    (International Journal of Advanced Studies in Computers, Science and Engineering, 2018-11-30) Gunawardhana, D. N. T; Perera, H. S. C
    Paper discusses the readiness for the Social Learning Management System in Sri Lankan Universities. The main objective of the study, was to identify the factors to be reconsidered in the existing Learning Management Systems. This is a multiple case study research based on two universities in Sri Lanka. Undergraduate students in the University of Colombo and the University of Moratuwa were included in the population and the sample method employed for the data collection in this research was Stratified Purposive Sampling. Learning Management System has become a support system of vital importance in higher education. Social Learning Management System is formed because of the Collaborative Learning methods in an online learning environment. The findings reveal that the willingness of undergraduate students to work in the social network environment for learning and grouping. The Social Learning Management System is a new concept and it has not yet been initiated in universities in Sri Lanka. The students’ responses have indirectly shown the importance of 'Social LMS'. That is, they have been explaining the features of 'Social LMS' in their responses. They have discussed the functionality of ‘Social LMS’ pointing out the lack of collaborative learning environment of existing LMS. The research has discovered that students already possess the mental and knowledge readiness towards the building of Social Learning Management System in Universities of Sri Lanka.

    Framework to identify the affecting factors of electronic service quality of Information Systems of a university: A CONCEPTUAL MODEL
    (International Journal of Advanced Studies in Computers, Science and Engineering, 2015-10-01) Gunawardhana, D. N. T; Perera, H. S. C
    Electronic media usage is very high in every field with technological innovation. Universities and higher education institutions also use electronic media to see the most effective results on behalf of inputs. Although information and knowledge are separate concepts, they join together to work like a combined socket and the electronic media is the key gear in a given academic environment. Latest technologies have reached the university systems at a higher priority level. From that point, usage of electronic information system has become an essential discussion in the field of education. Many a research have been done in the field of IS and have created an awareness in the direction of service quality of IS in the education environment. Identifying the factors that affect the information system service quality is important to take necessary decisions of IS. This effect was to introduce a framework to identify the affecting factors of IS service quality in a university environment. Introduced framework has principally based on the E-S-Qual model and it has moderated according to literature in this field with findings of the researcher.
