Supporting E-Learning Materials Development Cycle Through Office Application Add-in

The development of e-learning material is not only done once, but is carried out with repeated cycles. The cycle can simply be divided into 3 parts, including making, publishing, and reusing existing material. Various systems have been developed to support this cycle. Learning Management System (LMS) is the most common system used in e-learning. However, LMS alone cannot fully support the cycles mentioned earlier. Therefore, many other systems / applications are used to support the cycle. For example, a document processing application is used at the stage of making the learning material, then published to the LMS, search by using search engine and reused with specific authoring tools. In this article, we will discuss how to integrate several applications that support the development cycle of e-learning materials through an office application add-in. The add-in was used to integrate LMS and Learning Material Reconstruction System (LRMS) so that the entire development cycle of e-learning materials development can be done in one place.
