Abstract

The digital transformation in higher education necessitates the enhancement of faculty capacity in leveraging online learning technologies, one of which is the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). This community service initiative aimed to strengthen the competencies of lecturers at STMIK Profesional Makassar in effectively and independently utilizing Moodle LMS. The training was conducted in two sessions using a hands-on approach, covering the management of instructional materials, discussion forums, quizzes, assignments, and learning evaluations. The results indicated significant improvements in mastering Moodle’s structure and core features, lecturers’ readiness to manage an inclusive, flexible, and adaptive digital learning ecosystem, as well as their ability to develop digital learning materials, manage discussion forums, and design system-based evaluations. These enhancements had a direct impact on the quality of interaction and student learning outcomes. Moreover, this initiative supported sustainable digital transformation at the institutional level, reinforcing STMIK Profesional Makassar’s image as a progressive higher education institution responsive to the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
