Joel S Mtebe, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Abstract
Learning Management Systems (LMS) have been widely adopted by higher education institutions globally for over a decade. Institutions in sub-Saharan Africa now spend a significant proportion of their limited resources on installing and maintaining LMS.
