Embedding Teaching Plan into E-learning System

Abstract

Teaching plan (TP) or scheme of work (SOW) is a document used to plan a layout of the teaching process in an educational environment. Meanwhile, an e-learning can be used to bridge between student and teacher at anytime and anywhere to support the TP. Unfortunately, both TP and e-learning activities are prepared separately. There is a need to embed TP into e-learning to gain less effort and less time spent on preparing TP and e-learning activities singly. Moreover, the TP activities can be reused in e-learning by this embedding mechanism. The mechanism consists of TP structure which is comprising weekly activities and arranged into e-learning structure. This is achieved through setting up the Moodle environment to hold a plugin which is hosting the embedded mechanism. This paper highlights an integration between TP structure’s weekly activities like quiz and assignment to be pasted into e-learning activities automatically through the plugin. As a result, educators do prepare TP once, then embedding into e-learning without having to double their efforts and reduce time spent. The mechanism is fully supporting the TP activities to be embedded into the e-learning structure and comply with reusability concept. This will ensure the acceptability of e-learning to educators is achievable.
