Trends and the Future of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) in Higher Education

July 20, 2017

Today’s higher education institutions are encountering many challenging and complicated issues, including increasing student enrollment in their education programs and expanding an infrastructure—such as a Learning Management System (LMS)—in order to accommodate increased enrollment and diversified classes, and to support student learning and faculty teaching (Dobre, 2015). To meet the need for a supportive learning environment in higher education institutions, various types of LMS vendors such as proprietary LMSs, opensource LMSs, and cloud-based LMSs have been introduced into higher education institutions (Dobre, 2015). The adoption of LMSs is a noteworthy phenomenon in higher education. Nearly 99% of higher education institutions currently adopt and run an LMS (Dahlstrom, Brooks, & Bichsel, 2014). According to an Educause Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR) survey, 85% of faculty use an LMS with 56% using it on a daily basis, and 83% of students use an LMS with 56% using it in most or all courses (Berking & Gallagher, 2016; Brown, Dehoney, & Millichap, 2015).
