Abstract
Abstract. The state of learning across geographic, socioeconomic, age, and gender boundaries can be enhanced greatly by Human-Computer Information (HCI) infusion into blended learning [1][2][3] or Course Management System (CMS) software [4][3][5]. The major thrust of this paper is to examine problematic issues examined in popular software such as MoodleTM in which the HCI community could be beneficial. By regarding the ultimate students’ goal, i.e. grades, and the desirable benefit of course material understanding, one can develop an understanding of what CMS software needs and CMS software users expect on the high school level.
