Using Learning Management System Assessment Tools to Inform Faculty Practice: An Action Research Study
Sat, April 23, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), Affiliated Groups Virtual Session Rooms, Affiliated Groups Virtual Session Room 1Abstract
Northeastern Educational Research Association - The learning management system (LMS) has become a critical tool in higher education and a driving force in online learning. Understanding how faculty choose to adopt the LMS is a stepping stone to understanding how they may adopt other pedagogical and technological innovations (Rhode et al., 2017). This mixed methods action research (MMAR) study provides an opportunity for community college leadership to consider how best to support faculty (including adjunct faculty) in their needs with regards to adopting the LMS platform and its digital tools to inform their practice. Professional development that involves course-specific training and support, differentiated instruction based on faculty skill-level and pedagogical needs, and geared towards student improvement on key course outcomes, should be offered.
