Moodle
Theory- We place a strong emphasis on social constructivism and inclusiveness of all
students in the Idealist Curriculum Theory, Idealist. We think that open conversation and
interaction help students acquire new values, and Moodle's powerful Forum tools make
this possible (Campo, Amandi and Biset, 2021). The majority of learning analytics models
are not by default enabled. After taking into account the institutional objectives the models
are intended to support, models should be made usable.
Models- Two different models are supported by Moodle learning analytics. AI models
trained using site history are used in machine learning based models, such as predictive
models, to find or forecast hidden features of the learning process.
Techniques- The techniques involved in the Moodle are taking learning from the mobile,
free getting of the Moodle, getting personal, academia and the business were used in the
2 of 8

moodle, learning hosted more in the moodle, all the data need to be access, learning

2.0 Define
Decision Support System
A decision support system (DSS) is a computer software that an organisation or
corporation uses to support decisions, judgements, and courses of action. A DSS sorts
and examines enormous amounts of data, amassing thorough knowledge that may be
applied to problem-solving and decision-making (Teniwut and Hasyim, 2020). A DSS
typically uses data on target or predicted revenue, sales numbers or historical sales data
from various time periods, and other inventory or operations-related information.
Examples of the decision support system are the manual systems, the hybrid
system and the all types of analytics.
Executive support system
This system has been considered as executive information system This help in the
decision making support system and assure help to the senior executives and the
information is being supported by the support system management and the work is being
carried out. The major feature of the executive support systems are graphical information,
navigation of the information and abilities of drill down. Thus, this system is designed with
the critical success management factors which supports whole procedure (Primawanti and
Ali, 2022). The major examples of the executive support system are- External database
and the ESS which is integrated by investment plan. Thus, this system effectively supports
the decision making and information facilities.
Transaction processing system
This has been referred as the type of informative system that is being modified,
store and retrieves transaction of the data. Often, it helps in collecting the data for
enterprise as well. In the limited period of time this system has provided effective support
and outcomes in relation of the data storage and transaction of gathered data. This has
not been considered as critical for the real time system (Little and Shrivastava, 2022). It
becomes critical when the rapid response in being given in the fast performance. Those
users who uses system are the casual users. The major example of this system in payroll
that is being used by the organization for crediting the salary of employees. Hotel
reservation is the another example.
MIS Management Information system

used by the business organizations and other companies so they can store, retrieve, and
use the knowledge. This mainly helps in increasing the collaboration in the organization
and the process of alignment has been enhanced. Within using this system, employees
become able to share information between them and use them in order to enhance their
knowledge which helps them to perform their task in effective manner. The decision
making process can be enhanced with the help of KSM (Yee, Tan and Thurasamy, 2019).
Online community forms are the best example of KSM that generates information for the
customers on rapid note which helps in enhancing the knowledge of the customers as
well. On the other hand, instacart is another option that makes searching easy for the
users within providing numerous options. KSM helps in creating effective interaction
among the customers and business. There are numerous doubt in the mind of the
customers and KSM enables organization in context of solving the doubts of the
customers within answering the questions of the customers. Thus, in this manner KSM
enhances the interaction and along with this it helps in knowing that what decision should
business must take in order to solve the issues of the customers.

Thus, digital infrastructure effectively supports the business in terms of growing. Here are
the examples of digital infrastructure
Cloud services and software
This is the cloud computing service that helps in the storage of data and keep it
safe. It mainly includes servers, storage, software, intelligence and analytics. This perform
the major function in data analytics. Organization use this digital infrastructure in analysing
the large number of data which is being gathered and helps in storing it as well. Also, it

Disadvantages There is threat related to the lost and theft of data which leads to impact business in
negative manner. There is threat related to data leakage that can lead to create huge loss. Sometimes, there is being quality of data gets affected which leads to affect the
outcomes. There are often security issues which impacts the security of data.
II. Example of second digital infrastructure along with advantages and disadvantages
Fixed broadband
