Excellence in Education Journal, v5 n1 p4-23 Win 2016
This study investigated student perceptions of a Learning Management System (LMS) and student levels of participation and interaction with course content provided by the LMS in a high school science classroom. A survey was administered to 122 students in a traditional high school, measuring student perceptions of course content provided through the LMS. Statistical data on LMS usage by student participants was compiled from the embedded tracking tools including overall time on the LMS, time of day of student access, and average hourly student use of the LMS. The findings of this study lend support for the benefits of learning management systems and access to online learning content as a means to engage students.
