Agile based Virtual Learning system in Management Stream

Abstract

The Agile Virtual Learning Management System (AVLMS) is a growing tool in higher management education, with 53.40% of institutes implementing it. However, 46.60% have not due to budget constraints, technical challenges, resistance, or lack of awareness. The study suggests improving the adoption and effectiveness of an Agile Virtual Learning Management System (AVLMS) for higher management institutes in Maharashtra. It aims to enhance critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills through interactive features and agile project management tools. The research reveals that 78.90% of respondents were satisfied with the AVLMS implementation, but 21.10% expressed uncertainty about its impact. Key challenges identified include technical difficulties, lack of clear structure and guidelines, resource management issues, resistance to change, and inadequate infrastructure. To address these challenges, the study proposes a multifaceted approach including comprehensive technical support, clear guidelines, change management initiatives, and continuous evaluation mechanisms. newlineThrough factor analysis and K-means clustering, the study categorizes user experiences and identifies areas for improvement. The findings suggest that AVLMS significantly improves teaching and learning practices, with higher satisfaction levels observed in institutes that adopt the system. The study recommends fostering interactive content, supporting personalized learning, and integrating real-world applications. Furthermore, a fuzzy and machine-learning-based solution is proposed to enhance AVLMS performance, addressing technical constraints and improving user satisfaction. Future research will focus on refining the AVLMS framework, validating it across different settings, and exploring its scalability and generalizability. The study underscores the need for ongoing faculty development, robust feedback mechanisms, and system enhancements to ensure AVLMS meets diverse learner needs and promotes effective educational practices.
