Abstrakt: The article discusses the benefits of the use of learning management systems (LMS) software products in universities and colleges in the U.S. The author relates that one side of the LMS represents its face validity and the raw functionality of the system. Most LMSs consist of fairly generic tools such as quiz/test options, forums, scheduling tools and grading mechanism. The ability to interact with students using the LMS provides faculty with a layer of security that is absent when a class is completely online.
