Pre-service Teachers First Time Experiences With A New Course Management System

Abstract

From a students perspective, course management systems are a step above a classroom website. Information sharing is no longer static; these systems utilize tools that allow information to be passed in many directions and in a number of different ways. They have the most important task - addressing the needs of the ultimate end user, the learner. This study investigated 71 pre-service teachers first time experiences and satisfaction from a pilot test of a new course management system (Moodle) implemented during an online educational technology course.
