This report takes a closer look at some of the findings from the 2017 Student and Faculty Technology Research Studies about the LMS, as well as the preferences of students and faculty for teaching and learning environments, to investigate the relationship of blended learning and the LMS and to set the stage for a discussion of what might come next for the LMS.
Without integrative leadership, digital transformation is unlikely to occur in higher education.
