Abstract:
Over the past two years, the Covid-19 pandemic has changed all areas of life, in which education and training have been extremely affected. Colleges and universities have suspended student attendance and replaced face-to-face learning with online learning apps. Up to now, there have not been many studies on the influence of the integrated platform of technologies in online teaching. Facing that fact, it is extremely urgent to study the current situation of online learning, analyze the effects of using online teaching tools, and combine assessment tools and classroom management.
Keywords: Educational technology; Technology integration; Online teaching.
- Overview of the integration of technology in the teaching process
The online learning model has solved the immediate problem for education. But to be effective in the teaching and learning process still needs to be solved, one of the solutions given is the integration of technology platforms. Currently, there are many online learning platforms created to serve teaching – learning, such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom Meetings, Google Meet. Along with Online classroom management systems such as K12 Online, Mona eLMS, Moodle LMS. Therefore, the integration of appropriate technology platforms in teaching is extremely important. Staying at the University of Education (UEd) has chosen to use Moodle LMS as a classroom management support system. In some classrooms, teachers have used the Kahoot tool to check online assessments. Studying the influence of the integrated online teaching technology platform Zoom Meeting, Kahoot and Moodle LMS will analyze the benefits when applying the integrated platform to teaching and learning activities, classroom management and testing. assessment during online learning. In addition, the effects of technology integration platforms will be seen on students.
In general, the above studies partly show the general situation of classroom management software and online teaching on LMS platforms. However, it has not been mentioned that the integration of classroom management technology platforms, e-learning software and web-based applications is used to design online multiple-choice questions and images. effect of this integration on students. Those are also the issues that the research team is interested in around the issue of the influence of technology-integrated platforms on students in UEd.
- Methods and approaches in the research
- Survey method
The survey method is a quantitative method to collect information from the market by sending a survey to the participants in the form of face-to-face (interview) or online. Participants’ answers will be statistically, analyzed, evaluated and used to draw conclusions about the research problem.
- Documentary research methods
Is a method of using data from reliable sources (Google Scholar, Originpro) to analyze, evaluate and identify problems. From there draw accurate and effective comments.
- Data Analysis Methods
Data analysis method is a method based on information obtained and using personal knowledge to analyze and evaluate problems. That supports decision making.
- Results and Discussion
- LMS systems
A study to evaluate statistical data for online sites using the LMS technique is shown in Figure 1 below. As can be seen, Moodle is currently the most popular technology in all the mentioned countries. The sites in the total number of detected LMS technologies were 67, 45, 37, and 30% of Japan, Korea, Singapore and the United States, respectively.
Out of a total of 278 LMS site discovered in Korea, 126 (45%) sites have used Moodle as an essential technique in universities for students and teachers to teach.
- Results and data in the system including combined study and online exam
Along with the success in implementing the online teaching process, the University of Education has used LMS Moodle as a form and tool to track students’ progress in the online semester exam. The attachment function in Moodle for assignment submission, quizzes, will control whether students submit assignments on time, as well as the rate and number of students submitting homework on Moodle (Figure 2). The study was carried out in the academic year 2020-2021 at the University of Education, VNU, with a total of 180 students. This is a first-year student, new to the study environment at the university level. With the difference in goals, purposes, approaches and organizational forms of teaching when transitioning from general education to higher education, students need the support of universities and lecturers to Make a proper and effective study plan. The number of classes here are three classes “Application of ICT in education” on the LMS Moodle learning management system at the website http://moodle.ued.vnu.edu.vn.
Figure 2. Data collected from Moodle for student login and instructor assignment completion
As can be seen from Figure 2 it is shown that the number of students who completed the instructor’s task and the total number of students who accessed the system. It is suggested that the number of students being visited will be found to be much higher than the number of students who can complete the assignments assigned to them by the faculty.
- Conclusion
The outstanding result of this study is the group’s research on actual situations and specific data using effective systems and technology solutions for online teaching. It was conducted by the UEd’s research group, leading by students Dao Phuong Thanh, Ngo Thi Hoang Anh, and Dr. La Phuong Thuy, MSc. Nguyen Duc Nguyen, Dr. Tran Dinh Minh, in VNU-University of Education, 144 Xuan Thuy, Hanoi, Vietnam. The current requirement of most universities is to quickly convert the traditional method of examination, enrollment and admission to online form. Some universities have moved to distance learning, rapidly organizing teacher training courses and funding high-speed digitization. However, the current problem is how to manage and operate this e-learning system to be effective, cost-effective, and adaptable in the context of translation in the best way.
