Exploring Technology based Learning and Teaching through A Learning Management System

Abstract

This study explored technology-based learning and teaching through the use of a Learning Management System (LMS) in a higher education setting. Specifically, it examined the technological tools integrated within the LMS that support flexible teaching and learning, the influence of student interaction with LMS digital platforms on task performance, and the ways teachers implement and adapt their teaching strategies within the LMS environment. Employing a quantitative descriptive research design, the study involved twenty respondents composed of ten students and ten instructors from Cebu Technological University–Barili Campus, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured survey questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale and analyzed using frequency distribution, percentage, and weighted mean. Findings revealed that integrated LMS tools such as video-lecture hosting, auto-graded assessments, analytics dashboards, mobile-friendly interfaces, and collaborative workspaces strongly support flexible learning and teaching. Student interaction with LMS platforms was found to positively influence task performance, although technical glitches were identified as a significant barrier. Teachers demonstrated high levels of adaptation in organizing content, integrating multimedia resources, and fostering collaboration within the LMS, while institutional support for LMS implementation was perceived as moderate. Based on the findings, the study proposed an enhancement training and workshop plan aimed at improving LMS usability, strengthening pedagogical integration, and providing targeted technical and professional support. The study underscores the potential of LMS as an effective instructional platform while highlighting the need for sustained training and institutional support to maximize its impact on teaching and learning.
