Learning English Language through LMS: Designing a New Course

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

No university in the 21th century is able to exist without either an open source or a commercial version of the software enabling teaching and learning online. Learning management systems (LMS) in tertiary education are becoming a commonplace and play a prominent role in the education process, paving a new way by altering the existing teaching and learning programmes – from traditional classes through blended ones to totally synchronous or asynchronous distant courses. LMSs are the most representative e-learning applications. Some are open source software, others are commercially provided. They can be used for distance-learning and as a supplement to in-class lectures, on which course announcements, homework assignments, lecture notes and slides can be posted, for Internet access (OECD, 2005). The University of Defence is becoming a distance education provider through adopting web-based learning and teaching via Moodle LMS that enables both on-university students and off-university students – military professionals to access their courses. The authors’ objective was to design courses that combine good technical support and quality content and to examine the possibilities of implementation of written to spoken word conversion software. The article discusses the viability of using the combination of Moodle LMS and Balabolka text-to-speech (TTS) conversion tool for enhancing English language skills of Czech military professionals in compliance with NATO STANAG 6001.
