Figure 11: Quality improvements of teaching by VLE and expected improvements

Table 2 illustrates the usage of different information systems, other manual or alternative methods in

managing daily activities in universities. Those activities are students' feedback management in
teaching and learning, student assessments, internship, extra-curricular activities, general

administration, human resource management, financial activities, and physical resources management.
These are more critical activities that are directly related to improving the quality of universities.

According to the results, many activities are performed through manual methods. In a few cases,
universities use standard information systems for these activities. In addition, results show that

Google forms and LMS modules usually apply for feedback collections in several activities.
