Learning Management System success: Increasing Learning Management System usage in higher education in sub-Saharan Africa

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. This expenditure continues to increase, raising questions as to whether LMS in these institutions are fulfilling their potential.
