Learning with Technology: A Student Guide

Abstract

The rapid evolution of technology has presented both teachers and students with a unique set of advantages as well as challenges. The inability of individuals to adapt to technological developments when confronted with a bewildering array of terminology and platforms can have serious legal and social implications. // The student learning guide has been developed with the aim of addressing technological developments in an area of learning which has now been designated at Technology Enabled Learning (TEL). The objective of this guide is to enable the usage of technology in order to enhance the teaching and learning process within the context of the current laws and guidelines pertaining to the usage of multi-media in Malaysia. // The guide commences with an introduction to the Universiti Malaysia Sabah Learning Management System (UMS LMS), which is based on the Moodle Open source platform. The UMS LMS has been designated as SMART2UMS. Students have been provided with the basic instructions, such as registration at the site, as well as more advanced instructions pertaining to the assessment tools such as quiz and assignment.
