The Lessons learned from Covid-19, and the Implications for LMS Use to Support Student Success

Abstract

In order to smoothly transition to the online educational platforms, after the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the integration of learning management systems (LMS) becomes vital for developing countries to keep up with the dynamic international educational context. With the worldwide lockdown, due to COVID-19, and the transition to online learning, some students are satisfied with the support provided by educational institutions. Still, deficient computer skills, and lack of teacher training (Toquero & Talidong, 2020) issues, regarding curriculum, assessment, and accountability, prevented them from perceiving their improved performances in the new teaching environment in most of the developing countries (Aristovnik et al., 2020). This paper will explore how to address these challenges, considered a result of the limited numbers of trained teachers, inadequate management systems for teacher recruitment, training, performance, evaluation, and a relatively outdated curriculum, and consider more effective instructional approaches with the incorporation of learning management systems (LMS)
