A COMMUNITY-BASED ELECTRONIC LEARNING MANAGEMENT ECOSYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABLE LEARNING

Abstract

The primary goal of this paper is to explain the need for an Online Community-based Ecosystem (OnCE). This paper also identifies problems with the systems at two universities, University A and University B. This paper reports a learning community culture amongst five prominent role members that are the standard in a higher learning institution. The qualitative research methodology was used to collect data for this research. Data was collected via document analysis, participant observation, and in-depth interviews to refine and construct a technological ecosystem befitting for outstanding curriculum and instruction. The instruments used are a rubric for document analysis, a checklist for participant observation of three classes, and interview questions for in-depth interviews for three admin staffs, three teachers, and three students. The authors conclude that an ecosystem is essential to aid student's learning and make them better graduates, well learned with experience for the job market even when many lessons are taught remotely. The objectives, purpose and aim for the online community-based ecosystem will be fully actualized using educational technology.
