ABSTRACT
A short abstract (120 word maximum) should be included here. An Abstract summarizes the
major aspects of a paper. It is usually one paragraph long, and should succinctly summarize the
purpose of the paper, the methods used, the major results, and the author's impretations and
conclusions. Avoid citing references in the abstract. Paraphrase rather than quoting. Use active
rather than passive voice (but without personal pronouns). The abstract shall be typed double
space, justified, centered, and with a column width of 4.5 inches. The abstract is preceded by a
heading of bold “ABSTRACT” and its length may not extend beyond the first page.
Keywords: e-learning, user, behaviours, template, example of format (list up not more than 7
key words).
INTRODUCTION
In many academic institutions as well as commercial organizations, the system that can support
and improve learning within an organization and institution nowadays is continuously
developing, particularly, the Learning Management System (LMS) nowadays plays more crucial
roles in distance learning because of its manageability. This system is notably able to manage
the registered users, manage course catalogues, record data from learners and its equipped with
reports for the system management. For distance-learning education, the LMS software is very
1
economical and practicable. Besides that, this software can be used in many different phases that
can support users in terms of performing content preparation by keeping user’s record. The
study on open source e-Learning user’s behaviour can be broadly advantages (Ruiz Reyes et al.,
2009).
OPEN SOURCE E-LEARNING (THIS IS A SAMPLE OF A GENERAL
SECTION HEADING)
Numbering of section headings and paragraphs should be avoided. Major section headings are
majuscule, bold, flush (aligned) left, and use the same style san-serif font as the body text.
Widow and orphan lines should also be avoided; more than one line of a paragraph should
appear at the end or beginning of a page, not one line by itself.
Learning Behaviour (This is a Sample of a Secondary (Sub-Section) Heading)
Secondary, or sub-section, headings are title case (miniscule lettering with the first letter of
major words majuscule), flush left, and bold. Secondary headings use the same serif font style as
the body text and, like section headings, should not be numbered. Sub-section heads or
secondary headings flush left, bold, 11-point in upper and lower case as shown. For subsection
heads, a word like the or a is not capitalized unless it is the first word of the header.
User behavior model development (This is a sample for tertiary headings)
The data derived for this study concerned the e-Learning user’s behavior that could affect model
analyzing from the data mining technique to be more stable and generalized. Therefore the study
of this information would be used to develop a more stable and more effective model of eLearning user’s behavior. Sub-sub headings should be indented, bold, and lower case paragraphs
letters of each words.

Equations, Abbreviations, Figures and Table
(1)
Equations. Equations are centered with the equation number flush to the right. In the text,
these equations should be referenced by name as Eq. (1). To improve readability, scalar variable
names such as a and b2 are usually italicized when appearing in text and equations.
a  b2
(1)
Abbreviations. When units of measure are abbreviated, lower case without periods is
preferred in most instances; e.g. km, kg, sec, m/s, etc., but in. for inch.
Figures. Illustrations are referenced by name and without formatting embellishments, such
as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc., or, Figures 3 and 4. Each illustration should have a caption unless it is
a mere sketch. Single-phrase captions are usually in title case; they are bold 10-point serif font
and flush left below the figure as shown in Figure 1. An explanatory caption of several sentences
is permissible. Ideally, every illustration should be legibly sized – usually about one-half or onequarter page – and appear in the text just before it is called out or mentioned. All figures and
callouts should remain clearly legible after reduction. All illustrations appear as black and white
in the final printing, although colors are retained in the electronic (CD-ROM) version.

Graphic Formats. The highest quality formats are Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) and PDF
vector-graphic formats. These formats are recommended for all illustrations, unless they create
document files that are excessively large. Photographs, illustrations that use heavy toner or ink
(such as bar graphs), and figures without text callouts, may be suitably displayed with picture
formats such as BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.
References and Citations. The parenthetical citation of bibliographical references is indicated
in the text preferably at the end of a sentence (Hipp, 2000). In the text, a reference identified by
means of an author‘s name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses. When
there are more than two authors, only the first author‘s name should be mentioned, followed by
’et al‘. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same
year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case
letter like ’a‘ and ’b‘ after the date to distinguish the works. Citations should precisely follow
APA method for both, parenthetical citation and reference entries. The reference section of this
article provide samples of the 6th edition APA reference format. The reference list must be sorted
4
alphabetically. The citation of private communication is especially discouraged, but if required it
should be cited as a footnote and include the date, professional affiliation, and location of the
person cited.
Tables. Tables are referred to by name in the text as Error! Reference source not found., or,
Tables 2 and 3. The title is flush left, italic as shown in Error! Reference source not found..
The font size inside tables should be no larger than the body text, but may be adjusted down to
9-point if necessary (10-point serif font is considered nominal). Note that table units are in
parentheses. Ideally, every table should appear within the text just after it is called out. Table
caption must briefly explain the contents of the table.
Round to two decimal digits of accuracy while reporting correlations, proportions, and
inferential statistics such as t, f, and 2 .
