Malaysia. A validated questionnaire SERVQUAL was used for data collection. The questionnaire has five (5) quality dimension constructs to measure E-learning quality. The questionnaire also included questions related to satisfaction with the E-learning and behavioural intentions of learners regarding the use of E-learning in the future. The data was collected using Google forms. Results: The study findings show that respondents positively rated E-learning quality on a Likert scale of 1-4, ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree (M=2.5; SD=0.36). Pearson Correlation test showed that all five quality dimensions, namely “Empathy,” “Assurance,” “Reliability,” “Responsiveness,” and web content quality, had positive Correlation with E-learning quality. However, “Reliability” and website content had the most positive influence on E-learning quality (r=0.733; p=0.000). The findings also suggest that E-learning quality was not a big driver for the behavioural intentions in promoting online E-learning (r =0.185; p =0.019). However, grade expectations were found to have a strong positive relationship with the satisfaction of learners with E-learning. Conclusion: Providing quality E-learning platforms and experiences can help improve the E-learning quality experience of the learners, promote satisfaction and grade expectations of the learners of higher education institutions. Given the characteristics of nursing students, it is necessary to develop and apply an effective and viable E-learning educational program to sustain motivation and produced the desired learning outcome among nursing students.
