SoTL Research Spotlight Presentation

Abstract

In this research project, the term digital learning environment (DLE) is defined as the learning management system (LMS) in combination with integrated applications and services like;  media management  plagiarism assessment tools  external textbook resources  exam proctoring tools DLEs support the learning process in both the traditional in-person and online classroom environments. At many institutions, students do not receive any onboarding training for using a DLE before being expected to use them for their courses. This study was conducted to establish an understanding on the level of impact DLE training may have on first-year students entering college and their use of a DLE system which in many cases is new to them.
