Abstract:

Learning and technology, the combination is best suited for today’s generation of students. The latest trends in teaching and learning suggest the use of strategies that promote student-led learning or active learning. The teachers are playing the role of facilitators to guide the students in the selection of appropriate educational resources, which is helpful for an enhanced learning environment. Although many awareness sessions are being given to the students regarding various benefits of flipped approach in learning, still it is difficult to motivate a particular group of students, more appropriately recognized as surface learners. To engage the students more in a flipped teaching environment, continuous monitoring needs to be done regarding how much time they spent on LMS reading the material, taking up the quizzes/formative assessments or watching the videos prior to/after the session. This paper highlights some of the key advantages of implementation of an e-tool which is ‘Talent LMS’. The reports generated from this LMS can help the facilitators in making the students accountable for their performance in the summative assessments. The e-tool will be used for the same in of the modules and the study is based on a comparison of students’ performance before and after the practice. This study will demonstrate the effectiveness of Talent LMS in e-learning and will help in enhancing teaching and learning practices. The authors will suggest a new framework for implementing effective learning strategies using Talent LMS as the core platform.
