In this article, the authors present a broad, critical examination of the potential impact of online learning management systems on teaching and learning in universities and discuss the possible effects of LMS on teaching practices, on student engagement, on the nature of academic work and on the control over academic knowledge.Abstract:
The rapid uptake of campus-wide Learning Management Systems (LMS) is changing the character of the on-campus learning experience. The trend towards LMS as an adjunct to traditional learning modes has been the subject of little research beyond technical analyses of alternative software systems. Drawing on Australian experience, this paper presents a broad, critical examination of the potential impact of these online systems on teaching and learning in universities. It discusses in particular the possible effects of LMS on teaching practices, on student engagement, on the nature of academic work and on the control over academic knowledge.read more
