| Abstract/Description: | The computer industry does not understand how adults learn (Knowles, 1983). A profound statement made nearly 40 years ago. With the advancement of technology and the tremendous growth of online learning, the learning management system (LMS) has become the tool for delivering distance education. E-learning platforms have witnessed exponential uptake by the education and corporate sectors over the past three to five years (Wadhwani & Gankar, 2020). From this author's experience in the field of instructional design and online instruction, all LMSs are just a "database with a different user interface (Price, 2016)". But are there opposing perceptions from the online learner regarding two different systems of learning? With the migration of one LMS to another LMS at a large public state university, can an assumption be measured to determine significant differences between the two LMSs? This quantitative research aims to answer if there are significant differences in online student perception between two different learning management systems. Using responses to Instructor Evaluation Forms during four academic years (12 semesters), this study determined if a significant difference existed between the perceived quality of two learning management systems. Moreover, this study added to a minimal body of research regarding improving the quality of learning management systems based on the perception of online students. | |
