Exploring security perception of learning management system (LMS) portal

The advancement of information technology has changed the education landscape. Information technology has made e-learning possible and available on a large scale. The main component of an e-learning is a learning management system (LMS). By connected and accessed to the Internet, LMS are exposed to various threats. Proper understanding of these threats combined with strategy and best practices countermeasures will ensure a safe learning environment. Therefore this study will briefly explain ten domains of information security and presents the result on a survey on student's information security perception of a learning management system. Overall, respondent has strong positive perceptions towards security of their LMS. This study provides an overall picture of information security elements of a learning management system. It can serve as an introduction which help LMS administrator to understand the issues and possibilities related to the safety of LMS.
