Design and Implementation of a Risk Management Tool: A Case Study of the Moodle Platform

Abstract

During the last years, the distinctive feature of our society has been the rapid pace of technological change. In the Moroccan context, universities have put digital learning at the heart of their projects of development thanks to a wide range of hybrid training devices, Small Private Online Course (SPOC) and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) via Virtual Work Environment (ENT, Environnement Numérique de Travail ). On the one hand, the purpose of using these devices consist in helping improve their performance and in enhancing their attractiveness. On the other hand, is aimed at meeting the increasingly diverse student’s needs, thanks to the infrastructures reorganization and a renovated pedagogy. Also, extensive use of information and communication technologies at different universities exposes them to a problem related to information system (IS) risks in general and e-learning in particular. The risk assessment is quite complicated and multidimensional. It must take into account many components, including assets, threats, vulnerabilities, controls already in place and analyses. In this work, we first propose the methods of risk management. We then present the risk analysis related to the Moodle platform.
