Abstract

This paper examines how and why university instructors use collaborative tools within learning management systems (LMS). Using questionnaire data from fifteen universities and system log data tracking instructors' use of an LMS at one university, we found that instructors' (1) perceptions of value for collaborative LMS tools are related to institutional context, (2) use of collaborative LMS tools varies between academic units within one university, and (3) perceptions of value for collaborative LMS uses are not consistent predictors for whether an instructor uses a collaborative LMS tool.
