Challenges Facing Faculty Members When Using a Learning Management System

2. Literature Review

Information and communication technology (ICT) use in universities is not limited to LMSs; many studies are exploring the use of other channels and applications. Recent research focused on utilizing social media in conducting many educational activities (Aljasir, Bajnaid, Elyas, & Alnawasrah, 2017; Madge et al., 2009; Moran et al., 2011), where such applications are becoming popular among faculty members and students. Other outlets like the Internet, e-mail, and other Web 1.0 or Web 2.0 tools are also utilized by universities in an attempt by faculty members and students to improve the learning process. This study will explore the use of a LMS as a major tool for educational activities. The following sections will try to summarize what the literature reported in this regard.
