Bridging the Gap between Advanced Distributed Teaching and the Use of Learning Management Systems in the University Context

The selection of appropriate learning management system (LMS) is critical for supporting advanced distributed teaching. A survey was targeted for understanding the features that the LMS offer for university teachers and to find if the advanced features of the LMS were utilized, The findings imply that there is a gap between the LMS tools for advanced distributed teaching and their use in the university context. The teachers using LMS were also found to be heterogeneous by their computer skills and LMS uses.
