Abstract

This paper explores students' perception and experience with an online Learning Management System (LMS) and its relationship to the areas that are crucial for a constructivist learning environment. We surveyed 526 college students from a public university in the Philippines to look at their extent, confidence, and satisfaction of using LMS. We also used the Constructivist On-Line Learning Environment Survey (COLLES) to measure the students' preferred and actual experience in terms of the LMS' role in professional relevance, reflective thinking, interactivity, cognitive demand, affective support, and interpretation of meaning. Majority of the students have experience with various LMS and have been using online learning platforms for more than two years. Results showed that students' satisfaction and confidence in using the LMS have a large significant positive relationship. However, a significant difference was found when their preferred experience and actual experience were compared for all the statements of the six COLLES dimensions. This indication that the students' expectations on these aspects were not met during their actual experience is a call to action to both administrators and teachers to ensure that the use of online learning platforms do not hinder the students to actively construct their own knowledge and understanding through experiences and interactions.
