Abstract

Open University Malaysia (OUM) is an open and distance learning institution which provides opportunities for lifelong learning. OUM continuously strives to improve and maintain quality programme delivery in the attempt to produce quality graduates. OUM has been using its own in-house developed learning management system called myVLE (my Virtual Learning Environment) to support lifelong learning undertakings. Since 2002, myVLE has gone through minor enhancements. In late 2013, a new platform was designed and developed with the aim for a more user-friendly learning environment besides providing an optimised online learning experience. The new version of the myVLE was released in January 2014, to be used only for six fully online courses. In September 2014, all courses offered by OUM were migrated to the new myVLE. With the migration and the introduction to the new functions of the new myVLE, it was necessary to make efforts to provide additional support to the learners and online facilitators for a smooth transition. To assist users in adapting to a new user-interface several incentives were taken which include: (a) the development of a learning courseware, (b) short online video clips, and (c) face-to-face training for online facilitators. This paper focuses on the development and use of the learning courseware which was instructionally designed based on ADDIE model. (Abstract by author)
