There has been little research on assessment of learning management systems (LMS) within educational organizations as both a web-based learning system for e-learning and as a supportive tool for blended learning environments. This study proposes a conceptual e-learning assessment model, hexagonal e-learning assessment model (HELAM) suggesting a multi-dimensional approach for LMS evaluation via six dimensions: (1) system quality, (2) service quality, (3) content quality, (4) learner perspective, (5) instructor attitudes, and (6) supportive issues. A survey instrument based on HELAM has been developed and applied to 84 learners. This sample consists of students at both undergraduate and graduate levels who are users of a web-based learning management system, U-Link, at Brunei University. UK The survey instrument has been tested for content validity, reliability, and criterion-based predictive validity. The analytical results strongly support the appropriateness of the proposed model in evaluating LMSs through learners' satisfaction. The explanatory factor analysis showed that each of the six dimensions of the proposed model had a significant effect on the learners' perceived satisfaction. Findings of this research will be valuable for both academics and practitioners of e-learning systems.

Multi-dimensional evaluation of e-learning systems in the higher education context: empirical investigations Köseler, Refika; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2009) There has been little research on assessment of learning management systems (LMS) within educational organizations as both a web-based learning system for e-learning and as a supportive tool for blended learning environments. This study proposes a conceptual e-learning assessment model, HELAM (Hexagonal e-Learning Assessment Model) suggesting a multi-dimensional approach for LMS evaluation via six dimensions: (1) system quality, (2) service quality, (3) information (content) quality, (4) learner perspective...
Multi-dimensional evaluation of E-learning systems in the higher education context: An empirical investigation of a computer literacy course Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2009-12-01) Research addressing the conceptualization and measurement of learning management systems (LMS) within educational organizations as both a web-based learning system for e-learning and as a supportive tool for blended learning environments is receiving attention, and this research study proposes a conceptual e-learning assessment model, HELAM (Hexagonal e-Learning Assessment Model), suggesting a multi-dimensional approach for LMS evaluation via six dimensions: (1) system quality, (2) service quality, (3) cont...
Work in Progress - Learning Management Systems Acceptances of Instructors from Various Departments: Empirical Investigation Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2010-10-30) Development of a learning management system requires a multidisciplinary approach and comparison of instructors' adoption in different departments towards system use is one of the most important targets to be considered. The purpose of this study is to identify the salient factors related with the instructors' adoption of learning management system and to reveal the differences between Engineering and Arts and Science and Education instructors' intention towards the use of system. The result of this study w...
EFL Preservice Teachers’ Online Flipped Task Design and Universal Design for Learning: Towards a More Engaging and Inclusive Learning Environment Kaçar, Işıl Günseli (2021-11-05) Online flipped learning is an innovative pedagogical approach prioritizing an active, dynamic and interactive learning environment for creative learner engagement. The extant literature on flipped classrooms mostly focuses on the impact of flipped learning on student achievement and teachers’ and students’ attitudes towards flipped learning in the tertiary context. However, the flipped task design and the benefits and challenges associated with it have been underexplored. Similar to the flipped learn...
Effectiveness of Learning Objects in Primary School Social Studies Education: Achievement, Perceived Learning, Engagement and Usability GÜRER, MELİH DERYA; Yıldırım, Zahide (2014-10-01) Learning objects originated from the object oriented approach in computer science and defined as "any digital resource that can be reused to support learning" (Wiley, 2001), and they are also used in learning and teaching environments. However, literature on learning objects focus on their technical characteristics and metadata. Research on the effects of learning objects on teaching-learning environments especially in social studies lessons is scarce. So, this study examines the effectiveness of learning o...
