Session Description

Learning Management Systems (LMS) are being used widely all over Higher Education Institutions (HEI). However, there is a lack of information about how LMS's are being used, whether there is a country adoption standard, in which countries the LMSs have the highest use and which are the most adopted LMSs. Besides these statistics it would be interesting to understand how each HEI developed his LMS implementation, whether they choose an open source or a proprietary system, whether  it was a purchased or home developed system and how they measure the usage of their LMS. Each case is certainly unique but with much in common with the other cases.

The special session aims to Increase understanding of LMS adoption and usage.  Topics that include but not limited to:
  • What are the most used LMS
  • LMS adoption factors
  • Scientific areas with the highest utilizations rates of LMS
  • Comparison of different LMS platforms;
  • Best practices in LMS policies and procedures;
  • Strategies for faculty LMS orientation and ongoing education;
  • Internal review practices of LMS usage;
  • The student view vs. the professor view of LMS
  • LMSs case studies.    
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and contribution.  It is IBIMA policy to send complete papers to two reviewers for full blind peer review and to send a summary of review back to the author(s) .   Short papers/abstracts will be reviewed by reviewer and/or the editor.  All review comments and suggestions should be addressed in the final submission.  Submitted Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.

Conference proceedings will be published as an e-book on a CD (ISBN)
