Abstract

Utilization of the LMS in teaching is very crucial and reflects on the students learning. The current practices of student-centered learning (where students contribute to the subject and get involved in the learning process) can be applied very effectively through using the LMS. This paper summarizes an experiment of using the LMS (Blackboard CE8) in teaching a graduate course (Advanced Structural Geology) in Earth Sciences Department, at KFUPM. The paper demonstrates the types of tasks and assignments given to students and their involvements and contributions. Additionally, learning measurement through the satisfaction level of students and how the experiment added to their learning are also addressed in the paper.
