Abstract

Instructors often experience difficulties in selecting and sequencing relevant content for deployment into learning management systems. Human error and subjectivity is apparent. This study focuses on integrating learning management systems and massive open online courses with the goal of eliminating the human element in uploading content. As far as data sharing is concerned, learning management systems and massive open online courses have known weaknesses. The proposed integration aims to reach a tradeoff between the two systems. A requirements elicitation exercise was conducted towards identification of the component units of a hybrid system. The study utilized a mixed method approach to realize the foundation of the integrated design model. The findings, based on evaluation, showed that experts established completeness of the software design model. They, however, expressed the need for the designs to be extended towards accommodating artificial intelligence features. The proposed designs, thus, present a baseline framework upon which implementation considerations may be built on.
