The Level of Adoption and Use of Learning Management Systems among Teachers and Students in Higher Educational Institutions in Greater Noida

Abstract

This study investigated the adoption and use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) among teachers and students in private higher education institutions in Greater Noida, India. The study is significant as it highlights their role in enhancing teaching, learning, and digital competency. Using a Cross-Sectional Survey Design, data were collected from 182 participants (76 teachers and 106 students) across two universities. The researcher used Descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple regression analyses to examine LMS usage, adoption levels, and the influence of UTAUT constructs and demographics. Findings revealed that students’ adoption is primarily driven by perceived usefulness and social influence, while teachers’ adoption depends on perceived ease of use and facilitating conditions. Persistent challenges, including limited internet connectivity, outdated devices, and insufficient faculty training, constrain effective LMS utilization. Overall, LMS adoption is moderate to positive, but successful integration requires addressing these infrastructural and training gaps. Based on the findings, the study recommends enhancing technological infrastructure, providing continuous faculty training, establishing departmental LMS support, promoting peer mentoring, and implementing regular monitoring to optimize engagement and learning outcomes.
