A Move To Moodle: A Perspective Of Academics In The College Of International Tourism And Hospitality Management

Abstract:

This study aimed to present the usage of MOODLE among faculty members and students of the College of International Tourism and Hospitality Management (CITHM) of the Lyceum of the Philippines University – Laguna (LPU-L). Data were gathered from 9 faculty members and 123 students of CITHM during the first semester of academic year 2014-2015 using a researcher-made questionnaire. Results of the study show the significant role played by using MOODLE as a supplementary mode of lesson delivery. There is high utilization of MOODLE among faculty members and students of the College. The features and modules commonly used are the uploading of lessons, activities, assignments and resources. Hindrances in its use include poor internet connection and lack of knowledge of MOODLE use on the part of the faculty.
