Area of Science:

Educational Technology
Information Systems Evaluation

Background:

Learning Management Systems (LMS) are integral to modern educational institutions globally.
Evaluating the effectiveness of these systems is crucial for optimizing their educational impact.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the characteristics of existing evaluations of Learning Management Systems (LMS).
To identify trends and gaps in current LMS evaluation methodologies.

Main Methods:

A literature review was conducted, consulting two primary sources: peer-reviewed academic journals and web documents.
The review focused on analyzing the methodologies and reported outcomes of LMS evaluations.

Main Results:

Current evaluations predominantly emphasize the technological aspects of Learning Management Systems (LMS).
There is a notable lack of evaluations focusing on pedagogical integration and educational outcomes.

Conclusions:

The findings indicate a need to shift towards theory/pedagogy-driven evaluations for LMS.
Future research should prioritize assessments that measure the impact of LMS on actual learning and educational goals.
