Learning Management Systems (LMS) have been extensively accepted by higher education institutions universally for over a decade. Educational organisations now spend a significant proportion of their resources on installing and maintaining these systems. This expenditure continues to increase, raising questions as to whether LMS in educational organisations are fulfilling their potential. Learning Management Systems are now installed in the majority of higher education institutions. These web-based LMS are proposed to support teaching and learning activities. They consist of various features that enable teacher educators to share learning materials as well as providing interaction with their students both synchronously and asynchronously (Vovides et al. 2007). The most widely adopted LMS are Blackboard, Sakai, KEWL, and Moodle (Unwin et al. 2010). The research paper focuses on the LMS Moodle. Institutions use the LMS to supplement traditional face-to-face delivery where teacher educators develop and share digital learning materials via the Internet. In this case, the LMS are used as an electronic repositories of learning materials (Vovides et al. 2007). Institutions especially those offering distance education, have been combining LMS with traditional face-to-face delivery in order to reach more learners across various geographical boundaries (Andersson & Grönlund 2009). In light of these benefits, the adoption of LMS by higher education institutions has continued to increase in recent years. With the continued increase of LMS in recent years, this paper researches by suggesting strategies that can help teacher educators make more effective use of LMS.
