This paper presents the essential information about Learning Management System (LMS). Many universities use LMS or Learning content management system (LCMS) to support courses offered. During the past decade education systems have been re-engineered for bringing efficiency, effectiveness and economy through usage of open source LMS. These enhanced services share cloud computing approach to provide an optimal e-learning management for generating creative and intelligent decisions. The paper explains how to improve and extend the function of Moodle to support Computer Science Education (CSE). LMSs support several software tools to manage theoretical materials of CSE. However, the practical software tools needed by the Computer Science courses are ignored or simply not considered in most of the LMSs. This paper suggests a solution to overcome the limitations regarding software tools required for practical learning aspects and programming assignments using VPL as a plugin.

Abstract


This paper presents the essential information about Learning Management System (LMS). Many universities use LMS or Learning content management system (LCMS) to support courses offered. During the past decade education systems have been re-engineered for bringing efficiency, effectiveness and economy through usage of open source LMS. These enhanced services share cloud computing approach to provide an optimal e-learning management for generating creative and intelligent decisions. The paper explains how to improve and extend the function of Moodle to support Computer Science Education (CSE). LMSs support several software tools to manage theoretical materials of CSE. However, the practical software tools needed by the Computer Science courses are ignored or simply not considered in most of the LMSs. This paper suggests a solution to overcome the limitations regarding software tools required for practical learning aspects and programming assignments using VPL as a plugin.
