Dr. Ms . Sameena Falleiro

Abstract :

 Open Distance Learning (ODL) is the fastest growing segment of higher education. ODL via web delivery is typically delivered by enterprise wide Learning Management Systems (LMS) which have become integral to university teaching–learning environments. LMS are software systems that synthesize the functionality of computer–mediated communications software and online methods of delivering course activities and materials. LMS are at the forefront of online technologies making a serious impression on patterns of learning and teaching in Higher Education. LMS are being used for presenting online or technology–enhanced classes and they influence pedagogy by presenting default formats that are designed to guide instructors toward creating courses in certain ways. If LMS are affecting pedagogy, then they are likely to be affecting student study habits, learning and motivation. The current research study aims at exploring the role of LMS in motivating students to learn in an ODL Environment.
