Description
Summary:Nowadays, most universities provide a learning management system (LMS) to support teaching and learning. These LMS provide an ability to publish learning content, announce news and exchange opinion etc. However, most students may not pay attention to LMS when compared with online social media which play a key role in student’s everyday life. This paper presents the development of a Facebook application called F-learning for supporting Moodle LMS by presenting activities such as quiz and assignment files. F learning will notify students through Facebook when activities have been updated. Moreover, F-learning is also able to rank quiz score by H-index concept, rewarding the top-3 in each course, displaying and sharing overall medal table in accordance with the Gamification concept. The evaluation results reveal that F-learning can motivate students to use the learning manage system.
